Fri, 01/27/2012 - 02:57 — Anonymous Arab American composer Mohammed Fairouz
watched the uprising in Tahrir Square on TV a year ago today. As he looked
on, with the volume off, he began composing a piece of music. "Tahrir for
Clarinet and Orchestra," now complete, is "the first movement of what
will eventually become a concerto in three movements," according to a
fascinating report on PRI's The World. You can hear the movement in its
entirety below, but the radio segment is well worth a listen, particularly
Fairouz discussing the various facets of the uprising he was trying to evoke
through the music. World Hum
