Arabic Music Respite

If you are fed up and want to have a relief from both mundane stress and what you watch/hear/read everywhere, you are welcome to join me. I do not know about you, but I like listening to classical music in general and Arabic Music in particular. Hence, in this post, I am going to place two melodies by the Egyptian musician “Omar Khairat (Arabic: عمر خيرت)” who was born in 1949.

For those who know nothing about him, Omar Khairat earned his degree from ‘Cairo Conservatoire’ and continued his studies in ‘Trinity College of Music’. He is well known for Egyptians and Arabs -both inside and outside the Middle East- with his compositions; either his own melodies or the ones that were written for famous Egyptians films, drama and plays in the last quarter of the 20th century. Furthermore, his uncle was the Egyptian architect “Abu Bakr Khairat (Arabic: أبو بكر خيرت)” who was among the first generation of classical music in Egypt and who became the first dean for Cairo Conservatoire from 1959 to 1963.

“If a composer could say what he had to say in words, he would not bother trying to say it in music.” ~ [Gustav Mahler]

Although it is hard to pick among his various melodies, I am sharing these two and hope you will enjoy them. This First piece entitled ‘A Storm In Spring (Arabic: ربيع في العاصفة)’. The second one entitled ‘Emta El-Zaman (Arabic: امتى الزمان)’ which is a contemporary remix for an old Arabic song by Mohammed Abdel Wahab (Arabic: محمد عبد الوهاب) with the same name.
