Lovely playing, and a very tasteful arrangement. It's very easy for the piano to overpower an oud (or a guitar for that matter) in a duo setting like this, so I appreciate the intelligence, care and sensitivity on the part of both players that went into creating a balance (not just in volume, either, but also in the musical roles of each instrument) on this recording.

Love to hear some more from you both....

All the best, Mark

Very nice Riadh. Can you post more taqsims for solo oud please?

riadh.3oud - 6-14-2006 at 01:00 PM

Kasos, Hosam
thank you for your reflexions.
For the others, I accept criticisms too!! you can write something same if you do not like music!!!

Riadh,
Very successful arrangement. I used to play classical guitar with my brother the pianist.
I would also be interested in hearing you perform this great samai without the piano.

riadh.3oud - 6-17-2006 at 09:43 AM

hi jshead

thank you, i will record the samai oud solo

And here is the Chris Jarret version, same thing: oud, piano plus a riqq, i think.

I just found the sheet in arabic notation. Tomorrow i'll try to attach it....this is very much needed by lazy people like me as turkish has to be transposed à fifth lower.

Thank you riadh.3oud and pianoman

zalzal - 1-20-2007 at 04:30 PM

and the Zykrayat version here

http://www.zikrayatmusic.com/zik_music/Samai_Shadd_Araban.mp3.

I am dreaming to learn it and play it with all the versions here

zalzal - 1-21-2007 at 04:48 AM

as promised here is the sheet

amine2 - 1-21-2007 at 12:36 PM

je ne sais pas zalzal si tu as l'orielle absolue mais riadh joue cette iéce en Do...pas en sol...
:cool:

amine2 - 1-21-2007 at 12:39 PM

there is a percussionis who uses bendir and some symbals.
it is not bad.
i prefer riadh's version whid beautiful chords.
amine

amine2 - 1-21-2007 at 12:42 PM

chris jarrett est sympa, je trouve que sa musique est gentille.
son frere est un génie. keith est le plus grand pianiste de notre temps.

zalzal - 1-21-2007 at 01:08 PM

My ears are big potatoes and have less that 2% absolute musical capacity.
But am still alife and trying to learn music. May be after a whole life of fight i will reach 3%...

Can it still be a good exercise if i play oud G at same time i listen riadh3oud on C ?? It just may sound bizarre but still within perfect quintes, harmonically??

Est ce que cela peut être un bon exercise si je joue l'oud en sol au même temps que j'écoute riadh3oud en do? Cela peut sonner bizarre mais toujours en quintes justes, non??

Yes Keith Jarret is the genious of piano (impro, interpretation, composition) same as Picasso was for the painting.

amine2 - 1-21-2007 at 01:52 PM

moi je ne le fais jamais, tu peux demander a riadh ce qu'il en pense.
par contre il suffit que t'aies un oud accordé en fa, pour que ça sonne en do, et come ça tu pourras jouer avec la belle musique de riadh et ses beaux accords aux piano.
j'espere que tu comprends, je crois pas que ça soit trop clair.

amine2 - 1-21-2007 at 01:55 PM

riadh!
quand est ce que tu nous envois un nouveau morceau???
;)

Byrdman - 2-1-2007 at 11:06 AM

Absolutely beautiful.
It takes me to a place that I want to inhabit more often.
Thank you for sharing this!

suz_i_dil - 1-29-2008 at 10:31 AM

tres bel arrangement.
En esperant avoir l'occasion d' écouter d'autres duo de votre part.

MatthewW - 2-23-2008 at 02:51 AM

hi Riadh- your oud and friend's piano playing together is very lovely, and blended well, the piano is not too dominant. there was a beautiful samai'i nakess posted not too long ago with oud and piano, it might be worth putting it into this thread for another listen.

Merci zalzal pour la partition,

I used it to transcribe an other version of the Samai Shadd `Arabân :
