Hi Lara,

What a wonderfull idea! I made copies of the music (from Islamic nations) disk that came with the material for the May 13th seminar and gave them to one of the music teachers on my campus. I thought he might appreciate it. But here is the thing you might like to know! some of the sounds you here are not relly music. For example 4 or 5 of them are " call for prayers" eqivalent to the church bells(chimes). some are recitations of verses of koran. One is THE group prayer by pilgrims of Mecca(as they go in circles around the Kaaba). Some are instrumental music from various countries, but are not Islamic Music (as the CD information reflects). Only a few are actually religious(Islamic) Music, the songs (the lyrics and the music)are joyful prayers(Sound Pakistani and Arabic to me).

Your music is probably different from what we received in the seminar. If it is the same, it's not a bad idea to make sure that students will NOT dance to the Call for Prayers or to the verses of the Koran. Your Muslim students(if any!!) could get offended.
