The Michigan Arab Orchestra Takht Ensemble (MAOTE) is a classical Arab music chamber ensemble comprised of instruments such as: 'oud (Arab Lute), qanun (Arab zither), nay (Arab reed flute), Violin, Bass, and percussion. Established in April 2010, the MAOTE includes musicians form the greater Detroit community; and performs classical and contemporary Arab music otherwise known as tarab music. Tarab music is characterized by its melodic modes known as maqāmāt (sing. maqām) and complex rhythmic modes (iqā'at). It is also distinguished by the art of improvisation, or taqāsim, during which a musician outlines a melodic mode and/or modulates to other related modes. The audience plays an extremely important role in tarab music, since listeners (sami'ah) will often respond with applause during and after a musician's improvised solos.

[@oudman586]

yes, I actually created quarter tone fingerings for the bassoon!

[@nassernadim9948]

to whom it concerns, a quarter tone on the Nay, first created novelly by ibrahim Michael, is that tone which makes tears run off your eyes when listening to the whole performance.

[@rezaqarai6493]

[@ay571]

This is great. I am currently working on a research paper on the nay, would it be possible to get some more information on this piece, on its musical structure, style and mode/scale. Any information on this piece really would be of great help. Thank you and keep up the beautiful work.

[@ay571]
