Description

Kara Toprak

Arrangement for two pianos by Yudum Çetiner und Selin ?ekeranber (2013)

score (also performance score) - 2 performance scores included - 2 pianos

Black Earth was inspired by Kara Toprak, a popular song in Turkey. The composer of the song, A??k Veysel, was the last great Turkish balladeer. Faz?l Say imitates the sound of the saz, a Turkish lute, through his selection of a muted effect in the Introduction and Epilogue. In contrast, folklore, Romantic piano style and jazz are entwined in the central sections to form a large-scale outburst. Now also available in an arrangement for two pianos.
