Malek Jandali, the renowned Syrian-American composer and pianist, gave a
breathtaking performance of his work based on ancient Mesopotamian
musical notes entitled "Echoes of Ugarit" at the ATFP 10th Anniversary
Gala. He also performed several other of his noted compositions. He was
accompanied on 'oud by Prof. Abdulrahim Alsiadi.
"Can you imagine the world today without letters or without music?" Jandali asked, saying how proud he was that alphabet and the musical notations were invented in Mesopotamian civilization. "Imagine people, in 3000 B.C., singing to this melody, on the Mediterranean coast of Mesopotamia," he added.
