Book:
The rich and varied folklore of the Druze has long attracted specialist ýscholarly interest. The present publication by the Druze Heritage Foundation, ýhowever, Music in Druze Life: Ritual, Values and Performance Practice, is the ýfirst to document the role music has played -- and continues to play -- as an ýaccompaniment to traditional life and an important factor in the shaping of the ýDruze lifestyle.

Music in Druze Life … and the accompanying CD are the product of this ýdistinguished collaboration, and the Druze Heritage Foundation is indebted to ýProfessor Racy and Dr. Hood for the immense effort and knowledge that has ýproduced an outstandingly beautiful work.ý
