One Thousand and One Nights in the late 18th century, the then-teenager was immediately enchanted by the short story collection’s fictional narrator, Scheherazade. Years later, the acclaimed French composer attempted to create an opera revolving around Scheherazade s life. Taking the stories, settings and atmosphere from the page to the stage, however, proved an insurmountable task. What remains of the project is the 1904 three-song cycle, also titled Scheherazade, which comes with lyrics lifted from the poetry of French writer Tristan Klingsor. These works open Fatma Said s debut album, El Nour.
