GIA Publications lists Shadows in the Moonlight: Songs of the Middle East among its 2026 music education releases. The collection brings together 43 traditional songs and is published as a 222-page softcover.
The publisher organizes the selections by language, with sections for Arabic, Persian, Turkish, Kurdish and Hebrew. Each section opens with an introduction to its region and culture, GIA says.
The book includes notation, English translations and phonetic pronunciations for the songs, together with online audio and video recordings. Its accompanying material also offers contextual information, teaching considerations and suggestions for related books and films.
GIA identifies the volume as part of its World Music Initiative series and lists it for general music. The publisher’s product information names music educator Joan Isaacs Litman and composer Wassim Ibrahim among the contributors.
The title appears in a catalog that also includes band, orchestra, choir and percussion resources for music educators. GIA’s product page provides the collection and its accompanying material details.
