Moroccan Vocal Phrases is a phrase library sung by Nadia Kaawad — over 580 live-performed phrases organised into 9 full themes and 2 bonus themes.

Every theme was recorded in 4 different keys, so moving one to another key asks for little pitch shifting, and the field says the musical material stays the same across all of them.

At a Glance

  • Over 580 phrases the field’s own figure, and it says “over”
  • 9 full themes, 2 bonus each theme with its own style and its own set of phrases
  • 4 keys per theme recorded rather than stretched, for playing in all chromatic keys
  • Six styles named Malhun, Gnawa, Andalusian (Al-Ala), Chaabi, Amazigh (Berber) and Aita; the field says “such as”, so the list is open
  • 15 phrases per theme plus 2 brief endings, split by the field into 5 separate starting, middle and end phrases
  • Full Kontakt required the free Kontakt Player runs this one in demo mode only

Recording a theme in four keys instead of pitching one is a decision about the voice. A shifted vocal gives itself away quickly; four recorded keys is the vendor’s answer to that, and the field says the musical material stays consistent across all four.
