Resounding New Possibilities for Performing Ottoman Music: The CMO Editions
Since 2015, the DFG-funded project Corpus Musicae Ottomanicae (CMO) has been establishing a research infrastructure for critical music and text editions of nineteenth-century Ottoman musical sources. These sources include manuscripts in Hampartsum and staff notation, as well as song text collections. At the same time, the project has catalogued a comprehensive body of relevant research data and made it available online and open access.
Now in its 10th year, in collaboration with the Orient-Institut Istanbul (OII), the Istanbul Technical University Turkish Music State Conservatory (ITU TMDK), and the Ottoman Turkish Music Research Group (ITÜ, OTMAG) the CMO for the first time organizes an event that brings together scholars, performers, and students to explore ways to use the CMO critical editions for professional music performances. This event will take place between February 25–26, 2025 and consist of three sessions.
