I have not been able to find much on this, so I plan to cross-post in several places. I have learned enough to know that even a taxsim can help "place" the music for a performance. Many of the taxsim that we hear are Egyptian; but, I have heard some that are definitely Turkish. Thus, my questions: First, is there a concept of "taxsim" in Khaleegi music? Second, (more broadly) what can you use to identify the "place" represented in a Taxsim? (I am looking for both instrumentation and musical attributes.) My main interest at the moment is Khaleegy, due a project I am working on; however, if we wind up diverting a bit, I am OK with that.
Thanks!
Thanks!
