The Moroccan Andalusian music has survived for more than half a millennium in North Africa by virtue of both oral and written processes of presentation and transmission, a characteristic referred to as mixed orality. The two types of process can coexist within the tradition because they embody distinct kinds of meaningful action within the social frame: orality involves participants in the tradition in direct, personal relationships; while literacy connects the tradition and its participants with the prestigious activities and relationships associated with poetry in Arabic. Orality and literacy thus bind the tradition within its social milieu in distinct but complementary ways. The history of the tradition is reexamined using classical and modern sources in order to underline the role played by various kinds of informal and formal institutions, showing that oral processes foster personal relationships that have been central to the tradition throughout its history. Since the end of the 18th century, written anthologies of the song texts have provided iconic representations whose conventions link the tradition to the medieval Arabic poetic heritage. At the same time, these written aspects of the tradition have facilitated institutionalization in the modern era, which represents a fundamental break from earlier economic and social arrangements between master musicians and their students. Modern performance contexts and the institutions that support them represent a similar shift in the tradition's social basis. The effort to preserve the tradition as a national cultural heritage has therefore also disrupted the tradition's social foundations. A value theory of tradition is proposed which explains the appeal of tradition in terms of the importance assigned to actions within its social frame, and thus is able to account for the persistence of the tradition's mixed-oral character over centuries, despite dramatic changes in its social milieu. The dissertation concludes by examining the modern printed anthologies and their manuscript sources, revealing the significance of orality in forming the written corpus and the traces of oral processes preserved in the texts.
