Anne Murray & Tom Jones 1971 Turkish Vintage Musical Notes Sheet Turkey

Nota Dergisi – No. 3 – Çağrı Yayınları, Istanbul – 1971 – English

Description:

Nota Dergisi No. 3 is a vintage Turkish sheet music magazine published in Istanbul in 1971 by Çağrı Yayınları. This edition contains the musical notation for two popular songs of the period: “Put Your Hand in the Hand,” a well-known song that became a hit in 1971 and was also performed by Anne Murray, and “Puppet Man,” another popular period song associated with recordings by artists including Tom Jones and The 5th Dimension. The publication provides an interesting snapshot of the international popular music repertoire that reached Turkish audiences during the early 1970s.

Published in Istanbul by Çağrı Yayınları, Nota Dergisi represents the period’s printed music culture, when popular international songs were made available to musicians and music enthusiasts through dedicated sheet music publications. Such magazines allowed readers to follow contemporary international repertoire and perform the songs themselves.

The inclusion of two internationally popular songs in a single edition makes this publication particularly interesting as a document of the musical tastes and publishing culture of early 1970s Turkey. At a time when records, radio, and printed music were the principal ways of discovering and reproducing popular songs, publications such as Nota Dergisi helped connect Turkish musicians and music enthusiasts with contemporary international repertoire.

Before the digital era, printed sheet music played an important role in domestic musical life. A popular song could be brought into the home through a piano, guitar, or another instrument, allowing families and friends to reproduce and share the music themselves. In this sense, Nota Dergisi is not simply a collection of musical scores but a small surviving document of the social and domestic music culture of early 1970s Turkey.

For collectors of vintage sheet music, music magazines, 1970s popular music, international music ephemera, and Turkish music publishing history, this Istanbul-printed edition of Nota Dergisi offers an evocative example of how contemporary international songs were presented to Turkish musicians and music enthusiasts in 1971.
