maqam book about 200 pieces update

Jono Oud N.Z - 7-16-2011 at 02:25 PM

Hi.
I have put together a collection of many pieces in different maqamat by various composers.
I can arrange to get copies made if anyone is interested.
The book contains many Turkish pieces transposed to Arabic/western keys (Rast=C), as well as pieces by Arabic and other nationalities. There are also some original compositions based on traditional forms like Samai, Longa etc.

Hi Jono Oud- sounds like a real labor of love! I'm definitely interested. Would it be possible to post a copy here of the table of contents/song listing, and perhaps one example of how the songs/maqams are notated? thanks, Matthew

Hi Jono,

I'm very interested as well, sounds ace!

Let me know about details etc.

Best,

Seb

Humbly would love to have.
Electronic format would be great. How about an e-book, say .mobi format for openers? I would love to have it on my Kindle and iPad.

If you want/need to charge for it, and see a market, Amazon will let you keep 70% of gross revenue from many countries, less nominal download costs, if you price it between $2.99 and $9.99, and they handle all the hosting and downloads. A Kindle owner can click Buy on Amazon's web site and it downloads to their Kindle.

But .mobi is also a good format for no charge distribution.

Hi, I'll go for a copy too.
Wonderful.

Jono Oud N.Z - 7-25-2011 at 02:21 PM

Hi.
Wow! :)
I am happy to have so many people interested!
I can get some printed.
The scores are in Arabic 'keys'.
The micro tones are written the standard Arabic way, with the slash through the flats and half-sharp symbol.
Sorry it is not available as an E book.
I will just charge for printing and postage and maybe a few dollars extra, but not much.
I will upload the contents pages.
It is not a commercial book, i have just put it together myself.
It is organised by maqam, it starts with Bb maqamat, then G maqamat, D, C, etc..
Let me know and I will organise printing.

Jono Oud N.Z - 7-26-2011 at 03:36 PM

I have inquired about printing costs at a good print shop this morning.
The books will cost around NZ $35 if people are interested.
The only other charge will be the postage.
The book has been very helpful for me, I have used it on many gigs with my friends who play the riqq and darabukka.

littleseb - 7-27-2011 at 01:17 AM

excellent, i'm well up for it.

do you have an idea how much shipping to the uk would be?

and how would i get the cash to you? paypal?

thanks for your efforts!

Seb

Book distribution

Jono Oud N.Z - 7-31-2011 at 10:20 PM

Hi again.:)
Brian Prunka has kindly offered to help me distribute my book.
I am getting one printed to post to him, and then they will be available through him in the future.

Brian Prunka - 8-2-2011 at 07:16 AM

Jono Oud is sending me a copy, and I'll get some printed. I'll have them on the site for printing costs + shipping. I should be able to do it for about the same cost as what Jono Oud said, I think NZ$35 is about $30US.
Since I already have Paypal and shipping set up (and I'm always shipping stuff anyway), I figured I could make it easier.

bulerias1981 - 8-3-2011 at 10:47 AM

sounds great. this is a must have

Microber - 8-3-2011 at 01:20 PM

Is it possible to have the content of the (future) book?

Thanks

Robert

Hi.
Yes.
Unfortunately I don't have the contents pages on my computer anymore, I completed it a couple of years ago and don't have a scanner.
The book contains many famous pieces as well as lesser known ones.
There are famous pieces by Mohammed Abdel Wahab, Munir and Omar Bashir, Sami Al Shawwa, Tatyos Efendi, Jamil Bey, Dede Efendi and many others. There are also many Iraqi short pieces and some Persian pieces as well as about eight or so original compositions in traditional forms (Bashraf, Samai etc).
There is quite a range of maqamat, from Rast and Bayati to lesser know ones.

Hi.
I will for sure.
It has just been posted to the US recently, so should be there within a week or so.
Thanks for your interest too:)

Jono Oud N.Z - 8-14-2011 at 01:53 PM

Hi.
Just letting people know that the book should arrive in the US any day now. It sometimes takes a while for it to get from NZ to the US, shouldn't be long now though.

Jono Oud N.Z - 9-22-2011 at 07:35 PM

Hi.
The book will be ready soon, around October.
:):cool::wavey:

Also interested. Add another for me please!

Jono Oud N.Z - 10-6-2011 at 01:27 PM

Hi.
The book is almost ready.
Any day now.:)

Microber - 10-6-2011 at 01:39 PM

Hi Jono,

Still no table of content ?

Robert

Jono Oud N.Z - 10-6-2011 at 01:59 PM

Hi.:)
I will see if Brian can scan the contents.
I don't have a scanner.

Brian Prunka - 10-6-2011 at 02:24 PM

The book is now available here:

The Maqam Anthology

A partial table of contents is listed, I will scan the contents pages ASAP and add them. Suffice to say there is a lot of music in this book, and it looks great.

The book is big and a bit heavy.
Shipping in the US should be $5 flat rate priority (you might be able to add a set of strings or two without affecting shipping). If there is a discrepancy, I'll refund the difference --sometimes the shipping calculator is off by a bit.

Amos - 10-6-2011 at 02:34 PM

just ordered my copy...thanks so much for making the happen!

Danielo - 10-6-2011 at 11:45 PM

Me to !

Brian, you will have to reprint some copies soon ;)

regards,

Dan
