Abstract

This concise article samples and distills, in overview, some essential descriptions, line drawings, and musical transcriptions, which ultimately came to inspire Western composers entranced by the concept of the "Orient" in the mid nineteenth century - as documented by two intrepid early "ethnomusicologist-travellers": the British Egyptologist/Orientalist, Edward William Lane (1801-76), and the influential French composer-explorer, Felicien David (1810-76).
