“Kan El Zaman W Kan” is a timeless masterpiece composed by the legendary Lebanese duo, the Rahbani Brothers, and sung by the iconic Fairuz. This song captures the essence of nostalgia and longing, themes deeply rooted in Arabic musical traditions.

In my arrangement for classical guitar, I have preserved the delicate beauty of the original melody while adapting it to the expressive possibilities of the instrument. The intricate phrasing, rich harmonies, and subtle ornamentations bring out the soul of the piece, allowing guitarists to experience the depth of Arabic music through a classical approach.

This arrangement is part of my book, “The East Classics: 30 Arabic Songs for Guitar,” a collection dedicated to bringing the beauty of Arabic music to classical guitarists worldwide. Through these arrangements, I aim to bridge cultures and showcase the elegance of Middle Eastern melodies on the guitar.

Enjoy the journey through this enchanting piece, where past and present meet in harmony.
