A ''mehfil'' (Urdu: محفل; sometimes spelled ''mahfil'') is a gathering or evening of courtly entertainment of poetry or concert of Indian classical music and Pakistani classical music (particularly Hindustani classical music) and dance, performed for a small audience in an intimate setting. Historically, ''mehfil''s were presented in the homes or palaces of Muslim royalty or noblemen, who acted as these artists' patrons.〔(Rhythm n Raga: History of Hindustani Music - Developments During the 13th and 14th century hindustani music )〕 Today they are generally given in the homes of especially avid music lovers. ''Ghazals'' are a common genre performed at ''mehfil''s. Such performances are rarer today than in the past. ==Etymology== The word ''mehfil'' derives from the Arabic word ''mehfil'' ((アラビア語:محفل)), which means a (festive) "gathering to entertain (or praise someone)." ''Mehfil-e-Naat'' is an Islamic ''mehfil'' (forum) in which people sit and recite poetry in the praise of the Prophet Muhammad. ''Mehfil-e-Sama'' is a gathering held for Sufi devotional music such as Qawwali or prayer and chanting, Hadhra, part of Dhikr (remembrance of God). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mehfil」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
