Hi,

I'm looking for good, college-level information on Dave Brubeck's composition "Blue Rondo A La Turk." In particular, I need "music theory" information like scales, time signature, notation, how the song compares to Turkish folk music etc. I have searched all over the internet for this information and can not find anything in-depth, so I am hoping that there's a music expert out there who can help me.

Thanks!

I also did brief search and came up with Nada. You may have to get the conductors score and work from that. That's assumiong you can find one. You might find a recording and listen to it also.

I'm not a musician, so I can't figure out the sheet music. I need to see the scales, etc, spelled out in plain english.

Hey anonymous - guess your back again.

It would be nice if you would not call those of us who try to help out meatballs. A few manners on your part would help.

Turkish meatballs, at that
I have never heard of this piece, and by the sounds of things it must be a very unusual form of study you are doing..Scales "'spelled out in plain english"'..?
Maybe a biography of Brubeck would have at least some of the info..
