Salat
Babilya was inspired by
music from Iraq, in
particular the beautiful
sonorities of the oud, a
variety of Middle Eastern
lute dating back to
antiquity. An oud-like
resonance is evoked
without the use of a bow
via a combination of
'arabic' scales, open
strings, ringing
harmonics and ornamental
inflections.The
particular oud piece that
inspired this one was
written to help lull the
children of Bagdad to
sleep during bombing
raids and bears the same
title, which translates
from the Arabic as
'Babylonian Prayer. (Zoe
Martlew).
