We are very excited that you and your students are joining us as we explore Romani music—one type of Turkish music—with our featured artist, Romani clarinetist Selim Sesler. Our curriculum this year is built around a single guiding question: What is the relationship between freedom and structure in Selim Sesler’s Turkish Romani music and my own life? We will repeatedly return to this question throughout this year, including during your Turkish performance artists classroom visits, and also at the final concert. We believe this guided inquiry will sustain an interesting and thorough dialogue between students and teachers. As you and your students explore this question in your classroom, please keep these overarching goals in mind: • to engage students in active musical exploration of global cultures, history, and musical practices • to inspire students to reflect on their own cultures and look for ways to connect to new and different musical traditions • to provide an opportunity for students to explore their potential as participants in a global musical tradition that is not their own We are inspired by the possibilities that the 2008–2009 Citi Global Encounters program presents for everyone involved and look forward to working with you and your students.

Here are some suggestions for talking about music in your classroom and tips for conducting your own active listening—and your students’, too. For your own preparation, listen to the Citi Global Encounters Turkey CD. Listen actively by posing the questions below to yourself before you listen to each track, and keep these questions in mind while you listen. Use this same method of active listening in your classroom. Rather than acting as a music expert, you can engage your students’ listening skills and help them build their observations and opinions over time. Because most of us are passive (rather than active) music listeners, we do not generally listen to music as closely as the activities in this program ask us to listen. Students may resist active listening, but will overcome

  • Transformation from Tent to Room: Room of Traditional Turkish House
    IJASOS- International E-Journal of Advances in Social Sciences, Vol. III, Issue 9, December 2017 TRANSFORMATION FROM TENT TO ROOM: ROOM OF TRADITIONAL TURKISH HOUSE Deniz Demirarslan Ass.Prof Dr.,Kocaeli University, TURKEY, [email protected] Abstract The room has a function of nucleus in the formation of Turkish House which has an important place in the sense of traditional residence features in the world and the planning of this residence begins with room. Therefore, this residence is a phenomenon that develops from inner space through outer space. The formation of the room of traditional Turkish house is influenced by various elements. On top of them there come the requirements of nomads and Turkish-Islamic life style. The effects of these are clearly observed in the architectural design and decoration of the room which is shaped by the features of traditional life and bestows its design characteristics from nomad tent. Before immigrating to Anatolia from 11th century A.D., Turks have lived mostly a nomadic life in Middle Asia. Therefore, just like in other Middle Asia cultures; Turks have lived in temporary shelters. After settling in Anatolia and before that after accepting Islam; Turks have started to lead a sedentary life and formed a new living culture with the effect of various Anatolian civilizations, notably the Byzantines. In this way, a type of residence which is built in Anatolia, Balkans and Caucasus in the period of Ottoman Empire has emerged. The room of this type of house which lasted from 15th century to the second half of 19th century forms the nucleus of design.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract This thesis is a contribution towards an historically informed understanding of contemporary music making amongst Roma in Ostrava, Czech Republic. It also challenges, from a theoretical perspective, conceptions of relationships between music and discourses of ‘race’. My research is based on fieldwork conducted in Ostrava, between August 2003 and July 2004 and East Slovakia in July 2004, as well as archival research in Ostrava and Vienna. These fieldwork experiences compelled me to explore music and ideas of ‘race’ through discourses of diaspora in order to assist in conceptualising and interpreting Romani music making in Ostrava. The vast majority of Roma in Ostrava are post-World War II emigres or descendants of emigres from East Slovakia. In contemporary Ostrava, most Roma live on the socio­ economic margins and are most often regarded as a separate ‘race’ with a separate culture from the dominant population.

