"The Awiss Dance" Opus 1 3, is a piece for solo bass flute, based on the traditional ancient Arabic rhythm called "Al Awiss", that was used in old Arabic tribes to make horses and camels dance by their Arab riders. The rhythm consists of an 1 1 /8 meter that gives the music a moving forward feeling, combined with one of the most expressive Arabic scales (Makamat) called "Saba", that have a sorrowful and dark mood, though suitable sometimes for dance and fast movement. The piece used the bass flute as a melodic instrument to call the ancient Arab world, using some microtonal elements that come from the nature of Arabic makam music, and also used as a percussion instrument to introduce the Awiss rhythm and the camel dance spirit. Starting with a "Mawwal" - a group of small improvised melodic phrases that Arabic singers used to start with it their performances - in which we can hear the flutist sing on the instrument while playing it. Then, moving along to introduce the rhythmic elements using some of the most percussive techniques on flute, and gradually adding the melodic elements, first with half sound half air (resembling the Arabic old instrument "Shabbaba" that is well known for its very breathy sound), then with full sound, in addition to the clear rhythmic accent that keeps the "Awiss" pulse alive.
