Semitic Music Theory

By Richard Dumbrill

This volume analyses eight cuneiform texts of Ancient Near-Eastern Music theory, essential to the understanding of Ancient Semitic Music, to a level never achieved before. The author explains why previous interpretations had been misapprehended because they were analysed with Western musicological methods, and addresses these problems.