  • Traditional Forms and Genres of Turkish Music in the Creations of International Art Music Composers of Turkey*
    EKOD / 2018 (12): 33-49 TRADITIONAL FORMS AND GENRES OF TURKISH MUSIC IN THE CREATIONS OF INTERNATIONAL ART MUSIC COMPOSERS OF * TURKEY Türk Uluslararası Sanat Müziği Bestecilerinin Eserlerinde Türk Müziğinin Geleneksel Türleri ve Biçimleri Özge USTA** ABSTRACT 19th century was an era of nationalist movements in music. Nationalism was seen in important regions of the world, especially in Russia and Northern Europe. These nationalistic movements affected international art music composers of Turkey in the early years of Turkish Republic. Generally Turkish composers preferred to use traditional folk music elements instead of the elements of traditional art music. Either folk music with its melodic characteristic or maqam structure of art music is used by many international Turkish composers after the Turkish Fives. Generally, maqam factors are used as building stones in the compositions. The genre has been the less mentioned subject than maqam regarding the reflection of tradition. Besides, it is seen that the forms and genres of folk music are used in international art music. Here I present the composers’ preferences regarding Turkish music genres with notation samples. Keywords: Turkish traditional forms, Turkish traditional genres, Turkish international art music composers, Turkish traditional music, Turkish fives. ÖZ 19. yüzyıl, müzikte ulusalcı hareketlerin görüldüğü dönemdi. Ulusalcılık dünyanın önemli bölgelerinde özellikle Rusya ve Kuzey Avrupa’da görülmüştü.

  • Issues of Musical Identity During The
    RAST MÜZİKOLOJİ DERGİSİ Uluslararası Müzikoloji Dergisi www.rastmd.com Doi:10.12975/rastmd.2016.04.01.00067 ISSUES OF MUSICAL IDENTITY DURING THE FOUNDATION OF THE TURKISH REPUBLIC (1923-1950) Adem Merter Birson1 ABSTRACT In the early years of the Turkish Republic, music was a central topic in the cultural reforms that aimed to guide Turkey in the modernism and progressivism that defined the first half of the twentieth century. Several issues were involved, including the “change of civilizations” from an Ottoman and Eastern identity to becoming more like a Western European nation-state. This was a period that saw the establishment of Western-style music conservatories and the employment of musicians and musicologists to help establish a national classical music based on Turkish folk elements. At the same time, media outlets such as radio helped to shape and disseminate a national folk musical style. Private music making and cultural exchange with the West also played an important role in shaping a new Ottoman style. All of these elements worked together to form a rich and complex fabric of musical identity during the early days of the Turkish Republic. Keywords: Turkish Republic, National Identity, Cultural Reforms, Classical Music, Folk Music TÜRK CUMHURİYETİ KURUMLARINDA MÜZİKAL KİMLİK MESELESİ (1923-1950) ÖZET Yirminci yüzyılın ilk yarısında müzik, Türkiye’yi erken Cumhuriyet döneminde çağdaşlık ve ilericelik konusunda yönlendiren önemli bir alan olarak tanımlanmıştır. Osmanlı ve Doğu kimliğinden Batı ve Avrupa ulus devletine dönüşüm, uygarlıkların değişimi gibi birçok konuyu içeriyordu. Bu, Batı stili müzik konservatuvarlarının kuruluşu ve Türk halk kültürüne dayalı ulusal klasik müziğin oluşturulması amacıyla müzisyenlerden ve müzikologlardan faydalanılmasını içeren bir dönemdi.

  • A Brief History of Kurdish Music Recordings in Turkey
    Hellenic Journal of Music Education, and Culture A brief history of Kurdish music Copyright © 2013 recordings in Turkey Vol. 4 | Article 2 ISSN 1792-2518 www.hejmec.eu ROBERT F. REIGLE Centre for Advanced Studies in Music, Istanbul Technical University, Istanbul, Turkey [email protected] | This article delineates the complex history of Kurdish music recordings in Turkey by dividing it into seven periods. The first period begins with the very first recording of Kurdish music, in 1902. Political events demarcate the remaining periods, embracing the founding of the Turkish Republic, three military coups, the initial legalization of Kurdish language use and further easing of restrictions on broadcasting. The recordings discussed here include those recorded in, manufactured in, or imported to Turkey, both legally and illegally. In addition to the legal environment, the evolution of sound recording and distribution technology also shaped access to and use of Kurdish musics. It is hoped that further research be undertaken urgently, before the remaining sound recordings of the 20th century disappear, and the people who understand their history leave us. Keywords: Dengbêj, Kurdish music, sound recordings, Turkey The purpose of this article is to delineate periods in the complex history of Kurdish music recordings in Turkey. As in every society, the forms of mediation – the types of commodification – shaped the distribution, use, and impact of music, one of society‘s most powerful forces. For Kurdish- language speakers in Turkey, however, language restrictions led to an extraordinary gap in the recording of everyday music practice. This article should also call attention to important lacunae in the literature, including a rigorous discography, and documentation of performers and performance practices.
