Due to the overwhelming number of requests I have received, I have decided to put up the song Untukmu Malaysia/Baktiku Hanya Untukmu in a minus sax version for download. And yes, it's free... I apologise for not being able to produce a score as I played the song by ear the whole way through (not to mention a spontaneous solo) but you should be able to get the cues from the video clip! Thank you for all your kind comments and I will do better the next time round as well as creating more play-along tracks and videos for your viewing/playing/listening/profiteering/leeching/illegally selling pleasure. Feel free to post comments or even a video response of your own playing and have fun! Here's the link; http://rapidshare.com/files/295580032/Untukmu.mp3

This is a musical tribute to our nation and its people. The song "Untukmu Malaysia", sometimes called "Baktiku Hanya Untukmu", is a Malaysian patriotic song composed during the early 90s. This instrumental recording of this beautiful tune is performed and arranged by multi-instrumentalist Eizaz Azhar on all instruments. Here are the lyrics to sing along;

Verse 1 Padamu Malaysiaku berjanji, Padamu ku akan mengabdi, Seluruh jiwa dan raga ku serahkan, Demi kejayaan bangsa Verse 2 Aman, makmur, damai, sejahtera, Akan ku junjung dan ku jaga, Bersatu rela jujur setia, Membela bangsa tercinta Chorus Syukur selalu kepada ilahi, Atas segala rahmatNya, Malaysiaku negara maju jaya, Baktiku hanya untukmu Repeat Verse 2 & Chorus to end

Clockwise from top; alto saxophone, percussion, drumkit, electric guitar, electric bass and digital piano-Recorded in ER Studios, arrangement by Eizaz Azhar. Video & lighting by Ray Lee. Mixed and edited by Eizaz Azhar. For best listening results play video on large external speakers or a good pair of headphones as laptop speakers are unable to reproduce many of the frequencies.

Liebesfreud (Love's Joy) by the Austrian composer Fritz Kreisler. Performed by Igor Palchikov and Eizaz Azhar in a contemporary arrangement. Recorded in ER Studios. Igor Palchikov: Violin & Arrangement / Eizaz Azhar: Bass, Guitar, Drums.
