[zihgir]

it's a Serif Muhiddin Targan composition... His Oud Teacher, and grandson of Prophet Mohammed(S.A.V.)

[skalatka]

this is 100% munir bashir composition .

[Mariekesone]

Unbelievable..

[LanangYogya]

Awesome!!!! He's Maestro!!!

@Hfarah31 I see what you mean about appreciating the technique. I suppose you are listening to it from the performative aspect. Of course I can't argue about the composition while you argue about its transcription or performance. Agreed, the technique is great for this.

I don't however agree that the song has nothing interesting. What you said would be like criticizing Flight of the Bumble Bee for going up and down the chromatic scale.

[Hfarah31]

@ZeitOner sure... but all im saying is that musically this song has nothing interesting. it just goes up and down a minor scale and various chromatic scales. Where its beauty lies is in its insanely hard to master technique that not a lot of oud players can pull off.

[ZeitOner]

Wait, are these compositions all based on Western scales and conventions? Will someone who knows help? Thanks :)

[ZeitOner]

@Hfarah31 Without notes there is no technique. Without technique there are no notes.

[Hfarah31]

@zihgir doesnt really matter since this song's genius lies with its technique and not its notes

[hariskrijestorac]

It sounds so big, I can't believe its less than 2.5 minutes long!
