Abstract

The study of music in the context of religious traditions is one of the highly sought-after destinations in the modern musicology. However, scope of scientific understanding varies depending on different traditions in one way or another. In particular, in Russian musical science the Muslim tradition is studied to a lesser extent than the Christian tradition. The originality of the music intoning of the Qur’anic texts is usually defined by such terms as “melodeclamation’, “song-like recitation”. It seems, however, that these concepts do not fully capture the essence of music principality of the religious practices of Islam. This paper presents a variety of approaches to the problem of intonation of the Qur’an from a scientific point of view, first of all – from the point of view of Oriental and Ethnomusical studies
