12-31-22 Pushing The Envelope: Music Decidedly Left of Center - ”Turkish Delight”

Greetings!

The selection of the works making up a majority of today's program were inspired by my recent trip to Turkey.  You'll get a bit of a history lesson in how traditional Turkish music was integrated with Western music in the early 20th century following the Turkish War of Independence which ended in 1923 and the establishment of the Republic of Turkey which followed.  In addition, I've got some new releases thrown in for good measure.

Enjoy!

Joel
