Ziryab, the musician of the Caliph
Ziryab was a musician of Persian descent who lived in Baghdad. In his youth, he was a student of the renowned singer Ibrahim al-Mawsuli, who served the Caliph Harun al-Rashid, protagonist of the famous Thousand and One Nights. The Caliph was said to have asked Mawsuli to recommend a new musician for his court Ziryab was taken thus before the Caliph, who was immediately impressed by his excellence as a musician as well as his voice. Ziryab's talent was so great that his teacher became envious and the student was forced to flee for fear of retaliation.
He later traveled to al-Andalus, after having lived several years in North Africa, in Kairouan, where his music acquired Berber tendencies. The musician served Abd al- Rahman as the monarch's confidant, adviser an court musician.
It is believed that he was called Zirgyab for the color of his skin, wich was dark, and the sound of his voice, which was reminiscent of the Persian black bird noted for its beautiful singing.
Ziryab revolutionized music, gastronomy, etiquette, and the ceremonial of the court of Abd al- Rahman II. He was renowned especially for his lute playing and teaching methods.
Considered the father of Andalusi music, his influence was to echo in the Christian kingdoms as well as the Arab world. He became especially famous in the Maghreb for the creation of his "nubas". He was said to have known more than a thousand songs by heart, most of which he composed himself. The ancient lute had four strings, which corresponded to the body's so-called humors: "the first was yellow and symbolized bile; the second dyed red, symbolizing blood; the third, white, symbolizing phlegm; and the bass string was dyed black, symbolizing melancholy. Ziryab added a fifth string in representation of the soul, and he placed it between the second and third strings.
His legacy, which remains alive today, was passed on to his disciples in a school that he established in Cordava -the city in wich he died in 857, at the age of 68 years old. He was the arbiter of elegance in Al- Andalus, where music, song and dance, which reached all social classes, shone with great splendor.
