Fakkaruni, Verse 1
Another classic late Umm Kulthum song very popular with dancers (though I've cut out the famous instrumental intro in this analysis as well), but, again, a very rich Tarab composition. The unusual modulation in this verse (#04, #07, #13) practically passes unnoticed because it is set up so well. See the Unique Pathways page for a full discussion.
