  • SILK ROAD: the Silk Road
    SILK ROAD: The Silk Road (or Silk Routes) is an extensive interconnected network of trade routes across the Asian continent connecting East, South, and Western Asia with the Mediterranean world, as well as North and Northeast Africa and Europe. FIDDLE/VIOLIN: Turkic and Mongolian horsemen from Inner Asia were probably the world’s earliest fiddlers (see below). Their two-stringed upright fiddles called morin khuur were strung with horsehair strings, played with horsehair bows, and often feature a carved horse’s head at the end of the neck. The morin khuur produces a sound that is poetically described as “expansive and unrestrained”, like a wild horse neighing, or like a breeze in the grasslands. It is believed that these instruments eventually spread to China, India, the Byzantine Empire and the Middle East, where they developed into instruments such as the Erhu, the Chinese violin or 2-stringed fiddle, was introduced to China over a thousand years ago and probably came to China from Asia to the west along the silk road. The sound box of the Ehru is covered with python skin. The erhu is almost always tuned to the interval of a fifth. The inside string (nearest to player) is generally tuned to D4 and the outside string to A4. This is the same as the two middle strings of the violin. The violin in its present form emerged in early 16th-Century Northern Italy, where the port towns of Venice and Genoa maintained extensive ties to central Asia through the trade routes of the silk road. The violin family developed during the Renaissance period in Europe (16th century) when all arts flourished.

  • Notes on Musical Imagery in the Poetry of Jāmi Alessia Dal Bianco Independent Scholar
    e-ISSN 2385-3042 Annali di Ca’ Foscari. Serie orientale Vol. 57 – Giugno 2021 Notes on Musical Imagery in the Poetry of Jāmi Alessia Dal Bianco Independent Scholar Abstract The poet Nur-al-Din ʿAbd-al-Raḥmān Jāmi (1414-92) is known to have been proficient in music theory; he also wrote a Resāla-ye musiqi (Treatise on Music Theory). In his poems he displayed an extensive and precise use of musical terms. To probe fur- ther into the elements of musical imagery, I scanned through his maṯnavis Haft awrang (The Seven Thrones) in search of lines dedicated to musical modes, instruments, and performers. Considering that musical imagery had a long-established tradition before his time, I pursued a comparative investigation and commented on some lines by way of examples. Finally, I argue that literary conventions shaped Jāmi’s poetry more than his expertise in music theory did. Keywords Nur-al-Din ʿAbd-al-Raḥmān Jāmi. Persian poetry. Resāla-ye musiqi.

    Ilmi Araştırmalar 6, Istanbul 1998 SAMi D ivANINDA MÜSİKI Mustafa ASLAN Çok insan anlayamaz eski musıkimızden Ve ondan anlamayan bır şey anlamaz bıZLlen Yahya Kemal BEY ATU Musikf, güzel sanatların sesi malzeme olarak düzenli ve estetik maksatlara uygun şekilde kullanan bir koludur. Bu kelime, Yunanca asıllı "musilcc"den alınarak "nıusikf'' şeklinde Arapça'ya, oradan da dılimize geçmiş. Bugün kullandığımız "müzik" de aynı kelimenin Batı dillerinden alınmış şeklidir fakat elbette onda "musiki"nin oturakldığı yoktur. İnsanoğlunun, şiir, musiki, mimari, raks, heykel, resim gibi -estetik tarafı da bulunan- güzel faaliyetlerinin esas itibariyle dini men~e'li olduğu ve ortaya çıktıklan ilk anlardan başlayarak bu özelliklerini çok uzun bir süre devam ettirdikleri bilinmektedir. Hatta, ilk zamanlarda raks, şiir ve mGsiki ile beraberken sonrad~n bunlardan ayrılmıştır. Ortaasya'da bozkır hayatı yaşayan en eski atalarımızın duygu ve düşüncelerini şiir şeklinde ve belli bir ezgi eşliğinde terennüm ederken, bu ezginin ve şiirli duyguların ifadesine bağlı olarak eğilip bükülmek, oturup kalkınak, hoplayıp sıçramak vs. gibi bugünkü folklorun başlangıcını teşkil eden bir takım hareketler yaptığını da kaynaklardan öğreniyoruz. Şaman, Kanı, Baksı (Bah~ı), Ozan adlarıyla anılan ilk Türk şairlerinin sihırbazlık, hekimlik, şfıirlik, musikişinaslık, rakkaslık gibi pek çok hüneri bir arada bulunduran ve bunları mutlaka kopuzla söyleyen insanlar olduğu bilinen bir gerçektir.
