Abstract: There is hardly any evidence suggesting that the singing contest of Sāmarrā’ deals with traditio. Music is mainly performance, and the significance of improvisation allows the singer, male or female, to assume a key position. Regardless of the school, Arab Music of the 9th century is characterized by the aemulative event, especially in the form of competition and contest.
