Things to consider
El-Dabh's Mekta' series is best approached sequentially, starting with Books 1 & 2 before moving to Book 3. If adding The Derabucca to your program, confirm your students have access to the traditional percussion instrument or a suitable substitute, as it requires specific preparation and technique. Pairing these works with the classical composers in this collection creates meaningful dialogue between Western and non-Western musical traditions.
