Superb and inviting performance, the artistry appreciated
As an Australian born Greek, I love this music, and it resonates deep inside. My darling father Panos would often play these chords on his bouzouki and oud, I wish I had learned to play, now sadly he's no longer with us. I love how our two cultures are like the dearest, closest cousins. Music, love, and peace... from Australia, Sophia. ❤

Amazingly beautiful
🙏🏼💚 very proud of Lene
1:39 „i‘m a jazz guy, let me do it“ - me (probably; right now). I actually kind of like the jarring sounds of microtonal chords, but I generally like dissonance.
Some qanoun are made from synthetic skin. Are those any good for sound?
Is there a specific type of fish skin to use? I heard that fish skin is prone to ripping, and will make the strings lose their tuning more often. But what type of fish skin to use? 🐟🐠
This is an Armenian instrument. I hope you tell people what you’re playing
You definitely deserve more recognition
Thank you, for the beauty and intensity of your playing. Does indeed convey love and prayer. All good things, Cynthia, Adelaide, Sth Australia
Thank you so much 🙏🏼🤍
Wow, that is some amazing recognition by a qanunist who is known all over the Arab world. Indeed, Maya - you are a complete master and a huge inspiration to all of us learners along the Qanun path!
Thank you so much 🙏🏼🤍
شكراً
not a note played in the testimonial?😢

😍😍😍😍😍😍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Impressive
For the nerdy, enter the scale in Scala (like "equal 24"), then Analyse menu->Show chord presence... (or chords/match/constrained on the command line).

What is the metal plectum you have in your fingers called? What is the proper name?
Rings are called Khatem /plural khawatem and plectrums are called rishe / plural riyash 😊
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.
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.
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 😊
@@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.
grate video. my problem on ears is not how to go to next maqam but how to return to previus does a formula exists on this?
sweetly played
lovely
🙏🏼😊thank you will pass this on to Ibada
very Good!
❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
Glad you found it helpful 🙏🏼😊

Weirdly, I have been wondering that. Or, at least, I've been struggling to add chords to a melody using an unconventional (to Western music) scale.
ahhh thats so nice to hear!
Thank you Maya❤
