This document provides information on traditional musical instruments from Romania. It describes various woodwind and brass instruments that are integral parts of Romanian folk music traditions, including panpipes (nai), flutes (fluier, caval), bagpipes (cimpoi), and alpine horns (bucium). The document discusses the origins and regional variations of these instruments and how they are used to accompany traditional dances and shepherding calls. It also notes the cultural influences from surrounding regions like Turkey and how certain instruments like the panpipes were reintroduced via the Ottoman Empire.
This thesis analyzes 40 Turkish art music songs from 4 randomly selected maqams using fractal dimension. The songs are restricted to the sofyan rhythmic form to check statistical significance. The fractal dimensions of the songs are calculated using two different methods and scattering diagrams. Standard deviation and mean fractal dimensions are also calculated to check the relationship between fractal dimension and maqam. Statistical tests are applied to analyze the results. The study finds that fractal dimension can provide information about the nonlinear dynamical nature of the songs. It also finds that maqams may have distinct fractal dimensions at low resolutions but similar dimensions at high resolutions.

Associação de cultura musical de lousada (4)Baris Ekici
The Associação de Cultura Musical de Lousada was founded in 1975 to manage the Wind Band created in 1855. It oversees the Banda de Música with 58 musicians under 25, the Conservatório do Vale do Sousa music school founded in 1994 which now has 418 students and 40 teachers, and newer groups like the Lousada Big Band formed in 2009 and ballet started in 2005.
Tanburi Cemil Bey was an influential Turkish musician born in 1873 in Istanbul who greatly contributed to the taksim genre of Ottoman classical music. He was a virtuoso of multiple string instruments including the tanbur, kemençe, and lavta. He reformed the playing technique of the tanbur and was also the inventor of the bowed tanbur. Though a sensitive person, he suffered from alcoholism later in life. Many of his compositions were preserved in his recordings.
Münir Nurettin Selçuk was a renowned Turkish classical musician and tenor singer born in 1900 in Istanbul. He studied music in Hungary as a youth before returning to Turkey to become a musician. Selçuk furthered his musical education in Paris in 1927 and later worked at the Istanbul Conservatory, where he served as director for sixteen years. He is remembered as establishing the role of lead singer in Turkish music and for his two musically talented sons before passing away in 1981.
Dede Efendi (1778-1846) was a renowned Turkish composer of classical music who studied under Mehmed Emin Efendi and Ali Nutki Dede. He composed hundreds of songs and Mevlevi rituals, mastering all forms of Turkish music and developing new musical modes. Considered one of Turkey's greatest composers, over 200 of his compositions survive today.
Haci Arif Bey (1831-1885) was a prolific Turkish composer known for şarkı compositions. He studied under Dede Efendi and taught at the Imperial Military Music School. He fell in love with and had children with concubines in the sultan's harem
The document discusses two traditional Turkish musical instruments:
The tambur is a fretted string instrument that is played with a plectrum or bow. It has a semi-spherical wooden body made of strips of wood joined together.
The ney is an end-blown flute that is prominent in Middle Eastern music. It is made of hollow cane or reed with finger and thumb holes. The ney is considered one of the oldest instruments still in use today.
Oud is a pear-shaped stringed instrument used in Middle Eastern music that descended from a common ancestor as the European lute. It is distinguished by its lack of frets and smaller neck. The ancient Turkic peoples had a similar instrument called the kopuz, which was thought to have magical powers and was used in military bands. Today's oud differs from old prototypes and the Turkish oud has a different playing style and shape than the Arabic oud, developed by a Greek luthier in Istanbul in the late 19th century.
The document provides information about the kanun and kemence instruments found in Near Eastern traditional music. The kanun is a zither-like instrument with nylon or PVC strings stretched over a single bridge on fish skins. It is played on the lap by plucking the strings with picks or fingernails and has a range of over three octaves. Turkish kanuns typically have 26 courses of three strings each and levers called mandals that can slightly alter string lengths. The kemence is a pear-shaped lyre played either sitting or standing with the tuning head up using a bow called a doksar.

Turkish cuisine features meat dishes like sarma and dolma, which are vine leaves or cabbage stuffed with a ground meat and rice filling that is cooked. Recipes for sarma and dolma are provided, with instructions to mix the meat and rice filling, stuff it into the leaves, and simmer in a tomato sauce to allow the flavors to blend.
The recipe is for a dish called "The Sultan Liked It". It requires chicken, onions, tomatoes, garlic, spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and saffron. The chicken is cooked with the onions and spices until tender, then tomatoes are added to complete the dish.
Turkish music is a fusion of classical, folk, Ottoman military, Islamic, and Western styles. Classical Turkish music developed from Arabic and Persian traditions and uses maqams (scales) instead of sheet music. Improvisation is central. Turkish music is typically monophonic with 24 unequal intervals. Aksak rhythms characterize folk music. The Janissary bands influenced 18th/19th century European music. After 1923, Turkey modernized under Atatürk's leadership by sending musicians abroad for training, establishing the "Turkish Five" pioneers of polyphonic composition. Today Turkey has state conservatories, orchestras, and festivals that are members of European associations.
