A collection of Arab songs from the Near East focused on Palestine. The songs were chosen for their cultural and musical value and encompass traditional, national, and contemporary popular genres. The book is arranged according to school levels and provides basic analyses of the maqams and rhythmic motives. It comes with the accompanying audio. The songs were collected, transcribed, annotated, edited, and presented by Dr. Issa Boulos, an 'ud player, composer, and ethnomusicologist.
