In the summer of 1957, she faced an audience in the open for the first time, standing at the base of one of the six columns that comprise the temple of Jupiter in Baalbeck. It was the largest audience that had ever gathered at the Roman temple. Under a crescent moon, Fairuz, flooded with blue light, began to sing in a calm, confident voice, Lubnan Ya Akhdar Hilo (O Green, Beautiful Lebanon). People were spellbound; it was a magical moment. Fairuz the Legand!"Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life", "Music is the language of the spirit", "Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life", "The pause is as important as the note", "Music is the wine that fills the cup of silence", "When words leave off, music begins", "Truly to sing, that is a different breath", "Music is moonlight in the gloomy night of life", "Do you know that our soul is composed of harmony?"

Fairuz the Legand!
