Turkish sheet music

Jonathan - 9-8-2004 at 06:39 AM

Does anybody know if there is a good published book of Turkish sheet music for a lot of the older Turkish folk music? i.e, Hastayim Yasiyorum, Telegrafin Teleri, Cile Bulbulum, etc. I have found quite a bit of the sheet music for the classical/Ottoman music (http://www.neyzen.com/nota_arsivi.htm is pretty incredible), but I have not found much for the folk music. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi guys,

I wish I could help with that, but I don't really have any Turkish folk songs written out. I do have some Greek folk songs in some books, if either of you are interested, which sometimes overlap with Turkish songs.

Sorry couldn't be of more help guys,

Notes of ''Cile bulbulum cile''

Jonathan - 9-12-2004 at 09:20 AM

Thanks, Haluk. I really appreciate it. Two of my favorite songs. My knowledge of Turkish is pretty small, so I love having the lyrics. Most of the time, I have to just keep listening to the records over and over and over again to try to decipher the lyrics. Can I ask you where you got this sheet music? Is it from Türk Mûsikîsi Eserleri 4.0 Repertuar, Nota Arşivi ve Nota Download Programı (YENİ;)? Do you sell that download program? I couldn't quite figure out how to order it, but it looks like it has thousands of Turkish songs on it.
Again, thanks a lot.

ı don't sell that program.I am member of Turk Musikisi Org,I requested that songs and one of the members sent me the notes.I don't know yet,how much will cost to download program but there are too much songs in it.
Regards.

Hi ,I have a couple of books that may be of interest, the auther is Hamdi Tanses, titles: Ozanlarin Dili, (Bektashi Sufi trad songs with notation), and Karadeniz Turkuleri(Black sea Turkish folk songs and notation) available from Say Dagitim Ltd. Sti. Ankara Caddesi No:54 Sirkeci/ Istanbul. I got them from Lark in the Morning, but maybe Haluk could help you out. Cheers

Thanks Brynley-- I will just go through Lark--I am in the USA, so postage will be less. I appreciate the info.

Turkish folk music site

Hi Jonathon,
For Turkish Folk music sheets free try this site - <http://www.turkuler.com/nota/turkuler.asp>.
It is all in Turkish but is fairly easy to navigate.
Good luck,
Bill,

Wow--that is a great site. Anybody that loves Turkish music should check it out. I love the fact that they often include the location of origin of the song--that is just great.
Also, Haluk, thanks again. I ended up joining Turk Musikisi Org as well, and saw your message. You are a class act to go out of your way like that. My Turkish is pretty limited, but again, thanks a lot.
