Homs-Sana
An analytical study of the Rahbna music, “The Song of My Exile,” as a model for the music researcher Jamal Sami Awwad, included in the seventh session of the “Karam al-Lulu” episodes, which is held by the Mada Cultural Project in the literary hall of Sami al-Droubi in Homs culture.
This session is one of a series of episodes presented by the Mada Cultural Project in cooperation with researcher Awad, in which he tries to explain the songs of the Rahabna and brief some aspects of their creative project, in addition to a group of great musicians.
In a statement to Sana Ben Awwad, he sought, through this session, to present a poetic-musical-analytical approach to a song that does not last forever, and to deduce the aspects of beauty in this lyrical production, interpreting it, explaining it and presenting it to the audience in a way that might change their listening style to the song and their understanding of its meanings.
According to researcher Awad, Al-Rahbaneh chose the theme of love of nature and its elements for the song “Let me go abroad.” The text of this poem was imbued with the smell of love in an indirect way, with evidence of poetic images and ambiguity of meaning, which are the most important methods of poetic production of Rahbani.
And he indicated that the theme of the song was patriotic, but it mixed between patriotism, social and emotional, as it expresses the flow of love flowing from the production of Al-Rahbanah and present in all the details of the song in the movement of melody, musical arrangement and template.
In turn, the director of the Mada Cultural Project in Homs, Ramiz Al-Hussein, stated that one of the amazing cases of the Rahbani brothers is that we are in front of two men who melted in music and poetry and were able to create immortal works.
The Ibrahim youth pointed out to the audience that Mada seeks, through its activities concerned with music, to embody a distinct cultural situation among the audience and shed light on the aesthetic aspects and the characteristics of great musicians whose name was immortalized in history through their distinguished works that etched in the minds of listeners and the contemporary of different generations.
