During the late Ottoman period (1856–1922), a time of contestation about imperial policy toward minority groups, music helped the Ottoman Greeks in Istanbul define themselves as a distinct cultural group. A part of the largest non-Muslim minority within a multi-ethnic and multi-religious empire, the Greek Orthodox educated elite engaged in heated discussions about their cultural identity, Byzantine heritage, and prospects for the future, at the heart of which were debates about the place of traditional liturgical music in a community that was confronting modernity and westernization. Merih Erol draws on archival evidence from ecclesiastical and lay sources dealing with understandings of Byzantine music and history, forms of religious chanting, the life stories of individual cantors, and other popular and scholarly sources of the period. Audio examples keyed to the text are available online.

This book . . . is a welcome addition to the field of Greek-Ottoman studies in the nineteenth century because it offers a sustained analysis of the much neglected theme of 'Greek-Orthodox' music in the troubled and complicated late Ottoman period.
" - Historein"
Greek Orthodox Music in Ottoman Istanbul broadens and renews the research field of late Ottoman and Modern Greek musical and cultural history.
" - Middle Eastern Studies"
This is a thoroughly researched, erudite, and original examination in Ottoman-Greek studies/history, which is also relevant to broader scholarship through the connections it builds with the history of European, Byzantine, and ancient music, ethnomusicology, and cultural studies.
" - American Historical Review"
This book is a great contribution to the fields of historical ethnomusicology, religious studies, ethnic studies, and Ottoman and Greek studies. It offers timely research during a critical period for ethnic minorities in the Middle East in general and Christians in particular as they undergo persecution and forced migration.
" - Journal of the American Academy of Religion"
Overall, the book impresses me as a sophisticated work that avoids the standard nationalist views on the history of the Ottoman Greeks.
" - University of Tampere, Finland"
Highly recommended for academic libraries.
