'Ūd Taqsīm as a Model of Pre-Composition
1) enrich and develop my melodic-rhythmic vocabulary;
2) deepen my understanding of the structural, melodic and rhythmic processes underlying the genre;
3) design a structural framework or a model for pre-composing taqsīm-like pieces of music.
To put it another way, the dissertation discusses the creation of pre-composed taqāsīm. The pieces follow a specific model of pre-composition that was designed while taking al-Qaṣabjī and al-Sunbāṭī’s taqsīm practice as a reference and a source of inspiration. This model contributes to both artistic research and practical knowledge, and provides new insights into structural, melodic and rhythmical processes of the genre.

I decode and underline their most significant traits in order to:
1) enrich and develop my melodic-rhythmic vocabulary;
2) deepen my understanding of the structural, melodic and rhythmic processes underlying the genre;
3) design a structural framework or a model for pre-composing taqsīm-like pieces of music.

The artistic outcome of this project includes five new works for solo ‘ūd.
