Middle Eastern Mystique With Bright Strings Track

Two and a half minutes of bright, major-key Middle Eastern instrumental music with a firm percussive layer, a busy stringed surface and a wide dynamic range.

For Middle Eastern and North African content, desert and souk footage, historical and archaeological documentary, and travel films. Distinctive enough to establish a setting in the first few seconds.

Two minutes twenty-nine at the same tempo as the Indian instrumental piece just before it, in F major — a key it shares with the romantic Hindi cue later in this album. The busiest track in the entire album by note events.
