    The oud is, absolutely, one of my favorite instruments on the planet. Ditto with the kanoun!!

    This is AWESOME! I have an unalloyed passion for both Bach and Middle Eastern music, particularly the oud!!!!! There is an expression "Only in Boulder"--here is a wonderful example of that!! Incorporating this magnificent instrument and repertoire into the Bach Festival! Proud of my home town and will always consider it HOME even though I live elsewhere because of career.

      I play a real Oud. All religious aspects aside, this is so beautiful and dreamy instrument.
      Fretless neck instruments were there, played at resting places for fun, played at desert Inns for money, 2000 BC along at Silk Road. 2000 or 3000 years before our current prevailing religions.
      Music has been around. Music has always been around.

      The People's Republic of Boulder sure is an interesting place.
      I personally enjoy the area around Ned quite a bit.

    I feel that with an Oud you hear the wood. The tone is very natural and responsive. Beautiful Instrument and you played it well!

      Actually Oud means wooden stick and it can also mean wood.

      The Turkish starts from the Re tone and ends with it, and the Arabic is two types, the first starts from the Do tone and ends with it, and the second starts from the Fa tone and ends with it

    • @BoulderBachFestival
      @BoulderBachFestival  9 месяцев назад

      Haha, very funny 😊 In fact we present 500 years of music across time and across cultures, navigating the waters of music history with JS Bach’s music as a compass-sometimes a point of departure or arrival. It isn’t uncommon for a Bach festival to present other music, from jazz to various world/folk traditions. This year, in addition to Bach we’re presenting new music by Icelandic composers, including a long time collaborator with Sigur Rós, an amazing composer named Maria Sigfusdottir. And going the opposite direction in time, to pre-Bach, we’re hoping Brandon Acker will come out to Boulder next season for some ancient music on various plucked instruments.

    For those who support that all these musical instruments come from Persia and Turkey, just to inform you that Oud, Guitar (Kithara) and many other musical instruments are not from Turkey or Persia! Specifically the Oud it comes from ancient Greece. The Oud's ancestor was Tambouras. It was founded on Hellenic islands and then travelled to the East. It has had the main role in Eleusinian Mysteries together with Visoukio (bouzouki today). I have original Historic books with big Bibliography and sources about them. Thank you! EYHARISTO.

      Bouzouki is a pretty young instrument my friend, I am a greek myself you shouldn't make such bold statements. Offcourse original greek music was "oriental" long before the turks existence. Our ancient ancestors had their stringed instruments but kithara was not a guitar in the same way saz is not a guitar your comment is absurd. Offcourse the oud is as greek as it is arabic, we share fragments of our culture with all of our eastern Mediterranean and anatolian brothers.

      We should understand that the east is not our enemy we always had strong connections with its people through antiquity. Its the "europian" philelines who stole our identity in order to frame their culture as a continuation of ancient Greece making us ashamed for everything oriental about our culture in the name of ottoman corruption. And offcourse we should blame ourselves for allowing it to this day. Καλή συνέχεια Ιωάννη δεν είναι προσωπικό.

    The oud is based on Egyptian instrument and improved upon my the Persians but sure let's call it Arabic.
