Xauen Music, Inc. has developed an exhaustive database of accurate
scores, prepared and reviewed by eminent professional musicians
and ethnomusicologists. Access to the scores is via an organized,
searchable database (composer, genre, country of origin, maqam...).
A second aspect of Xauen's publishing program involves translation
and writing of instructional books for Oriental instruments.
Finally, Xauen Music, Inc. develops Tarab, a bi-monthly publication
dedicated to those who, like us, have a passion for classical Arabic,
Turkish, Sephardic, and Armenian music.
The target audience includes ethnomusicology
students and professors, musicians, members of the music industry,
and those who enjoy Oriental music. Issues contain ethnomusicology
articles by renowned scholars, profiles of academic and community-based
ensembles, music history articles, CD reviews, interviews, music
theory articles, calendar listings, and ads appropriate to our readership.
Tarab serves as a treffpunkt for sharing ideas about performance,
teaching, networking, fieldwork, recording, and other activities
that will keep this music alive.
