HOUTAF KHOURY : PIECE POUR PIANO
TATIANA PRIMAK KHOURY (PIANO)
LIVE FROM THE NATIONAL MUSICAL ACADEMY - KIEV , 1993
THIS PIECE WAS WRITTEN DURING MY FIRST STAY IN UKRAINE ... IN 1993 . IT BASED ON AN ARABIC ANDALUSIAN MELODY " LAMA BADA YATATHANA". It is a genre of Muwashah - a historical Arabic musical form of classical music. The Lama Bada Yatathana "Lamma Bada Yata Thanna", which can be traced back to the 10th century. It is a fascinating piece of music done in the samai rhythm, which is written in 10/8.
