DESCRIPTION:
A song about the people and for the people of Oman.

Since I composed this song all those summers ago, I have had an amazing musical journey with so many wonderful musicians, friends and students. The journey has seen me realise this final recording that is even better than I could have dreamed of. But there were many others on the way who were so supportive in earlier performances of this song.

My heartfelt thanks goes out to the students, staff and parents at The Sultan's School Seeb, for giving the song its world premiere. I will never forget hearing the hearty voices of our entire primary and middle school students, ably accompanied by the rock band and introduced by Samih Mahjoubi on Oud, to give a rendition that moved the staff and parents to tears.

I would also like to thank ABA - An IB World School for their wonderful performances of Oman is Home to Me at school as well as the recording.

Finally to the Muscat Combined Schools Choir, that saw the ABA Secondary Choir join forces with the choirs of the Indian School Muscat (directed by Savio D'Souza) and the British School Muscat (directed by Adrian Clifford) to perform a rousing rendition that was so ably accompanied by Idris Al Balushi, Nibras Al Mullahi, Khaled Al Rahbi, The Horus Duo and the Abouzahra sisters Amira and Mariam for a spectacular public performance that had the audience give it a standing ovation.

To the audiences of parents, musicians and friends who came to support all these performances, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

You have all inspired me to compose this song that celebrates Oman, that is home to us all!
