The Lion Of Plevna In The Songs Of Bosniaks From Sandžak

207 The Lıon Of Plevna In The Songs Of Bosnıaks From Sandžak Müzik, Oyun ve Eğlence Conclusion In the battles for Plevna, Gazi Osman Paşa led the Ottoman army which was composed of numerous Bosniak soldiers. Because of his exceptional bravery and his exceptional military skills, many songs were sung about him. By analyzing the ethnomusicological literature and re- searching the living music tradition of the Bosniaks of Sandžak we found a total of 6 songs about Gazi Osman Paşa. Five of them were recorded - 4 were a part of ethnomusicological collections, and 1 was in a collection of sevdalinka songs. The sixth song, titled Pokraj Plevne i Sofije was recorded for the first time as part of the preparation for this paper and was published for the first time in it. This will enable it to be permanently preserved from disappearing completely. It is my hope that this presentation of the songs about Gazi Osman Paşa will incite further interest in them, and thus that they will be the subject matter of new research and performances. I also think that they might, as teaching material, be included in music education classes being taught in Serbia in the Bosnian language, thus correlating music education classes, history classes and Bosnian language classes, it is not only possible but also necessary to work on nurturing the culture of the Bosniaks.
