AN AMERICAN IN ISTANBUL
The Yeni Makam Series of New Works for
Solo Bassoon, Solo Violin, Solo Cello, Clarinet and Percussion Duo

Composed by Edward J Hines

"Like the enticing, amorphous chant, you can imagine being carried through a fog over Asia Minor."-Richie Davis, Greenfield, Massachusetts Recorder

"Thank you for being the only site with original compositions based on Turkish folk songs"-Bridley (Australia)

An American in Istanbul, a classical music recording of The Yeni Makam Series by composer Edward J Hines, is a series of chamber works based on Middle Eastern folk and classical music. This unusual synthesis of Middle Eastern and Western music reflects Hines' 25+ years of research in Middle Eastern music and features four outstanding performances:

•Yeni Makam 1 for solo bassoon, performed by Steve Vacchi
•Yeni Makam 2 for solo violin, performed by Veronica Macchia-Kadlubkiewicz
•Yeni Makam 3 for solo cello, performed by Oreet Ranon
•Yeni Makam 4 duo for clarinet and percussion, Patrick O'Keefe clarinet, Terry Longshore percussion

Complete performer's notes and detailed explanations of the compositional aspects of the Yeni Makam Series can be found at Sozler: The EHM Blog
