يا قلبي غني

Classic Egyptian tarab ballad with slow maqam phrasing, lifted string swell into each chorus, qanun and nay answering the lead, verse lines spacious and poetic, pre-chorus rising with melismatic held notes, chorus landing on a memorable chantable refrain; intimate solo vocal in verses, warm doubled harmonies on key words, ornamental ad-libs and tasteful crowd-style responses in the final refrain; oud flourish transitions, string glissandos, and a bright, dramatic, vintage-leaning mix
