Proceeds support hands-on world music and dance programming for San Diego students in schools underserved by the arts. These performances sell out well in advance. The ticket price includes admission to the performance and access to Mingei International Museum’s Gallery Level ($14 value) after 4 PM on the day of the performance. The sounds of the oud (short-neck fretless lute), qanun (a traditional Middle Eastern stringed instrument similar to a zither), and darbukkah/tablah (goblet drum) will transport you to another place and time. Lose yourself in the classical and folk songs from the Arab world with Al-Salam Ensemble. Being all fretless, these instruments can be comfortably used to perform the Arabic Maqam scales.Al-Salam Ensemble Maqāmāt: Pathways to Beauty in Arab Music The violin, viola, cello and upright bass are very widely used in Arabic music, especially in large ensembles like Umm Kulthum's Orchestra and the Diamond Orchestra in Egypt.
They are used to various extents in Arabic music, especially in modern Arabic Jazz fusion styles. The flute, saxophone, clarinet, and trumpet are not equal-tempered instruments and allow greater control over pitch than the above. Drum sets and electronic percussion are are also commonly used with contemporary Arabic pop/dance music.
Some of these instruments can be altered to produce quartertones. These include the piano, the electric piano, the electric organ, the Oriental keyboard, the accordion, the electric guitar, and the electric (fretted) bass. Others were used as 12-tone equal-tempered instruments without any alteration. Some Arabized instruments were altered to play additional notes and deliver a close enough version of the correct Arabic maqam intonation. Most of these instruments were pioneered in Egypt, where musicians developed new ornamentation styles and playing techniques that made these instruments sound "Arabic". The two families are meant to complement each other in order to create a richer and more complete sound.Īrabized instruments are non-Arabic instruments that came in to the Arabic music ensemble in the 20 th century and became part of the Arabic music sound of that period. The violin and the nay fall under sahb, the oud and the qanun fall under naqr. Stylistically, melodic instruments are divided into two families: sahb (pulling or stretching), and naqr (plucking or hammering).
Sometimes the riqq is supplemented/substituted with the tabla or the daff (frame drum), and the melodic instruments are supplemented with the buzuq.
The traditional Arabic ensemble or takht consists of four main melodic instruments: the oud, the nay, the qanun, and the violin, and one main percussion instrument: the riqq.
