This song is performed by the National Arab Orchestra and it is similar to one of the listening examples we heard in class however in contrast, this song flows from one section to another instead of abrupt changes. This song also mainly focuses on the ud as the solos are for the ud and the rest of the song is the whole orchestra. I chose this song because it almost feels like a song we would hear in a fantasy movie or a song that is telling someone’s story as it goes along. It also showcases the many different voices the ud can make when played in different ways. Another interesting fact about this song is that while playing the ud, Michael Ibrahim composed and directed this song.
