This is an oversized piece of sheet music. The music is in Very Good condition and was issued without a dust jacket. The spine ends, corners and edges of the music has some light bumping, rubbing and creasing. The text pages are clean and bright. "Often listed as being of unknown authorship -- probably because French's original composition (set in the Crimean War) was stolen and printed without his name. Conflict between Russia and the Ottoman Empire was almost constant in the nineteenth century, as the Tsar sought to expand his realm and the feeble Turks tried to hold onto their European possessions. Full-fledged wars were few, however, making it clear that this song refers to the Crimean War (which pitted England, France, and the Ottomans against the Russians). Abdul's cry, "Allah Akbar," means "God is great," and is a common Islamic slogan." Bülbül Amîr" means "nightingale chieftain" in Turkish." (from The Ballad Index) #37790 $15
