The traditional ude |
The Band of the Royal Air Force of Oman (RAFO) is already featured on this website and the RAFO Arabic Music Group is also linked, having travelled to England and performed a lunchtime concert in the RAF’s official church, St Clement Danes in London’s Strand. During the same week, they performed two concerts at the British Museum where they also gave live musical examples during a lecture on the traditional music of Oman.
The Development of Arabic and Western Music is a text-book written for students in the RAFO School of Music. It details the history of the two cultures, compares them, and explains why each can sound strange, even out of tune, to the other.
