Bayati Analyses (p2)

Samai Bayati il-3ariyan

[song page]

01

02

03

04

including notes under tonic; could also parse as Bayati

05

06

could also parse within Bayati 1

07

08

could also call "2nd Ajam 3/6"; tonic is 6, but note span 3-6

09

"Husseini" = emphasis on 5 descent to 4

10

11

a.k.a. "Secondary Ajam 3/6"

12

13

14

emphasis on 5--resolving to 4 in next phrases

15

16

includes baggage underneath 2 & 3

17

18

little bit of bayati at the octave within melody

19

20

21

alternate parse of 08-11: bayati descent from 6

22

23

24

not fully realized until #27--just basically 7 to 8

25

26

27

inclusion of 7 within jins

28

29

30

31

32

33

starts with flat-6 above Nah.; could be parsed as Kurd 8

34

also including Taslim: descent 6 to 1 (like #21)

35

again, an alternate parse--melody contained within #21

36

37

38

descent from 6--a major emphasis in this Samai, and in Bayati

39

Bayati 1 is tonic throughout; melody uses notes from 6 below to 6 above

40

emphasis on 5, tonic is Nahawand 4

41

42

43

44

though it is really only the note "6"

45

includes dip down to 3 under tonic of 4 (also typical)

46

47

48

admittedly, first 3 notes could be parsed as 2nd Ajam 3/6

49

50

51

start of taqsim

52

opening could also be parsed as Ajam 3

53

don't be thrown off by phrase ending a step below tonic

54

55

56

57

bayati octave hinted from start of phrase

58

59

resolution of Husseini within this phrase

60

not very strong--perhaps Nahawand 4 or Ajam 6 are felt more?

61

could make #60 retroactively feel like 2nd Ajam 3/6

62

dips down to 2 & 3

63

"Shuri"--which doesn't appear anywhere in the Samai itself

64

65

66

descent from 6

67

68

69
