Note
“Fi Qahwih Al Mafraq” is a captivating song composed by the legendary Rahbani Brothers and performed by the iconic Fairuz. With its evocative melody and poetic storytelling, the piece paints a vivid picture of nostalgia and quiet reflection, making it a treasured gem in Arabic music.
In this solo piano arrangement, I have sought to preserve the song’s lyrical beauty while utilizing the instrument’s dynamic and expressive range. The flowing lines and rich harmonies bring out the depth of the original composition, while the piano’s resonance enhances the song’s emotional atmosphere. Subtle ornamentation and phrasing capture the essence of Arabic musical expression, allowing the piece to shine in a new and intimate way.
This adaptation offers pianists the opportunity to experience the elegance of “Fi Qahwih Al Mafraq” through a fresh interpretation while staying true to its timeless charm.
