the rehearsal |
Three-hour rehearsals are held once a week. They usually start with Professor Racy leading the
Ensemble in call-response passages that outline the various maqâmât (melodic modes) and
iqa'ât (rhythmic modes), followed by pieces from the Ensemble's repertoire.
Ensemble members come from the Ethnomusicology Department, the
greater UCLA student body, and the local community. |
