23 - Mawteni song
In lesson 23, we learn the Mawteni Anthem by the great Palestinian poet Ibrahim Touqan, Music by Mohammed Fulaifel. In this poem, there is an application on the new note and the information learned in previous lessons. Tareq starts by reading the note rhythmically and then reading the musical notes, afterwards he plays the bars gradually. Tareq continues the remaining of the anthem , and in the end suggests another method of playing it as an exercise for the right hand. He adds ornamentation when he plays the entire song and encourages the musician to do the same and vary their playing methods. __ Hello my name is Tareq Al Jundi from i3zif.com.. today in lesson no. 23 we will learn a very beautiful application, we all love it which is Mawteni song by the Flaifel brothers. Let us look and analyze this song, as you can see it starts Lavari , up-beat, the bar is incomplete, we will try to read, es ti fi ta fi ta fi ta, tifi ta fi ta fi ta tifi ta fi ta fi ta , tifi ta fi ta fi ta fi ta tifi ta fi ta fi ta , tifi ta fi ta fi ta tifi ta tifi ta ti, ta fi tati ta ta fi ta 2 3 , ta fi ta ta fi ta ta fi ta fi ta fi ta fi ta fi ta fi ta fi ta fi ta fi ta , ta fi ta 2 3 , ta fi ta fi ta fi ta fi ta fi ta fi ta fi ta fi ta fi 1 2 3, ta fi ta , I will stop here, because we will talk about this note we have here, the 3 croches connected together with no. 3 above them. I will talk about this now. As you can see, this song is on Kurd La scale, we have ♭ Si and finishes on the last note which is La. We will try to play it part by part, but first we will read with the note tifi ta fi ta fi ta, which is Fa Sol La La La La La, Sol La Si La Sol Fa Sol, Mi Fa Sol sol Sol Sol Sol, Sol Fa Mi Fa Mi Re Do Si La tifi La La La La La, Sol La Si La Sol Fa sol Re Mi Fa , Do Re Mi, Do Do Re Do Si La, then La La 1 2 3, … Do Si La Sol La Si Si La Sol Fa Fa Mi Fa Sol Sol Fa Mi Re Re Do Re 1 2 3, Re Do Do 2 3,Fa Fa Fa Mi Sol Fa Mi Mi Mi Mi Mi Re Fa Mi Re Re Do Re Mi 2 3 Do Si La, and stop.. focus here on the pick directions and write them down, because we have a mix of ups and down, a mix of notes and variations.. let us try to play it with the metronome 1 2 3 es …. Down up down, up down up down.. 1 2 3 … 2 3 …2 3 .. 2 3 … do not forget the ♭ Si which will be with the first finger on La cord.. which is based on Kurd La scale. This is the first part of Mawteni.. practice very well to move on to the second part. The second part of Mawteni, if we look at the fifth line, the last bar of the fifth line. We have the ta then this note which we haven’t talked about yet. We will talk about it but first I will give you a brief introduction. This note here is 3 croches connected together with no. 3 above them . in this case, due to the no. 3 above them, they are not croches anymore, each note will have the time of 1/3, and those 3 notes will have the time of one beat, and the pick directions is down up down.. let us try to read this note which is called Triolet.. it will be 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 TriOLet TriOLet TriOLet TriOLet, if we try to play this Triolet, which has the time of ta, and is down up down down up down down up down , like this as we said.. I will try to play it in the last bar of the fifth line, 1 2 … Tri O Let, down up down down up down.. let us try to play the last 2 bars in the fifth line 1 2 3 …. Now we will continue the explanation. From the fifth line, 1 2 … 2 3 .. Tri O Let ta, as you can see 3 equal thirds, with odd time, 1 2 3 1 2 3 Tri O Let, some people call it Ta fa fi ta fa fi… the name is not important, call it as you want, what matters is that they are 3 beats with the time of 1. Let us start from here, ta Tri O Let ta, one way or another it will be La La La La La, La La La 2 3 , Fa Sol La Do Si La La Si Do Re Do Si La La Sol Sol Fa Mi Fa Sol La La Si Do Re Do Si La La Sol Sol Fa Mi Fa Sol La Fa Mi 1 2 3, Mi Re Mi 2 3 ,Re Do Re Mi Fa Sol Fa Mi Re Do Si La Re 2 3 Do Si La Ta fi ta. I will read from the same bar, the last bar in the fifth line ta… 2 3 , Fa Sol La, La Si Do Re Do Si La La Sol Sol Fa Mi Fa Sol La La Si Do Re Do Si La La Sol Sol Fa Mi Fa Sol La , Fa Mi 1 2 3… 2 3 .. 2 3 … this way we finished Mawteni song in its 2 parts. I will try to play it in its original tempo, and notice the ornamentation, which is based on the notes we already learned.. this concludes the application of Mawteni song, practice well and listen to it, enjoy it and I will see you next lesson.
