Music knows no barriers and is often the first cultural export from any land. The same is true for Middle Eastern music, which has mesmerized people globally. The timeless melodies and the hypnotic rhythms have traveled distances, sometimes through traders and early visitors to this region. With the advent of the Internet, Middle Eastern music has found a large audience everywhere, from the concert halls in Europe to music schools in North America. Once accessible to only a lucky few, instrumental music from this region can be heard everywhere and has also made its way into pop culture.
At Dozan World, we are proud to play a small yet powerful role in spreading the musical treasures of this region through instrumental sheet music, arrangements, and choir music. As interest in the music from this region grows, we are on a mission to honor the heritage and preserve the cultural richness. We work with independent composers and arrangers to promote it with composition, arrangements, recording, and documentation. From music schools to conductors and researchers, we have built a strong base of loyal patrons who support our cause for spreading this music to the world and bringing joy to many.
One of the reasons behind the growing fascination with Middle Eastern music is its cultural heritage. Unlike music in other parts of the world, which often owes its roots to a single source, music in the Middle East amalgamates several cultures, regions, and people. It has a rich history dating back thousands of years, with cultural exchange and spiritual traditions playing an important role in shaping the sounds and the rhythms.
It borrows influence from diverse cultural influences, including Arabic, Persian, Turkish, and North African traditions. These cultures have contributed to the distinct sounds that characterize Middle Eastern instrumental music. Over time, these influences merged and evolved, creating soothing melodies and beautiful rhythms. You will notice these subtle cultural elements as you hone your skills with our instrumental sheet music.
While music researchers have always been fascinated with the traditional instruments in the region that created unique melodies, it was a limiting factor for the masses. Today, we are bridging the cultural game with our arrangements that allow you to learn and play these on your piano and other instruments you are familiar with. This contemporary fusion of the East and the West has propelled Middle Eastern instrumental music into the global spotlight. Our passionate independent artists breathe new life into traditional forms, making this music easily accessible while preserving the ancient melodies.
Apart from its cultural richness, the ability to tell stories attracts people to instrumental sheet music. Listen carefully to the intricate melodies and improvisational phrases, and you will immediately understand the emotions they convey. Instrumental music transcends language barriers and can express emotions ranging from deep sorrow to ecstatic joy. Look at our instrumental sheet music to find something for every mood.
We have built a rich repository of instrumental sheet music that connects with people from all backgrounds. So, we have the Bagatelle for Clarinet flute piano dedicated to the soul of a friend, Ana Albi Dalili, by Mohammad al Qasabji, talking about love or the Ritha’ Li Gaza that calls out the crime against humanity. This wordless storytelling is one reason global audiences are so captivated by instrumental music from the Middle East that offers a timeless and immersive experience that speaks directly to the soul.
We are committed to preserving and sharing this extraordinary musical legacy with the world. Our collection of meticulously arranged music sheets and education initiatives let you join this fascination for Middle Eastern instrumentals. Explore our collection and join our fast-growing family.
