In Arab culture, at the ineffable point where music meets emotion, lies ?arab. Often glossed as the ecstasy experienced and expressed when performing or listening to singing, instrumental works, and recitations of poetry, ?arab is both a practice and an orienting concept central to musical aesthetics and spirituality characteristic of Middle Eastern cultures.
