about this song
Sulaima is based on an old Syrian love poem. The melody, considered with or without the words, is a song of the heart: as simple, concise, and appealing as the thought in the lines from which it was inspired. The accompaniment is enhancing and enriching the effect of the melody. The vigorous central section provides an abrupt contrast, but the return of the opening ensures that this chant ends in a mood of ethereal tranquility. It sings the love of a deep, strong but well-poised nature.
