This is an instrumental waltz based on a song written by the Turkish classical composer Hammamizade İsmail Dede Efendi (1778-1846). I'm playing an arrangement for two mandolins taken from an old Turkish mandolin teaching method book. Thanks to Orkun Hicyilmaz for posting a scan of the score here! To give more bass to the recording, I've doubled the second mandolin part an octave down on mandocello. 1890s Umberto Ceccherini mandolin Mid-Missouri M-0W mandolin Suzuki MC-815 mandocello [mp3=1]http://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=116488&d=1394314174[/mp3] Martin
