Make the Case

Can you name a single musical steeped in the Islamic tradition?

Yeah, me neither. 

Does that seem odd to anyone else? A top-two most voluminous religion in the world, one stepped in a rich musical tradition…and yet, nary a score to its name?

This thought brought to you by Little Island’s one-night-only presentation of The Case of the Stranger, Whitney White’s new (upcoming?) song cycle that bears traces of this Islamic musical influence.
