Letters from Iraq: Oud & String Quintet

Letters from Iraq: Oud & String Quintet
- Shrink-wrapped
Letters from Iraq expresses the love and pain of lives lived by the people of war-torn Iraq. Actual mailed letters and their stories are transposed into eight gripping programmatic compositions by Iraqi-American composer and oud player, Rahim AlHaj with string quintet (2 violins, viola, cello, contrabass) and percussion. He says, â€œMusic can make us laugh, make us cry, make us march into war. I want to make music to make us realize peace.â€ These recordings are of deep emotion and great beauty, melding mastery of Iraqi and Western classical genres alike to form something entirely new. 70 minutes, 40-page booklet with bilingual notes in English and Arabic.
