Misaeel Hajjar - dedicated to Mohsen

[Najib]

Dedicated to my dear friend Mohsen.

I've met Priest Misaeel Hajjar when I was a kid in Homs. He had a voice very roughened by smoking and drinking.

I never heard him in his early days. Hearing this recording makes me realise why my father loved him so much.

Enjoy!

So do I. Thank you very much Najib for this recording. I like very much the deep sober voice and the majesty of the style. I like the melodic path and modulations and I'm amazed by the proximity of this music/chant to the Arab music and chant/recitation (see for instance min. 3' 15" onward, the resemblance with the 'adhan both in terms of melody and vocal technique is remarkable).

This is an amazing recording thank you! Do you know if there are any other recordings from him? Also, do you know which church liturgy is this? it would be great to know
