EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the musical score of the Ottoman National Anthem, adopted in 1909, marking a significant moment in the history of the Ottoman Empire and later the Republic of Turkey. The anthem, titled "İstiklâl Marşı" or "Independence March," replaced the previous anthem and became a symbol of Turkish nationalism. The image is adorned with the historical emblems of the Ottoman Empire - the crescent and star, proudly displayed at the top of the page. The moon and star, traditional symbols of the Ottoman Empire, add an ethereal touch to the print. The notation below the symbols represents the musical composition of the anthem, with each note meticulously arranged to create the melody. The anthem's lyrics, not depicted in this print, express the longing for independence and sovereignty, reflecting the political and social climate of the time. The Ottoman Empire was undergoing a period of transformation, moving towards a constitutional monarchy and modernization. The adoption of a national anthem was a crucial step in solidifying a sense of national identity and unity among the diverse population. The Ottoman National Anthem was composed by the renowned Turkish composer and musician, Zeki Üngör, and its lyrics were penned by Mehmet Akif Ersoy. The anthem's melody and lyrics continue to resonate with the Turkish people, symbolizing their rich history, cultural heritage, and the spirit of independence. This print is a testament to the historical significance of music in shaping the narrative of nations and empires. It serves as a reminder of the Ottoman Empire's glorious past and the enduring legacy of its cultural contributions.
