The hymns were set in the makam and usul of Ottoman court and Mevlevi music, often to existing compositions, and grouped into suites resembling the Ottoman fasıl; the repertoire was gathered in printed song collections, recordings of the last Edirne singers and the Sephardic Center of Istanbul's collection preserve it, and a maftirim choir still sings in Istanbul.",
