Oman’s Renaissance dates from the 23rd of July 1970, when His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said acceded to the throne of his country. From that day, the people of Oman have experienced change, progress, and an improvement in the quality of their lives at a rate un­precedented anywhere in the world in modern times.  The rate of progress has included the cultural life of the Sultanate, and music has been developed to the point where the Omani people have a wide variety of musical styles available for their pleasure. They can participate in them, or enjoy the performance of the professional musicians of the bands and Orchestras of Oman. This is the story so far.
