الشعر الغنائي في العصر الأموي

Abstract EN

The current research has dealt with the topic of lyric poetry in the Umayyad era since the Caliphate of Muawiya in the year 41 AH, where literature flourished in the era of the Umayyads and its art varied, including singing that the Arabs did not know in the Jahiliyyah, as it is known in the Umayyad era.

Then, the objectives of Umayyad poetry were addressed, where new poetic purposes appeared and other old ones developed.

As for the poetry environments in the Umayyad era, poetry differed according to the nature of the events and developments taking place on the people of the region’s inhabitants.

As for the singing and poetry councils in the Umayyad era, in which singing differed from what was prevalent in the pre-Islamic era, where different colors and musical instruments were used from what was used before, and lyric poetry was characterized by many features, the most prominent of which was modernity in the style of poets, and the emergence of new colors, as the research dealt with The caliphs and the phenomenon of singing, where some of them asked to send singers and singers from the Hijaz, and some of them bought the singers.

The singers became professionally sung in Mecca and the Hijaz, where they revived the heritage of the pre-lslamic era.
