Help with arrangement
Hi,
I'm to perform Alf Leila Wa Leila (interestingly, in a flamenco show) on May 4th, on (my Sukar electric) oud. Attached is the edited 4min version we
are working with.
***I can't attach because of the file size, will post a link when I can upload the mp3 soon***
Basically I need an idea of what part to play on the oud. We have a singer, a violinist, a percussionist, and oud. All the other parts seem pretty
clear, the violin will be replacing the synth strings on the recording, and one thing I know I'll do is play the organ solo bits on oud. (What's that
arabic organ called?)
Otherwise, should I be playing the bass line and/or doubling the vocal line? Doubling the vocal seems like the thing to do, but will be quite
challenging.
Advice? Is there an oud recording of this piece I should listen to?
ps. Am I correct in thinking that this piece is in maqam Farafazah with one modulation to a Sol Hijaz tetrachord?
