5.1 - Samaee Bayat
Tareq continues Samaee Bayat by Al Aryan and talks more about Samaee template
Tareq:
Hello my name is Tareq Al Jundi from izif.com. today in lesson number 5, we will continue the third and fourth verse of Samaee Bayat by Al Aryan. As I told you, Samaee starts in the first verse, ascending to the chorus a bit, in the second verse it ascends higher, it should peak in the third verse, the fourth verse is a summary and back to chorus . it basically ascends up to the peak and descends again, and now we will notice the peak. As I also said, we have transitions in the scale in the second and third verses, and usually in the first verse and chorus are played with the original scale. Those rules apply to the traditional heavy Samaee i.e Samaee template.
Let us look at the third verse, I will read it rhythmically 1 2 3 Ta Ta Ta Tati Tati Tati Ta ti Tati Ta ti Tati Ta ti Tati Tati Ta Ta Fa tifi Ta Ta Ta Ta Tati Tati Ta Tati Tati Tati Tati Tati Tati Tati Tati Tati Ta Ta Ta Ta Ta Ta Ta Ta Ta Tati Ta Ti Fi Ta. And back to chorus. Let us now try to read this verse with notes 1 2 3 Do Re Re Mi Fa Sol La Si Do Re Do Fa Mi Re Do Fa Mi Re Do Mi Re Do Si La La Si Do Re Mi Re Do Si Re Do Si La Si La Sol Fa Mi Re Do Si Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Si Do Si La Do Si Mi Re Re Do Si La Sol Fa Mi Re Sol Fa Mi Re. I want to draw your attention that on the last half we have a transition in ♭ Si Ajam scale which we will talk about. I will try to play this verse from the top 1 2 3 *Play* let us look what happened here, first of all we started with Bayat *Play* then this scale *Play* I played La with the first finger *Play* Do Fa Mi Re, notice how the highest note is Fa, and it is emphasized being the peak. It is now like this, from the beginning 1 2 3 *Play* the transition happened here ♭ Si and ♭ Mi to play ♭ Si Ajam *Play* this is ♭ Si Ajam *Play* this was the ♭ Si Ajam scale.
to perfect this scale, we can take any piece played on Ajam Do and play it on ♭ Si Ajam and record it. For example “Tal’a mn Beit Abouha” *Play* this was ♭ Si Ajam. *Play* after playing the ♭ Si Ajam scale from here, from the Ta Fa ti Fi, the second bar, the end of the second bar *Play*
at the last bar we went back to Bayat *Play* and back to chorus.
Let us look at the fourth verse. The scale of the fourth verse is different of course, it is different from Samaee scale, and it is a bit faster, as I have written here Allegretto , which is fast but not too fast. Sama’ee is written Andante. Andante means walking speed, step by step.
Let us look at the fourth verse, notice the pattern. We have Tati Tati Tati Tati Tati Ta Tati Tati Tati Tati Tati Ta Tati Tati Tati Tati Tati Ta Tati Tati Tati Tati Tati Ta, and there is the repeat sign.
I will try to read it with notes Si La Sol La Si La Sol Re Mi Fa Sol La Sol Fa Sol La La Sol Fa do Re Mi Fa Sol Fa Mi Fa Sol Fa Mi Si Do Re Mi Fa Mi Re Mi Fa Mi Re La Si Do Re. let us try to play the first bar 1 2 3 *Play* notice in the last bar and the second bar of the second line we see the ½ ♭ Si which is across from ½ ♭ Mi. let us look at the second part, we have Si La Si La Si La Si La Sol Fa Sol La Sol La Sol La Sol La Sol Fa Mi Fa Sol Fa Sol Fa Sol Fa Sol Fa Mi Re and there is a repeat sign, then Re Do Si La Sol Fa Mi Re Do Re and I can slow down gradually to go to chorus. Let us try to play this part 1 2 3 *Play* and then back to chorus. This concludes the third and fourth verse in lesson number 5. I will record Samaee Bayat from beginning to end, including some ornamentation. It is not required to imitate all ornaments, only what we can do, but it is very important to play the notes correctly in terms of periods and picks.
