CLASSIC TURKISH MUSIC
Atatürk Wants to Listen to the Anthem
- Doctor, how are you, is there anything new? He asked.
- Yes, sir, I made a march to honor your presence, if you allow me, I will present the lyrics.
“Read it,” he said.
- I read the first verse and came to the third verse of the second verse:
- The light rose with your hand, the glorious crescent
when you say:
- He said no, dear, how is the light with your hand?
I thought at that moment. If the anthem that Vasıf does not want to put in the Turkish Hearth is not liked, wow my unfortunate head, ATATÜRK;
- Look, sir, I said, what I am offering below.
Pointing to his blessed head, I read the lyrics with the full strength of my voice from beginning to end. The applause from the surrounding showed my success.
- If you order, the jazz team can play the composition, I said. And because I had given the jazz team his score before, with a signal, the jazz anthem started playing.
"Here's the anthem, sir," I said.
- Bravo doctor, they praised me.
Now our anthem has become the legitimate anthem of Türkocağı...
