In her scientific research, the teacher analyzes musical works by Turkmen and foreign composers whose works are connected with the heritage of the great poet and thinker of the East. Among them are the opera "Magtymguly" by Julij Mejtus, symphonic poem "Magtymguly" by Ashir Kuliev and Symphony No. 1 by Veli Mukhatov "In Memory of Magtymguly". 

In addition, the book includes compositions by composers of different musical forms created on the poems of the classic of Turkmen literature: choral works, songs and romances, as well as music for the movie "Magtymguly".
