#3267: Istanbul, not Constantinople
Listen to a tour of the eastern part of the Mediterranean on this New Sounds. We'll journey through a thousand years of the music that resounded along the mighty Bosphorus in Istanbul, Turkey (not Constantinople) from the 14th/15th Century Greek chant to Crusader songs, Sufi Ceremonial music, Turkish folk music, Sephardic Jwish songs, and more.
It’s all from an impressive collection of music, “A Story of the City...Constantinople, Istanbul” featuring Boston-based musicians’ collective DÜNYA, with Schola Cantorum and Ensemble Trinitas. Plus, we’ll hear from the like-minded record from Jordi Savall, “Jerusalem,” another important citiy that has experienced huge musical and cultural changes over the centuries.
