14.1 - Mandira Hijaz
Continuing Mandira Hijaz
Tareq:
Hello my name is Tareq Al Jundi from izif.com. today In lesson number 14 we will continue with Mandira Hijaz. Let us pick up where we left off, we have Re Re Si Do La Si Si Sol La Sol Si La Sol La Fa Mi Re Mi Fa Sol La Si Do Re Re Si Do La Si Si Sol La Sol Si La Sol La Fa Mi Re Re Re. as if it was, again I will read it while counting 1 2 1 2 1 2 3 1 2 1 2 1 2 3 1 2 1 2 1 2 3 1 2 1 2 1 2 3 1 2 1 2 1 2 3 1 2 1 2 1 2 3 1 2 1 2 1 2 3 1 2 1 2 1 2 3 . let us look at it, even if we read a bit slower Re Re Si Do La Si Si Sol La Sol because it is Re Re Si 1 2 3 Si Si Sol 1 2 3 , in this first bar here Do takes 2 beats and La takes 2 beats, if you play even slower it will be Ta Ta Ta Ta Ta Ta Ta Ta Ta Ta, like this.
So, when we read it slower, we pick up speed gradually, I leave it to you to read slowly, because if I read slowly we will never finish. Here I am reading it in medium speed, then I record it in high speed, and I showed you how to read it slowly.
Let us look here, again from the same point Re Re Si Do La Si Si Sol La Sol Si La Sol La Fa Mi Re Mi Fa Sol La Si Do Re Re Si Do La Si Si Sol La Sol Si La Sol La Fa Mi Re Re Re. as you can see here, the picks are down down up down up, down down up down up, down up down up down up down up down up down up down down down up down up down down up down up down up down up down up down down down .
This way we have connected it. Next we have Do Re Mi Fa Sol Sol Si La Sol Fa Mi Re Mi Fa Sol Fa Mi Re Do Sol Fa La Sol Do Re Mi Fa Sol Sol Si La Sol Fa Mi Re Mi Fa Sol Fa Mi Re Do 1 2 1 2 1 2 3, written like this 1 2 1 2 1 2 3 1 2 1 2 1 2 3 1 2 1 2 1 2 3 1 2 1 2 1 2 3 1 2 1 2 1 2 3 *Play* 1 2 1 2 1 2 3 1 2 1 2 1 2 3. I will try to play it for you *Play* and repeated of course.
Next we have 1 2 1 2 1 2 3 1 2 1 2 1 2 3 1 2 1 2 1 2 3 1 2 1 2 1 2 3 *Play* same phrase is repeated, and I wrote 8V above, which means Octave higher, instead of writing it her for example *Play* I kept it as is and I put this arrow here, 8V means that this phrase until end of the line should be played with a higher octave, so we play it from here *Play* of course it has to be played in half position, which is Do Do Mi Re Do Do Do Mi Re Do , the position here is Do Sol Fa Mi Re Do, Do Sol with the second, # Fa, ♭ Mi, Re, Do, which results in *Play* like this. I have to practice this position Do Re Mi Fa Sol *Play* which we talked about in the beginning of classes, when we explained shifting.
The phrase sounds like this with a higher octave *Play* here we have something new Sol Fa La Sol, this is Sol, this is Fa, La will be with fourth *Play* the phrase becomes like this *Play* like this.
I would like to draw your attention to something, if my thumb was positioned here, La will be a bit tricky, as I have told you before, the wrist must be angled down, not like this because this makes it difficult to play, it must be like this.
Let us try to repeat the last part from the bass, Do Do Mi Re Do *Play* now back to chorus, which is *Play* this concluded Mandira Hijaz, or what is called Hijaz Mandra in Turkish, but in Arabic it is Mandira.
This piece, Doltoran, 7/8 is something new I know, it needs lots of practice, lots of patience, and many errors will arise, but eventually those errors will teach us how to play correctly. Please stick to the picks as I have written them for you because no one can play this piece unless with the picks that have been based on derivations, such as the case in triplet and quadruplet units. If you play it using trial and error, you will face a lot of obstacles because you will not be able to play it correctly. This scale is rickety and is accurately calculated. Practice well and see you in the next lesson.
