Majida El Roumi
Many of Darwish's poems were set to music by Arab composers, among them [[Marcel Khalife]], [[Reem Kelani]], [[Majida El Roumi]] and [[Ahmad Qa'abour]]. The most notable are "Rita and the Rifle," "I lost a beautiful dream," "Birds of Galilee," and "I Yearn for my Mother's Bread." They have become anthems for at least two generations of Arabs. In the 1980s, [[Sabreen]], a Palestinian music group in Israel, recorded an album including versions of Darwish's poems "On Man" and "On Wishes."
