Soufiane by Egyptian composer Halim El-Dabh on Yamaha reed organ

Artis Wodehouse plays Soufiane by Egyptian composer Halim El-Dabh on a 1960s Yamaha reed organ 4/29/19. The title "Soufiane" is somewhat cryptic, but may refer to El-Dabh's use of the interval of a 2nd, two notes adjacent to each other. He explores this interval in much of his work, and they, in turn may be a way for the composer to suggest non-Western micro-tuning. "Halim Abdul Messieh El-Dabh (Arabic: حليم عبد المسيح الضبع‎, Ḥalīm ʻAbd al-Masīḥ al-Ḍabʻ; March 4, 1921 – September 2, 2017) was an Egyptian American composer, musician, ethnomusicologist, and educator, who has had a career spanning six decades. He is particularly known as an early pioneer of electronic music.[1] In 1944 he composed one of the earliest known works of tape music,[2] or musique concrète. From the late 1950s to early 1960s he produced influential work at the Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center.[3] Like Béla Bartók before him, El-Dabh has also conducted numerous research trips in various nations, recording and otherwise documenting traditional musics and using the results to enrich his compositions and teaching. From 1959 to 1964 the most significant of these trips included investigations of the musics across the length and breadth of Egypt and Ethiopia, with later fieldwork being conducted in Mali, Senegal, Niger, Guinea, Zaire, Brazil, and several other nations. During the 1970s, El-Dabh served as a consultant to the Smithsonian Institution and conducted research on the traditional puppetry of Egypt and Guinea." ...courtesy Wikipedia Video at the Richmond Free Library, VT, Scott Barber, videographer.
