Release Notes:

The Muscat Oud Festival, held from November 29 to
December 1, 2005 in Muscat, Sultanate of Oman, was
the first of its kind worldwide. It was organised
as part of the cultural renaissance in the
Sultanate of Oman that started around 1970. For the
first time in history, this festival has featured
on one stage the whole Arabic world's today's most
admired players of the oud, the Arab lute, which
has been the symbol of Arabic music since ancient
times. Even today the oud plays an outstanding role
in the traditional education of young Arabic
musicians: Playing and singing, rhythms, music
theory and melodic modes are taught on this
instrument. At the festival, the oud was presented
both as a virtuosic solo instrument and as a
singer's instrument for self-accompaniment. Last
but not least it was also presented as a concerto
instrument with symphony orchestra -- a very recent
development, now forced by the Sultanate's belief
in cultural modernization. Beside Atiyya Sharara's
oud concerto of 1983, two more orchestral works
with the oud were brought to stage, composed
especially for the festival by Egyptian Ammar
El-Sherei who also played the oud part along with
the Royal Oman Symphony.

However, the first Muscat Oud Festival not only
proves the rich possibilities of the oud but the
wealth of Arabic music as a whole that has many
musical genres and more than 150 melodic modes.
Above all, the festival's overwhelming performances
show the irresistible power of "al tarab", the
Arabic concept of "enchantment" which means
communicating joy and sadness to the audience in a
deep, spontaneous, heart-gripping manner. Arabic
musicians are noted for their ability to improvise
in singing, playing or poetry and to move the
listener by the sheer expression of the moment's
feelings. Al Tarab reveals the blues and soul of
the oriental world.
