THE OUD, SULTANIA AND SAROD 

“H. Aram Gulezyan's mastery of the OUD, the SULTANIA, 

and the SAROD of India provide for a superb and captivating 

Album of tonal pleasure. In 1952 Gulezyan was invited by 

Prime Minister Mohamed Naguib of Egypt to lecture and 

perform in recitals, the compositions contained in this Album. 

The inherent sensitivity of this artist and his unique sophisti¬ 

cated techniques produce music of poetic beauty. LYRI- 

CHORD furnishes connoisseurs the sought for new sounds of 

the OUD, the SULTANIA and the SAROD. The Album re¬ 

presents an interesting study in contrasts produced on the 

instruments, for the serious critic. The luxuriant tones are 

not sacrificed to pounding rhythms usual to most Near East 

ensembles. Gulezyan excels in retaining the basic spirit of the 

instruments, avoiding violent vibrations which would destroy 

the emotional qualities. 

Heretofore, the music of the OUD, SULTANIA and the SAROD 

have been generally melodic by reason of the tuning, not 

permitting of chords or harmony. Yet, Gulezyan’s performance 

of “ALGERIA” and other familiar compositions, attest to 

his masterful technique, producing pleasant harmonies, with¬ 

out change in the historic and original tuning of the instru¬ 

ments in 4ths of A, D, G, C and lower octave bass string, G. As 

a result, Gulezyan furnishes a more accurate reputation for 

the OUD, the SULTANIA and the SAROD, in that they are 

more than “purely melodic” instruments.” 

H. ARAM GULEZYAN 

THE OUD 

The UD, er OUD as it is now known, came into existence around 

524 A.D. in IRAQ. It made entry to the Arab countries, then 

spread westward to Algeria, and around the 9th century came 

into Spain with the Moorish invasion and made its 

influence on the continent of Europe. The OUD was referred 

to as the Queen of instruments, and to this day is the classical 

instrument of the Near East. The music is based on a mode 

(Maqam) and the Taksime, with intricate improvisations and 

tone styles. The music is always individual; always human and 

emotional. Earlier, the lack of harmony was noticeable to the 

listener. Later, even the most uninitiated listener recognized 

within the melodies, the subtle and gliding microtones and the 

poetic beauty of the Oud tones. 

THE SULTANIA 

The Sultania is somewhat similar to the Oud in size and shape, 

but is strung with wire. 

THE SAROD 

Since time immemorial in India, the Vina occupies the first 

place among the large variety of stringed instruments. One 

kind of Vina is the SAROD. Claimed to be older than the 

Sitar, the Sarod produces mild, subtle, shimmering and gliding 

music. The long stem of the Sarod, narrowing upwards is flat 

and has no frets over it and in appearance is similar to the 

Sitar. 

EXOTIC MUSIC FOR THE OUD 

SULTANIA AND SAROD 

MUSIC OF THE NEAR & MIDDLE EAST 

SIDE 1. 

1. “BAYATY” — “Jannig Dance” 

Oud and Drum (Dombag) 

The Oud introduction is from an ancient mode, followed by 

a lilting and rhythmic melody. 

2. “ISTANBUL” 

Ensemble, with Oud. 

The composition is indigenous to Turkey and is illustra¬ 

tive of modern music trends in Turkey. 

3. “BIR ISEE” 

Ensemble, Oud & Sultania 

The selection is typical of Turkish love songs, the title 

meaning ‘You Are The One For Me’. 

Lyrichord 

4. “CEFTI TELLI" 

Ensemble, with Oud. 

This is an age-old melody and is primarily a dance composi¬ 

tion throughout the Near East, played in a slow, restrained 

tempo. 

5. “LEILA” 

Ensemble, with Oud. 

This romantic and gay melody is indigenous to the Arab 

countries. 

SIDE 2. 

1. “OUD IMPROVISATION” 

Oud solo. 

The improvisation is typical of the age-old Maqam and 

Taksim modes. 

2. “ENGLISH BALLAD — Rippling Brook” 

Oud solo. 

The selection is included in this Album for the purpose of 

providing an idea of the variety of chords and harmonies 

produced by Gulezyan on the OUD. This Artist shows that 

the OUD is not a ‘purely melodic' instrument. It corrects 

the historic note which has referred to the Oud as limited 

to performance of melody, only. 

3. “COUNTRY GARDENS” 

Oud solo. 

An additional selection for the same purpose of providing 

a composition familiar to Western ears and arranged for the 

OUD by Gulezyan. 

4. “ALGERIA” 

Oud & Guitar. 

This composition is an arrangement for the Oud, by 

Gulezyan. It contains excerpts and passages of Spanish 

and Moorish works and influences, when after the 9th 

century, the OUD spread westward from Iraq and came 

into Spain with the Moorish invasion. It is included in this 

Album to provide proof of chords and harmonies possible 

on the OUD by Gulezyan, without change from its historic 

tuning in the 4ths of A, D, G, C. 

5. “DANCE KARTIKEYYA” 

Sarod of India 

This is an ancient Raga dedicated to the son of Shiva, a 

god of beauty, regarded and proclaimed as a courageous 

warrior. In India, the raga is performed by an ensemble of 

flutes, bells, gongs, horns, counch shells and water filled 

porcelain bowls. 

Dance Kartikeyya is a delightful and appealing rendition 

of Raga Malkauns, performed on the SAROD by 

Gulezyan. 

6. “SULTANIA SAMAHI” 

Sultania Solo. 

SAMAHI, or “music to the heavens” is performed at the end 

of day, eventide. The mode ‘BHAKTA’ is indigeneous 

throughout the Near and Middle East. Performed during a 

state of meditation and prayer, the melodic structure is 

inherently sad, evidencing a feeling of repentance and tears, 

and of a soul that is sorrowful, seeking forgiveness and 

beseeching God’s blessing. 

7. “RAGA BEHAG” 

Sarod. The Raga is performed in Teental Rhythm for the 

glamorously costumed dances. Gulezyan on the Sarod. 

Produced by Josh Israel son 

Engineer: John Diana 

Audio: Design Recording Studio, Tucson 

Performed in Teental 

Rhythm by Gulezyan.
