About this work
From Sweida to Baroque, in the spirit of Bach
A promise beneath the fig tree… and a melody that stayed in memory. “Wadhkurina”, also known as “Wa‘adtina Taht El Tina”, is a folk song about an awaited rendezvous and a gentle reproach to a beloved; simple words recall the warmth of meeting and the longing for days gone by. From Sweida in southern Syria, a land of solid basalt, grapes and figs, it carries the warmth of encounters, nostalgic memories and simple stories that remain alive in people’s hearts. In the new Melody Pass vision, this melody meets the elegance of Baroque and the spirit of Bach, on an instrumental journey that preserves the song’s warmth and opens a new horizon. Listen to our journey and tell us: whose voice first introduced you to this song? The melody remains. The horizon changes. #MelodyPass #Wadhkurina #WaadtinaTahtElTina #FolkHeritage #BaroqueMusic #BachInspired #InstrumentalMusic
