Ottoman Women - life and love in the Harem: Mystic night

Ottoman classical music (Turkish: Türk sanat müziği -- turkish art music or Klasik Türk mûsikîsi -- classical turkish music) developed in Istanbul and major Ottoman towns from Skopje to Cairo, from Tabriz to Morocco through the palace, mosques, and sufi lodges of the Ottoman Empire.[1] Above all a vocal music, Ottoman music traditionally accompanies a solo singer with a small instrumental ensemble. In recent times instruments might include tambur (lute), ney (flute), kemençe (fiddle), keman (Western violin)
