Notes
Ibn Khaldun (1332-1406) mentions music as one of the rational (philosophical) sciences in his work titled Muqaddimah. According to Ibn Khaldun, there are 7 rational (philosophical) sciences. The first of these sciences is the science of "Logic". Then, from the mathematical sciences, arithmetic, geometry, cosmography come next, followed by music, natural sciences and theological sciences. Ibn Khaldun accepts the science of music as a science that examines the ratios of sounds and melodies to each other and the methods of determining and measuring these ratios in terms of numbers. Its benefit is to teach the teganni tunes that must be followed while singing. Ibn Khaldun is an important Islamic thinker who examined music from all perspectives in his work titled Muqaddimah. In his work, we can find important information about music both in terms of performance and theory. Particularly in the following chapters, his inclusion of music in the category of wisdom and philosophical sciences shows that he is close to the thoughts of ancient Islamic thinkers about music. This teaches us that the musical thoughts and interpretations of Islamic thought and civilization are generally based on wisdom and philosophy. With these approaches, Ibn Khaldun reflects the musical thought of the late fourteenth and early fifteenth centuries.
