Media Reviews
"Like the enticing, amorphous chant, you can imagine being carried through a fog over Asia Minor." "-Richie Davis, Greenfield, Massachusetts Recorder
"I recommend it to you for its variety of new timbres and sonorities."-Ronald Klimko, The Double Reed
"Yeni Makam 1 for solo bassoon was a striking departure from the typical recital fare....the impressionistic piece employs ancient Turkish modes, some utilizing intervals smaller than a half-step, to create some startlingly modern sounds."-Chris Shull, The Wichita Eagle
"Very exotic, colorful, challenging."-The Double Reed
"Occassionally one can find music that isolates one technique so as to facilitate concentrating on it...Each (movement) is written in a different scale derived from Turkish folk music and containing one or more microtonally altered notes. The music itself is relatively simple and so the novel pitches are thrown into high relief." -STRINGS Magazine
"This is an excellent collection and is worthy of consideration for those wishing to add an international flavor to a recital or chamber music program."-Percussive Notes
