Prelude to River of Paradise – Sami Yusuf
Composed By : Sami Yusuf
Lyrics By [Arabic Lyrics] : Shaykh Zakariya Siddiqi
Lyrics By [English Lyrics] : Sami Yusuf, Bara Kherigi

lyrics:
Blessed is your face
Blessed is your name
My beloved
Blessed is your smile
Which makes my soul want to fly
My beloved
All the nights
And all the times
That you cared for me
But I never realised it
And now it’s too late
Forgive me
Now I’m alone filled with so much shame
For all the years I caused you pain
If only I could sleep in your arms again
Mother I’m lost without you
You were the sun that brightened my day
Now who’s going to wipe my tears away
If only I knew what I know today
Mother I’m lost without you
Music
أماهُ، أماهُ، يا أمي
(Mother… Mother… O my mother)
واشوقاه الي لقياكِ، يا أمي
(How I long to see O mother)
أمكَ، أمكَ، أمكَ أمكَ
(“Your mother, Your mother, Your mother”)
قول رسولك
(Is the saying of your Prophet)
في قلبي، في حُلُمي
(In my heart, in my dreams)
انتِ معي يا أمي
(You are always with me mother)
رُحتِ و تركتِني
(You went and left me)
يا نور عينيا
(O light of my eyes)
يا أنس ليليا
(O comfort of my nights)
رُحتِ و تركتِني
(You went and left)
من سواكِ يحضنني
(Who, other than you, will embrace me?)
من سواكِ يسترني
(Who, other than you, will cover me?)
من سواكِ يحرسني
(Who, other than you, will guard over me?)
عفوكِ أمي، سامحيني
(Your pardon mother, forgive me)

Mother (Arabic) – Sami Yusuf

Mother (Arabic) – Sami Yusuf
DESCRIPTION:
Composer Sami Yusuf’s mastery of musical languages dazzles in ‘L’Amour Vivant’.
The initial movement unfolds within the intricate geometry of the Baroque style,
a form that was imprinted on the composer’s soul during his upbringing in London
and that remains a cherished inspiration. From the start we hear the subtle
meeting of musical paths in the Arabic baladi rhythm that underlies the graceful melody.
The transition into the second movement transports the listeners to the heart of Sami Yusuf’s
other musical heritage, immersing them in the Central Asian Azerbaijani world.
The third movement revisits the Baroque sound before incorporating
the rich tonalities and nuanced rhythms of the Middle East and Persia,
seamlessly blending them into a sweeping soundscape.
The meditative sounds of the West African kora and the sensuous tones of the Chinese erhu then follow.
The final movement acts as a love letter to the world classical traditions encapsulated here,
skillfully weaving together the myriad emotions experienced throughout this journey in sound.
‘L’Amour Vivant’ is one of Sami Yusuf’s compositions from the second concert of his ‘When Paths Meet’ series.
It features The Sami Yusuf Ensemble, The Scoring Orchestra of Paris, The Métaboles,
and stellar soloists and specialist musicians in a stunning collaboration.
‘L’Amour Vivant’ is classical crossover at its most innovative.
Performed at the Paris Philharmonic.

Muhammad Part 2 (Bonus Track) – Sami Yusuf
The opening sounds of this dramatic new composition by Sami Yusuf carry
the eternal message of wind and stones, with anchoring vocalization by Emin Mammadov.
Shur mugham elements are then introduced through the astonishing voice of Kanan Bayramli.
The sweeping melody conveys the majesty of place and the weight of time.
Rising above the Caspian Sea, Gobustan’s boulders contain six thousand ancient stone carvings,
messages left by our human ancestors over twenty thousand years ago.
They speak to us not just of another time, but of another way of being.
One remarkable feature of Gobustan are its stone drums, an ancient means of communicating
across distance (like a Stone Age text message).
The sound of these stone drums are incorporated into this extraordinary piece.

Written in Bayāt-e Shīrāz mugham, its sweeping melody is inspired by the story of this region

لاجئ ( توزيع موسيقى فقط ) – عمران البقاعي
DESCRIPTION:
Sami Yusuf’s composition ‘Veritas’ premiered at the Holland Festival in Amsterdam
as part of his concert series ‘When Paths Meet’.
From the minimal and ethereal sound of the intro,
it subtly transitions to a sense of awe at the astonishing majesty and multiplicity of creation.
The Persian-influenced musical phrasing of Sami Yusuf’s vocalisations
in the intro are inspired by the Daramad of Avaz-e dashti,
a subgroup of the Shur dastgah, a Persian modal system evocative of a meditative state.
Cappella Amsterdam sings quarter tones here and they do so brilliantly.
The flamenco and Andalusian sounds of the Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra interplay
with Western classical elements and the vibrant Arabic maqam Bayati.
When the mode shifts to the passionate yearning of maqam Nahawand,
its similarity to the Western classical minor scale brings an effortless resonance between the two.
The outro joins Bayati and a harmonic minor scale in a multi-faceted,
fiery expression of multiple, even contradictory states of being,
while the vocalists insist,
‘Veritas’, ‘Veritas’ – Truth, Truth – and cast our focus beneath the turbulent surface storms
to the calm depths below.

The vocal and instrumental drones of this meditative piece in Shustar mugham resonate with echoes of Indian rags
and Middle East maqams. Featuring the vibrant voice of Sami Yusuf, its aim is to immerse the
listener’s spirit in contemplation.
Ateshgah, The Fire Temple, is an 18th century structure in Baku that speaks of the land’s Zoroastrian past.

The vocal and instrumental drones of this meditative piece in Shustar mugham resonate with echoes of Indian rags
and Middle East maqams. Featuring the vibrant voice of Sami Yusuf, its aim is to immerse the
listener’s spirit in contemplation.
Ateshgah, The Fire Temple, is an 18th century structure in Baku that speaks of the land’s Zoroastrian past.
