Pieces. Please be ready to identify all the pieces we've performed so far, and say something (1-3 sentences) about them, including the following sorts of information (as available - not all information is available for every song or piece, so don't feel that you need to provide everything for each):

• the title
• the maqam and darb (if identified)
• the names of the composer and lyricist (if known)
• the singer with whom the piece is associated (if known)
• the genre (type of music)
• the source culture or country/region
• any other associated facts or history you may recall

I will play an excerpt from a recording; you will provide as much of the above (or other) information as you can, in approximately 1-3 sentences. You don't have to know anything about these songs that hasn't come up through this class (so don't go researching); there isn't always a definite "right" answer; and you don't have to provide every last detail. I'm just looking to see what information you can provide.
