"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."
It is interesting vinteuil, also when one considers that the word maqam was taken over into the Sephardic (and others?) Jewish tradition. Also similarities to the Iranian dastgah:
Of the latter there are strong indications that the system of raga was influenced by maqam but they are separate entities, not derivations.
I don't know heaps on this subject but have delved into it a bit over the years, but wiki links are easier than typing.
I'm sorry, I should be setting a D, but I just don't feel like it at the moment. Maybe tomorrow, when my spines are down , or someone else can
I genuinely set questions which I think can be solved, but do try to come up with something new. I don't do it to show off, nor does it matter to me how somebody arrives at the answer, it's all harmless fun to me and I think here at least on AA it's all very cheerful. But I'm feeling a bit churlish at the moment so maybe I should go off and eat some slugs to help out a distressed gardener or two

We're all allowed an attack of the grumps every so often. Enjoy a fume somewhere and then return refreshed at your leisure to give us one of your customarily excellent puzzles.
