And here’s another song to have a listen to: the madrigal, Zefiro Torna, written in the 1500s by Claudio Monteverdi. There’s a particularly good version of it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zq49rymjvNg. Not only is the performance great, but the arrangement - with bass lutes, guitar, bass, dulcimer, harpsichord, violin, and cornetto, as well as tonbek and riq, gives us some ideas for how to arrange it for ETO instrumentation. ..... flute and violin or viola and violin would work nicely as substitutes for the soprano and countertenor. Plus, there are great cross-rhythms in this piece as well (and some nice ostinato lines for bass and oud). | |||

Here is the lyrics and the translation for the chorus part of the song “Ay Hairathe” (Shruti)
Dum dara dum dara chashm chashme-nam
chashme-nam refers to teary eyes : (Addressing an emotional person)
Dum dara dum dara chashm chashme-nam
chashme-nam refers to teary eyes : (Addressing an emotional person)
Sun mere hum dum
Listen my beloved
Hamesha ishq mein hi jeena
Always live in love (Always be in love)
Lead Lyrics:
Ay Hairathe Aashiqui.. jagaa Math - Oh pristine love,don't ever wake up Pairon se zameen zameen lagaa Math - Don't ever let your feet touch the ground (Don't ever come back to reality)

Martha: Here’s another song for ETO to consider at some point: Naguye Nei by Paul Nabor, a venerated Garifuna singer from Belize. This is a paranda which implies a particular rhythm on the pimero and segundo drums (an example here, of a traditional paranda where you can hear and see the percussion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rBEywJ5NAc ). In Nabor’s song, the guitar follows the primero rhythm as well. The song is a very sad one, but many people might not think so because of the seemingly upbeat sound of it. Recording, lyrics, and English translation are here: http://www.warasadrumschool.com/naguya-nei/ . I chose this particular one since it includes not only drumming and singing, but guitar and harmonies and hence is more inclusive of the entire ETO.
And here’s another song to have a listen to: the madrigal, Zefiro Torna, written in the 1500s by Claudio Monteverdi. There’s a particularly good version of it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zq49rymjvNg. Not only is the performance great, but the arrangement - with bass lutes, guitar, bass, dulcimer, harpsichord, violin, and cornetto, as well as tonbek and riq, gives us some ideas for how to arrange it for ETO instrumentation. ..... flute and violin or viola and violin would work nicely as substitutes for the soprano and countertenor. Plus, there are great cross-rhythms in this piece as well (and some nice ostinato lines for bass and oud).
