"Ayman Taisser's Poems as a Pattern for the Temporary Sung Poems

Abstract

The sung poem is the oldest kind of singing. Contemporary great Arabic song composers have always been concerned about it. The most famous ones are Mohamed Abd El Wahab, Al kasabgi and El Sonbati, later El Mogy and others composed for the same form. These compositions have proved to be of great interest to most listeners what so ever their social and educational level is, besides its influence on their human and artistic taste. We cannot also ignore the works of kazem El Saher which attracted the listener's attention. In this period the songs which we can call "commercial songs" have dominated the singing market with its poor words and weak melodies. Despite its role in spoiling the general taste yet, producing artistic companies keep producing a huge amount of them. In the same time they neglect producing songs with great fine artistic values. This makes the composer of these fine songs pay a lot to produce his songs in an attempt to change a painful reality of a decreasing general taste in the Arabic society. Many of Ayman Taisser's songs are full of fine artistic values. These songs attracted the researcher's attention and through her paper she tried to describe his style, this style which fights the poor commercial works and gives a very qualified works.

The paper ended with the results, recommendations and the references used.
