2010New English Paperback. Pbo. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In English. 164 p. For over three decades I had the opportunity to research on Ottoman musical writings in the Turkish libraries and to consult private collections. Concurrently, I was able to study Ottoman musical manuscripts kept in libraries outside Turkey. Along those years of research I carried out persistent investigations that gave me access to a large number of Ottoman materials ranging from the fifteenth century to the end of the nineteenth century. As a result of examining numerous musical manuscripts in Ottoman Turkish literature I discerned the commonplace of themes in the majority of writings and evaluated their structure at formal and generative level. Moreover, I was able to ascertain the significant purport of certain sources over others and to compare several versions of the texts. The idea of this catalogue evolved gradually in my mind from the perception that an explicit presentation of the makams would constitute a valuable reference both for evaluating the historical process of creating and performing music, as well as for establishing the inventory of modal categories and their taxonomic relations. As time passed, I was able to determine the development of a genuine Turkish concept in works that provided descriptive and analytical matter, and to detect through manuscript lines the significance of the process involving the semantics of the practice of music at different periods. The present book is mainly focused upon the practical theory of the makams reflected in the production and performance of the melodic scales the way they are described in Ottoman manuscripts.

1964rif. 61504Saginaw MI & Indianapolis IN: Trippensee Planetarium Co. George F. Cram Co. ca. 1964. Planetarium Orrery stands 12.5 in. tall at the top of the central Sun made from yellow plastic mounts on a 7.5 in. diameter moulded plastic base the model extends 22 in. when fully extended with Mercury on opposite side of the Sun from Moon extending out from central Earth. The Earth is a paper-covered 4 in. globe mounted on a gear mechanism mounted with wooden painted Moon mounted on metal rod as is the Venus globe which rotates around the moon all of which are driven by chains when handle underneath the swing arm is moved. Moulded plastic base has iron weight bolted underneath minor closed crack to the outer fore-edge of the base minor rippling to paint finish at base chipping to plastic bushing at base of Earth & Lunar globes still an exceptional piece in beautiful working condition. The Trippensee Planetarium tellurion or “Elementary Planetarium” has been produced for over 90 years and offers a wonderful astronomical mechanism depicting how day night and the seasons are caused by the movement of the Earth on its axis and its orbit around the Sun. It shows solar and lunar eclipses the motion of Venus in relation to the Sun and the rotation. The globe shows the major continents and cities with no internal political divisions except for the continental United States & Alaska shaded in green on the North American continent. The Tellurion or Tellurium was patented by Alexander Laing originally in 1897 as an educational device to be used in schools. He set up operations in Detroit MI and was later bought out by the Trippensee brothers who introduced their own version with a more reliable bicycle-style chain and gear drive and they sold them steadily. In order to further diversify the company they also built the Eddie Rickenbacker automobile for the E-M-F Company until 1927 when the Everitt Company went under. Trippensee brothers moved later to Saginaw Michigan where they occupied a three-story building at the corner of Cass and South Hamilton staying in business until 1999 when they were purchased by Science First. Their Orrery planetariums were made originally from wood and brass then Bakelite and finally plastics. See: Mark Theobald Coachbuiltcom Trippensee Manufacturing Company Rickenbacker Motors.
