arab medley ?

juju - 5-12-2014 at 02:54 AM

Hi,
I found that player very interesting.

I am wondering what tune is he playing ?
I have the impression that he is playing a medley of "standard" tunes ...
Does anyone recognize those tunes ???
Thanks.
Juju.

I am really liking the look of that Oud.
Very beautiful instrument. and the description says it's made in Brazil? Very interesting

Up to about 1:20:

-Taqsim Rast

-Dulab Rast [A dulab is a set melodic instrumental introduction that can be played before any song in the maqam for which the dulab was written.]

-Çiftetelli Rast (Turkish rhythm ostinato)

-"Ya Shadi El Adhan" ("muwwashah" song written by Egyptian Sayed Darwish)

I don't know the name of the next song...

Peace out,

Thanks John !
For the last song I was thinking about "Ya teira tiri" (Sabah Fakhri) but I'm not shure
best,
Juju

I think there are 2 more songs starting about 1:50 or so, but I don't know the name of either, those the melodies sound somewhat familiar. I didn't hear the last song as "Ya Tira Tiri," but you never know, what with al the lazimah...

Best,
"Udi" John

(It's made of Brazilian Rosewood, not made in Brazil.)

Yeah, I think the bottom would be bigger if it was made in Brazil.

John Erlich - 5-15-2014 at 04:08 PM

Thank you both for the scores.

John Erlich - 5-19-2014 at 09:30 AM

Thanks for sharing the "Asal 'Alaya" music sheet, Abou Sammy! I noticed that the transcriber is Nicola Marjieh, who did about 1/3 of the arrangements available on the Ah Ya Salam website. Just out of curiousity, where did you find this score? I've searching for one for a long time.

Peace out,
"Udi" John

Hi Guys, sorry I was away for a while, the video is a light <b>rooster</b>tail of songs and melodies, Atlas dance is the last part, it is from a moroccan composer..yachadi alhan etc...
