Mohammed Qassabji's "Zikrayat" music sheet {Fantastic}

Guys,
This is the music score of Qassabji's Zikrayat, i thought i'd share it with you. It is really nice and challenging for oud players. I have a very rare recording for this piece as overture to his eternally miraculous song "Rak ElHabib" sung by Oum Kolsoum in King Farook of Egypt's palace Abdeen.
Play it and enjoy it.

ArabicMusicalScores.com (on the watermark) seems like a commercial wesbite.

I'm a bit confused - would the website hold the IP for the transcription?, or copying it off books sold in Cairo, etc.?

This is odd.

In that website you can check their "Free Music Sheet" they have some links that it seems you can use them.

thanks damascene_oud for the sheet music. would you know if there are any mp3s or online video clips of this song so those of us who haven't heard it can have a listen to how it ought be played?

it's very beautifully done on this album by the ziryab trio (taiseer elias, nassim dakwar, zohar fresco). this is a cd definitely worth having.

I have the original recording dating back to 1940 played by Mohammed Qassabji and Oum Kolsoum's Band in king Farook's palace. I will copy that on a CD and post it so soon.

Many of the previously posted attachments were "blown out" at one point, a couple years ago. This site has strict file size limits. I (think) I found your Facebook page, and I messaged you the 3 versions I have.
