Arabic Music: Lebanese folk song “Idi w Idak”
Sister Marana Saad will be presenting for my workshop a Lebanese folk song describing the beauty of Lebanese nature and birds. The text is written by Wahib Keiruz and arranged by the Lebanese composer Toufic Succar (1922-2017) in 1972 for mixed choir with an oriental instrument (qanun). The modes of this song are in Bayeti Re and Rast Sol with different movements.
