Works documented in more than one form
Catalogued output
Works documented in more than one form
4 titles are catalogued under more than one form, which is to say the registers hold them both as a work and as a distinct object, score, recording or edition. Where a title is documented in several forms the evidence behind it is correspondingly wider, and the article treats those forms as separate records of the same work rather than as separate works. Fatet Ganbena — catalogued as song, single and musical work/composition. Gana Elhawa — catalogued as song and single. Qareat El Fengan — catalogued as song and single.
In a Day, In a Month, In a Year
1959 — catalogued as song and single
Compositions without a settled date
Catalogued output
Compositions without a settled date
6 further compositions are catalogued under Hafez's name without a date the collections agree on, which is why they are set apart from the dated run rather than placed in it. They belong to a run of 10 titles in all, from 1956 to 1966.
Qareat El Fengan
Primary material
Recordings and discography
The discography assembled here shows how Hafez's work has been published in sound, not what Hafez made. 46 sound issues are catalogued, carrying dates from 1956 to 2021. An issue is a published recording, distinct from the composition it carries, from a printed score of that composition and from any single performance of it; none of the entries below is counted in the catalogue of compositions above, and several of them carry the same work in different readings. 12 issues were published within the subject's lifetime and 34 after 1977, so the greater part of this record is the work of later performers, editors and labels. The 1990s are the densest decade of publication, with 21 issues. The performers and issuing labels are as the discographic register states them; where it names no performer the article names none.
