Concordances play a vital role in preparing critical editions, providing valuable insights, and aiding in the reconstruction of musical or textual works. These resources help editors identify and analyse variant readings, compare different versions of a piece, and ensure accuracy and completeness in the final edition. In vocal editions, collections of songs and anthologies inevitably become part of the concordances. These resources may include musical sources, textual songbooks, and anthologies, offering invaluable information, such as forgotten or missing texts, historical performance practices, and notation details.

Workflow for Establishing Concordance(s)

Identify Concordances:

Begin by finding concordances to be consulted during the transcription process, focusing primarily on sources in Hampartsum notation, but also considering sources in staff notation and relevant publications. 

Use the CMO Source Catalogue to locate these sources.

Go to the CMO Website and click on CMO Editions and Source Catalogue or directly click here. 

Enter relevant information such as makâm, usûl, composer name or any relevant information in the search box on the upper right corner. Be aware that a piece might be recorded under different names.

Search Additional Sources:

Since not all source are available online, check other available sources using indices found on servers or resource catalogues such as

_-_TRT Music Department Archive (https://katalog.devletarsivleri.gov.tr/ )

- Collection of Cüneyd Kosal ( http://ktp.isam.org.tr/ )

- IBB Atatürk Library (https://ataturkkitapligi.ibb.gov.tr/tr/Kitaplik/Koleksiyonlar ) etc.

Documenting Concordances:

Note down the page and PDF numbers for easy reference during the transcription process.

Record any additional useful information such as different composer attributions, makâm/usûl variations, etc.

Create a separate file for each piece with a folder named ‘consulted concordances’. Record these references with RISM codes and page numbers.

Example Documentation:

For example, some of the concordances consulted for the piece "Sinede bir lâhza aram eyle gel canim" in the manuscript TR-Iboa TRT.MD.d.521 are documented as follows:

-TR-Iboa TRT.MD.d.400, pp. 223-4

-TR-Iboa TRT.MD.d.567, p. 28

-TR-Iüne 204-2, p. 148

-TR-Iüne 208-6, p. 105

-TR-Iüne 209-7, fol. 80a
