Bimen Şen was born in Bursa in 1873 as Bimen Dergazaryan, the son of an Armenian clergyman, and was of Armenian origin. He began singing hymns at the Bursa Armenian Church as a child, where his musical ability and beautiful voice attracted attention. After being encouraged by Hacı Ârif Bey, he moved to Istanbul as a teenager and continued developing his musical knowledge among the leading musicians of the period.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"647\" data-end=\"1343\"\u003ePublished by Kudmanizâde Udî Şamlı İskender, the sheet belongs to the important music publishing tradition associated with the Şamlı İskender family. The family had origins in Damascus and became known in Istanbul by the nickname “Şamlı,” which was also incorporated into the name of the publishing business. During the late Ottoman and early Republican periods, when access to sound recordings, radio and other forms of musical reproduction was limited, printed sheet music provided musicians and music enthusiasts with an important means of learning and preserving musical works. The publications of Şamlı İskender therefore form an important part of the printed musical heritage of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1345\" data-end=\"1807\"\u003eBimen Şen became known both as a celebrated hanende and as a prolific composer of Turkish classical music. He studied with and was influenced by important musicians including Hacı Ârif Bey, Tanbûrî Cemil Bey, Neyzen Aziz Dede, Şevki Bey, Rahmi Bey and Hacı Kirâmî Efendi. His compositions became widely known during the late Ottoman and early Republican periods, and a significant number of his works were published in notation by Şamlı İskender and Şamlı Selim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1809\" data-end=\"2248\"\u003eThis sheet was published in Istanbul during the 1910s as No. 501 of the Müntehabat series issued by Kudmanizâde Udî Şamlı İskender. The Ottoman Turkish script, Hüzzam makam indication and series number make it a useful document for the study and collecting of early 20th-century Turkish music publications. For collectors of Ottoman sheet music, Bimen Şen compositions and Şamlı İskender publications, this is a notable historical example.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(170, 26, 23);\"\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2265\" data-end=\"2301\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003e• Composer: Bimen Efendi (Bimen Şen)\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2303\" data-end=\"2323\"\u003e• Work: Hep Yeis İle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2325\" data-end=\"2340\"\u003e• Makam: Hüzzam\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2342\" data-end=\"2385\"\u003e• Publisher: Kudmanizâde Udî Şamlı İskender\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2387\" data-end=\"2407\"\u003e• Series: Müntehabat\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2409\" data-end=\"2426\"\u003e• Series No.: 501\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2428\" data-end=\"2457\"\u003e• Publication Place: Istanbul\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2459\" data-end=\"2486\"\u003e• Publication Period: 1910s\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2488\" data-end=\"2515\"\u003e• Language: Ottoman Turkish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2517\" data-end=\"2549\"\u003e• Genre: Turkish Classical Music\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2551\" data-end=\"2580\"\u003e• Format: Printed Sheet Music\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2582\" data-end=\"2654\"\u003e• Subject: Bimen Şen, Hüzzam Makamı and Şamlı İskender Müntehabat Series\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2656\" data-end=\"2867\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e• Collector Appeal: An early 20th-century Ottoman Turkish printed music publication, No. 501 of the Müntehabat series, documenting the work of Bimen Şen and the historical publishing tradition of Şamlı İskender.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Turkrex Collectables","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50339918217354,"sku":null,"price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/3687\/7450\/files\/1_840676c5-97aa-46c3-bc8f-3ce385295a1d.jpg?v=1790927011","url":"https:\/\/turkrexcollectables.com\/products\/bimen-efendi-hep-yeis-i%cc%87le-ottoman-turkish-1910s-musical-notes-sheet-empire-armenian-citizen","provider":"Turkrex Collectables","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
