For centuries, music has been a powerful vessel for storytelling, cultural identity, and human connection. At Dozan World, we celebrate the legacy of secular choral music, bringing together traditional folk melodies, poetic songs, and contemporary compositions that capture the essence of Middle Eastern history and life.
From the ancient trade routes of the Silk Road, where melodies traveled across civilizations, to the rich Andalusian traditions that flourished in the Arab world, secular choral works have shaped the region’s musical heritage. These songs tell stories of love, nature, migration, and the everyday joys and struggles of communities across the Middle East.
A Living Archive of Middle Eastern Choral Music
Our collection embraces the diverse traditions of Arabic, Persian, Turkish, and Armenian vocal music, highlighting the artistic expressions that have shaped this culturally rich land. From the poetic verses of ancient folk songs, passed down through oral tradition for over 4,000 years, to modern choral adaptations, our repertoire bridges the past and present.
We take pride in reviving and preserving secular choral works that might otherwise fade into history. Through meticulously curated traditional and contemporary arrangements, we ensure that these melodies continue to resonate with today’s audiences while staying true to their roots.
The Intersection of Heritage and Innovation
While deeply rooted in history, our secular choral music embraces innovation. Many of our works are arranged in a way that blends ancient melodies with new harmonies, allowing choirs worldwide to experience the richness of Middle Eastern music in a fresh, engaging way.
From folk-inspired songs to Andalusian Arabic melodies, our collection spans classical, contemporary, and regional influences—each piece carrying a unique cultural imprint. This approach not only preserves the authenticity of traditional choral music but also pushes the boundaries of modern choral composition, making these works relevant for the 21st-century performer.
A Timeless Celebration of Music
Our mission is to ensure that the secular vocal traditions of the Middle East remain accessible to future generations. Whether you are a researcher, a choir director, or a passionate musician, our collection offers an unparalleled resource for exploring the beauty of non-religious choral music.
