Habib Hassan Touma (Arabic: حبيب حسن توما) (12 December 1934 – 10 August 1998)[1] was a Palestinian composer and ethnomusicologist, born in Nazareth, who lived and worked for many years in Berlin, Germany.[2] Touma authored a number of books, essays and musicological studies on Arabic; Turkish or Iranian music, among them The Music of the Arabs, first published in 1975 in German and translated into several languages.[3]
He was also a book review editor for the ethnomusicological journal The World of Music, published by the International Institute for Traditional Music in Berlin.[4] Among other studies based on his field work in Arabic countries, he published a description and photographs of the Work Songs of the Gulf Pearl Divers of Bahrain.[5] Another of his studies treated the Arabic musical influence on the Iberian Peninsula during the period of Al-Andalus.[6]
