Quran

Quran music is a genre of Islamic music that is based on the recitation of the Quran, the holy book of Islam. It is typically performed by a solo vocalist, accompanied by a small ensemble of traditional instruments such as the oud, qanun, ney, and tabla. The music is often characterized by its slow, meditative tempo and its use of melismatic vocal ornamentation. The lyrics are usually in Arabic, and the music is often used in religious ceremonies and gatherings.
