Dozan World's Human Voices collection brings together vocal sheet music rooted in the Levant and the wider Middle East. The catalog includes solo and choral works by composers such as Shireen Abu Khader, Nahla Matar, and Safana Bakleh, spanning sacred hymns, secular folk arrangements, and contemporary compositions. Every piece in this collection is built around the human voice, whether performed by a single soloist or a full choir, and each score is transcribed to reflect the ornamentation and modal character of Arabic and Middle Eastern vocal traditions.
Human voices carry music in a way no instrument can replicate, and this collection is organized to make that repertoire accessible to musicians at every level. Our library serves choir directors, vocal soloists, music educators, and students who want authentic, well-researched Middle Eastern vocal music, not simplified arrangements written for a general audience.
Solo Vocal Music. Our vocal solo sheet music is written for soloists ready to take on repertoire outside the standard Western canon. Pieces range from soprano and mezzo-soprano works with piano accompaniment to arrangements for soloist with full ensemble, giving performers a range of options depending on their setting and skill level.
Choral Music. Our choral music covers multiple voicings, including SATB, SSAA, SAB, TTBB, and other divisi arrangements, so choirs of different sizes and configurations can find material suited to their group. This includes both small vocal ensembles and larger choral programs looking to diversify their repertoire beyond standard European works.
Sacred and Secular Repertoire. Our collection includes both sacred choral works and secular pieces drawn from Levantine folk traditions and contemporary Arabic poetry, giving choirs material suited to religious services as well as concert and community programs.
Cross-Cultural Voices. Music is one of the clearest ways different cultures speak to one another, and human voices carry that exchange directly. Our collection draws from multiple regional traditions, including Levantine folk music, Byzantine and Syriac sacred forms, and contemporary Arabic compositions, giving vocalists a genuine cross-cultural repertoire rather than a single narrow style. For more on how this tradition works, our guide to Arabic sheet music covers the maqam system and notation in more depth.
Vocal Innovations and Modern Voices.Alongside traditional repertoire, our catalog includes contemporary vocal works from composers writing new music within Middle Eastern and Arabic traditions. These pieces sit next to historical and folkloric material, giving performers a full picture of where this repertoire has been and where it continues to grow.
Our transcriptions go beyond basic notation. Each score accounts for transliteration, performance guidance, and the historical and cultural background behind the piece. This matters especially for Arabic vocal music, where ornamentation, microtonal inflection, and the maqam system carry meaning that standard Western notation does not automatically capture. Readers new to this system may find our guide to learning Arabic singing useful as a starting point. Our transcription process is built to preserve that detail, so performers can approach these works with an understanding of both the notes and the tradition behind them.
Dozan World is one of the few publishers focused specifically on Arabic and Middle Eastern sheet music, rather than treating it as a small addition to a broader Western catalog. That focus shapes everything from how we select repertoire to how we transcribe it. You can browse our full range of collections on the Our Collections page.
Our transcribers are trained specifically in Arabic vocal technique and Middle Eastern composition, not general Western notation applied to non-Western music. That background lets them capture ornamentation, rhythm, and modal detail with the accuracy performers need to interpret a piece correctly, rather than relying on approximation.
Every score in this collection is available as an instant digital download. Once your purchase is complete, the sheet music is ready to use right away, with no shipping wait and no physical inventory to manage for choir directors working on a schedule.
If you have found a piece that fits your program but the existing arrangement does not match your group's voicing or skill level, our custom transcription service can adapt it. Contact us to discuss a custom arrangement for your ensemble.
New pieces and arrangements are added to this collection on an ongoing basis. Our composers and transcribers continue to expand the catalog, giving educators and performers new material to work with as it becomes available, rather than a static library that stops growing after publication.
Dozan World's Human Voices collection gives soloists, choir directors, and educators a dependable source for Arabic and Middle Eastern vocal sheet music, backed by transcription work grounded in the maqam tradition and led by founder Dr. Shireen Abu Khader, whose academic background spans Oberlin College Conservatory, the University of Southern California, and the University of Toronto. Browse the collection to find the right piece for your next solo performance or choral program. Common questions about our catalog are answered on our FAQ page.
