    so lets say we started on Bayati Re , and you then modulate into Nahawand sol, how do we confirm that we actually have moved to Nahawand sol when the bayat itself is made up of Jins Bayati Re and Jins Nahawand sol , cant we still imagine we still in bayati at the very beginning of the song as you demonstrated rather than saying we started on Bayati moved to Nahawand then Bayati again , because when i tried to modulate into Nahawand Do , or La , it was not making sense , since from previous knowledge acquired i can only modulate from a maqam when i get to it fourth degree , and for our case Bayati re its forth degree is Sol , correct me if i am wrong - we all learning

    • @MayaYoussefMusic
      @MayaYoussefMusic Před 28 dny

      hey @osamaathman29 thanks for your question. In terms of your first question: if it is bayati re (d) How can we confirm that we moved to Nahawand sol (G) ; the answer is a change in interval. to be literal the note si (b) becomes bemol (flat) instead of si half bemol (b half flat) which is rast. the WHOLE chain is maqam bayati. HOWEVER, Arabic music 99% of the time is a shift in specific building blocks vs a shift in the ENTIRE maqam (which is a widespread misconception) . Lastly the most important thing is to know that you can start a maqam from ANY note (la si or literarly anything ) but what will not change is the intervals. I suspect that is what is confusing you ..hope that makes sense and is helpeful ?

      @@MayaYoussefMusic you are absolutely right, but From some previous teacher, I was taught there are originally 2 forms of Bayati Re , one is playing jins Bayati followed by Rast and the other was playing Jins Bayati then followed by jins Nahawand , sourced from Maqam world website by Sami Abu Shumays and he personally shared his own insights with me that you can play a taqsim by either playing Bayati-Rast or Bayati-Nahawand or mix them all at once in a taqsim

If you look at this video I have used both Nahawand and Rast in the branch as both are part of Bayati's core structure. In taqsim you always use ALL of the building blocks in maqam core structure. hope thats clear now :)

      In terms of finding someone who teaches the same as me, I am not sure any one teaches maqam and taqsim the way I do. Please bare in mind I have been developing the Taqasim Mastery Method over the past 5 years. While some aspects of it are not new, the biggest bulk of it is developed by me so you literarly can't find it anywhere else. The beauty of this method is that it speaks to the fundamentals of taqsim for ALL instruments.

    As an Australian born Greek, I love this music, and it resonates deep inside.

I love how our two cultures are like the dearest, closest cousins. Music, love, and peace... from Australia, Sophia. ❤

    I don't play an authentic Arabic instrument but guitar and ukulele with additional frets. Especially for Ukulele with it's high register I found some interesting ways to harmonise arabic folk melodies with chords that contain quarternotes. In one case I had a melody in D with accidentals Ed (half flat) and Bb (flat). I chose to change between Dm and the neutral C chord, later on I also play the descending line Gm, F, Cneutral, Dm. The accompaniment included a single higher note plucked with the thumb followed by a trichord around that note (due to the weird tuning of Ukulele). So Dm was realized by first plucking a high D and then A-D-F#, here D was played on two strings of the Ukulele and thus repeated. And for the Cneutral I played Ed (half flat) followed by G-C-G, avoiding to play all at the same time. The Ukulele has a very limited sustain compared to kanun, so even letting ring might not really count as playing together.

    • @user-ig8pd9qn5h
      @user-ig8pd9qn5h Před 4 měsíci

      In an other Song that started on the quaternote Ad (half flat), I identified it as a neutral 7 of a Bb major chord, playing Bb-F-Ad actually worked really nicely even with strumming, and then its relief in a major Eb Chord. Using non arabic instruments, of course, already removes me from the track of authenticity and thus gives new freedom of interpreting the material.

    • @MayaYoussefMusic
      @MayaYoussefMusic Před 4 měsíci

      Thanks for sharing your experience. You were harmonising with maqam Kurd by the sound of it so it’s far easier to add chords since it’s a quarter tone free maqam. Chords get muddy wren you try to add them to microtonal maqamat and when you over use them otherwise 😊

    • @user-ig8pd9qn5h
      @user-ig8pd9qn5h Před 4 měsíci

      @@MayaYoussefMusic Well no, I do indeed use quarter notes: Ed is "E half flat" of Maqaam Bayati (in the key of D), this goes for the first song. And Ad is A half flat and the starting note of a song only using the notes F G Ad Bb, which should be Jins Upper Rast but weirdly starting and ending in Ad. For the accompaniment I only used Eb major and Bb major, but in the part starting on the note Ad, I played the power chord plus neutral seven: Bb-Ed-Ad. This is not that dissonant as it can be identified as 6:9:11 in terms of frequency ratios. I like the sound. A minor chord with frequency ratios 10:12:15 is not much more consonant except for the pairwise frequency ratios. Even a chord with neutral third can work in context, yet it will be muddy on a lower pitched instrument, but on Ukulele it is totally fine. I still agree: One should not add too many notes. On microtonal Ukulele I very often resolve to power chords.
