Instruments
Middle Eastern music is built on the maqam system — melodic modes that define scale, starting pitch, melodic development, and emotional character. The oud, a fretless lute, provides microtonal expression through subtle pitch bends and ornamentation. The qanun (zither) adds cascading melodic runs, while the ney (reed flute) offers breathy, spiritual melodic lines. Rhythmic cycles called iqa'at range from simple 2/4 patterns to complex 10/8 and 7/8 structures, played on darbuka and frame drums. Ornamentation is extensive, with trills, glissandi, and microtonal embellishments enriching every phrase.
