{"product_id":"the-ottoman-tanbur-hans-de-zeeuw-9781803271064","title":"The Ottoman Tanbur: The Long-Necked Lute of Ottoman Art Music","description":"\u003ci\u003eThe Ottoman Tanbur \u003c\/i\u003eprovides a detailed study of the history of this long-necked lute-like instrument, its role in Ottoman music, construction and playing technique.\u003ci\u003eTanburs\u003c\/i\u003e are played in the art, Sufi, and folk musical traditions along the Silk Road and beyond. In Turkey, the name \u003ci\u003etanbur\u003c\/i\u003e is mainly used as a name for the long-necked \u003ci\u003etanbur\u003c\/i\u003e of Ottoman art music, the Ottoman \u003ci\u003etanbur\u003c\/i\u003e. The origin and early development of the Ottoman \u003ci\u003etanbur\u003c\/i\u003e is, notwithstanding its importance, still not fully understood due to the absence or scarcity of literary and iconographical sources, while well-preserved Ottoman \u003ci\u003etanburs\u003c\/i\u003e are rare or non-existent. The book explores the political and cultural-historical conditions that contributed to the development of a distinct Ottoman Art music \u003ci\u003e(Osmanli san'at musikisi)\u003c\/i\u003e in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and the central place given to the \u003ci\u003etanbur\u003c\/i\u003e. Thereafter, Ottoman art music and the Ottoman \u003ci\u003etanbur\u003c\/i\u003e suffered from official neglect until the end of the Ottoman Empire in 1918 and even rejection after the establishment of the Republic of Turkey in 1923. This situation changed after the foundation of the first Turkish music conservatory in 1975 at the Istanbul Teknik Universitesi (ITU). The revival of Ottoman art music since the 1990s resulted in a rehabilitation of Ottoman art music and of the Ottoman \u003ci\u003etanbur\u003c\/i\u003e whose days had seemed to be numbered.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hans de Zeeuw\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 180327106X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781803271064\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Archaeopress Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/09\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 6.70w x 0.30d","brand":"Hans de Zeeuw","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49097078341887,"sku":"9781803271064","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-ottoman-tanbur-hans-de-zeeuw-9781803271064","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
