2 - application on Nahawand scale
Mr. Tareq teaches us an application on Nahawand scale which is a song called “Uskudar”. It is a well known melody from the Iraqi heritage and one of the widely famous applications of this melody is a song called “Ya athouli la taloumni” by the great Iraqi musician Elham Al Madfaei. Mr. Tareq starts by explaining the musical note of the song and reminds us of the dotted note. He explains the note in terms of durations and reads the note rhythmically for the first musical sentence, he plays the first part while considering the basics of playing and the positioning of the left hand and focusing on a key point which is that the player has to use the minimum amount of effort while playing through applying those basics correctly. __ Hello my name is Tareq AlJundi from i3zif.com. Today in our second lesson of the curriculum of Mr. Omar Abbad, we will learn a new melody and application on Nahawand scale which is called Uskudar. This is a very old melody and exists in various places in the arab countries, turkey , Balkan… its origin is actually unknown, and is proclaimed by many. Let me play it for you once and then we will explain it. I am sure that most of you have heard this before or passed by it, only words change between areas. Let us explain Uskudar, as you can see in the first bar we have the dotted noir, then the croche which we called the ta ti. The first bar is ta ti tat a tati tati tat a. let us try the metronome on 52 tempo, 1 2 3 4 ta ti ta ta tati tati ta ta, ta ti ta ta tati tati tati ta. From the top, Do Sol Sol Sol , La Sol La Si Sol Sol, Fa Sol Mi Fa Sol La Sol Fa Mi Re Do, Do Sol Sol Sol La Sol La Si Sol Sol Fa Sol Mi Fa Sol La Sol Fa Sol . Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Sol Fa Mi Re Do Re Fa Mi Re Re Do Si Do Re Re Re Re, Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Sol Fa Mi Re Do, Re Fa Mi Re Re Do Do Si Do Sol Do , next, Sol La Sol Fa Mi Re Mi Fa Sol La Sol Fa Mi Re Do, Re Fa Mi Re Re Do Do Si Do Re Mi Fa Sol Sol , repeat , Sol La Sol Fa Mi Re Mi Fa Sol La Sol Fa Mi Re Do, Re Fa Mi Re Re Do Do Si seconda Do Sol Do , from the top… next… repeat… down to the seconda. Da Cappa Al Fine. From the top till the finale sign. I will read the second phrase Do Sol Sol Sol La Sol La Si Sol Sol Fa Sol Mi Fa Sol La Sol Fa Sol Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Sol Fa Mi Re Do Re Fa Mi Re Re Do Si Do Re Re Re Re Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Sol Fa Mi Re Do, Re Fa Mi Re Re Do Do Si Do 1 2. This concludes Uskudar which is application #2 on Nahawand Do scale, we have to practice it very well, noting the space between ♭ La and ♭ Si, between ♭ Mi and Fa, and this space.. because lots of people play the ♭ Mi a bit extra, this is the ½ ♭ Mi from the Rast, we want this sound. In addition to the Hijaz space the Sol ♭ La ♮Si. We have to practice very well with focus, slowly to produce the right note. See you in lesson 3.
