I have been working on Longa Sabbough and would like to learn some others. My record collection is seriously lacking for Longas so can anyone
reccomend some good ones and, if possible, direct me to sheets or recordings if you have them.
Thanks guys this is greatJonathan - 7-29-2006 at 05:54 PM
Nihavend Longa by Tatteos is pretty much a standard.jshead - 7-30-2006 at 07:17 AM

Thanks jshead I would appreciate it. I'm working on Nihavend Longa right now. The notes aren't too hard but, as always, making it beautiful is the
problem hehemourad_X - 7-31-2006 at 02:27 AM

Lots of great ideas here thanks guys. Maybe I'll start threads for some other forms so we can share sheets of our favorites.
I've worked on Longa Farahfaza, it's probably one of my favorite oud pieces. You should post the sheet here so everyone can see itcihan - 8-3-2006 at 01:28 AM
Here are my recommendations:
1-Refik Fersan's Sultaniyegah Sirto (my childhood favorite)
2-Sadi Isilay's Sultaniyegah Sirto
3-Kevser Hanim's Nihavend Longa
4-Santuri Ethem Efendi's Sehnaz Longa
5- Sukru Tunar's Hicaz Oyun Havasi
You can access the sheets to all of these pieces at turkmusikisi.com. Click on "Nota Arsivi" (it's written with small fonts in the middle, the big
banner on the top takes you to another site), then click on Longas etc.
You can make midis of these by putting the sheet music on "nota" software where you can get for free at hamparsum.net. nota is the best sotware I
could find on the internet to write Turkish music on the computer. And it is free thanks to the developer.cihan - 8-3-2006 at 01:39 AM
By the way, if you want to learn longas and sirtos, you may want to purchase Turkish master kanun player Goksel Baktagir's Longalar and Sirtolar CD.
He, Yurdal Tokcan and other fine musicians are playing in that CD the most of the pieces we are talking about here.palestine48 - 8-3-2006 at 03:21 PM
im sorry for my ignorance but can someone explain to me what a longa is?jshead - 8-3-2006 at 08:48 PM
