"Songs of an Infatuated Muezzin, Op. 42" by Karol Szymanowski is a specialized book that explores one of the composer's most fascinating works. Written in 1918, the piece reflects Szymanowski's deep interest in Islamic culture, which was particularly pronounced during his time in Italy and North Africa. The texts of the work address the fantasy of a muezzin who oscillates between the call to Allah and the longing for an unattainable beloved in his role as a religious leader. Szymanowski combines European song traditions with sonic elements reminiscent of authentic Islamic music. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the work, including an introduction to the International Phonetic Alphabet and a literal translation of the Polish texts. It serves as a practical guide for singers and pianists who wish to engage with this rarely performed yet significant song cycle.
