Jadal Third Movement Oud and Piano Marcel Khalifeh

[amine6513]

Piano's structure as an instrument does NOT fit Arabic scales at all in my opinion. Arabic scales are much more complicated than the classical ones yet have more freedom and less organization when performed. the classical piano will always sounds out of tune when combined whit Oud or kanoon. Regardless, then was a freshness to this peace that I enjoyed.

Even the late Said Darwish put the piano in his composition... Such a coments usualy come from te people not knowing nider the great Arabic music, nor the huge Westers musical language....

@orvon007

I studied both Arabic music and classical, regardless the comment is not about me or you...if you want to contribute critic the peace itself not me.... what do you base you argument on ??? could you support your argument with something other that "even the late said darwish?"

A very lively discussion about the OUD vs. The piano.

Well it brought tears to my eyes to have such a beautiful work on YOU TUBE for us in the US to enjoy.

Thanks for making the video and for posting it.

Vriament c'est extraordinaire; ca se voit qu'il y a dérriére ce spectacle un grand effort et beaucoup de travail et on doit encourager hussam; je suis un joueur de luth et jeune compositeur marocain et j'ai appréciué cet arrangement. bonne continuation.

Nice! El Bint El Shalabiyya in Piano / Oud! AWESOME! :)

The lute out of tune, OK, but I don't understand how the paino is out of tune as well

[hussamasmar]

I am afraid the Piano is not. This is what you feel when the Oud "lute" is playing an oriental scale with oriental notes and the Piano is playin harmony

[ramzi606]

No body, it's not that. I understand harmony very well and I play both lute and piano. listen carfuly and you will know what I mean

[Albolbol]

I'm sorry to say that the oud player needs more practice and also his oud is not well tuned. sorry again.

[hussamasmar]

he has been playing for almost a year, so I guess this is fair for a one year old player

[fadinoraan]

The piano here has more power over the oud. I think you cannot combine oud with piano in one movement. One is western instrument and the other is eastern.They cannot be combined.

[hussamasmar]

This is what makes this music different. Combining oriental and western instruments.

Sorry did not realize that it was posted by Hussam Asmar. Thanks for the post. Looking forward to more!

This music sets a new trend.

"in some modern compositions harmony might appear as an integral part of the composition and not as coloring. This is the case in Marcel Khlife's "Jadal" an instrumental composition in four movements". Taken from an Artticle on Harmony in Arabic Music.
