This is a collection of compositions by Suhail Khoury, arranged by Ahmad Al Khatib. Eight pieces are inspired by the intense experiences of the composer over a period of ten years. Charged with emotions of love and pain, they are marked by the anguish caused by an ongoing occupation that leaves its scars on the core of the individual. Featured in the recording are four Palestinian musicians and four international musicians: Ahmad Al Khatib on oud and buzuq, Ibrahim Atari on qanoun, Heather Bursheh on flute, Youssef Hbeisch on percussion, and Suhail Khoury on Nay and clarinet, Peter Herbert on double-bass, Juergen Kersten on Drums and cellist Nicolas Alstaedt. Recorded in Germany, the CD was launched in March 2010 during the Oriental Music Ensemble's US tour.
