Terminology of Art Music in Ottoman Turkish and Modern Turkish Lexicography (19Th-21St Century)
TERMINOLOGY OF ART MUSIC IN OTTOMAN TURKISH AND MODERN TURKISH LEXICOGRAPHY (19TH-21ST CENTURY). Agata Pawlina Jagiellonian University Abstract In this paper the author presents preliminary conclusions concerning changes in forms (in respect of orthography and morphology) and semantics of musical terms in Ottoman Turkish and modern Turkish lexicography. Selected dictionaries (including mono- and bilingual, general and specialized ones) from the period between the 19th and 21st century had been analyzed. This period of time is particularly interesting for establishing how a) Turkish lexicographic works reflect the Westernization of high- culture music of the late Ottoman Empire and the young Republic of Turkey and b) differences between art music of the Ottoman and European traditions are perceived nowadays. By presenting a terminological analysis of words considered to be not only basic musicological terms but also a part of natural language (‘singer’, ‘piano’, ‘kanun’) the author unveils some of the issues associated with the translation of Turkish musical terms into European languages and vice-versa. Those problems arise from the duality and hybridity which exist in contemporary Turkish musical culture. Its older part, the so-called classical/traditional art music (tur. Türk sanat müziği or Osmanlı/Türk klasik müziği) emerged at the turn of the 17th century, as a part of a Middle Eastern art musical tradition. Later on, during modernizing efforts conducted in the declining Ottoman Empire in the 19th century, European art music had been incorporated along with its international, translingual terminology. As a result of such duality, interesting phenomena are being observed in modern Turkish vocabulary concerning art music. -
Music: the Case of Afghanistan by JOHN BAILY
from Popular Music 1, CambridgeUniversity Press 1981 Cross -cultural perspectives in popular music: the case of Afghanistan by JOHN BAILY The problem of definition It is inevitable that the first issue of this yearbook will raise questions about the use of the term 'popular music'. I do not believe that this question is going to be easy to answer and, as a precaution, I think we should regard quick and seemingly clearcut solutions with suspicion. In fact, we may eventually have to operate with intuitive, poorly defined and rather elastic definitions of popular music. Before we resort to that expedient, however, the problem of definition must be considered and discussed from various points of view. The editors have offered the following two definitions (the number- ing is mine): (1)From one point of view 'popular music' exists in any stratified society. It is seen as the music of the mass of the people ... as against that of an élite. (2) From another point of view there is at the very least a significant qualita- tive change, both in the meaning which is felt to attach to the term and in the processes to which the music owes its life, when a society undergoes indus- trialisation. From this point of view popular music is typical of societies with a relatively highly developed division of labour and a clear distinction between producers and consumers, in which cultural products are created largely by professionals, sold in a mass market and reproduced through mass media. (P. i above) The first of these definitions is very general, the second very specific. -
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. -

The Moldavian Composer V. Rotaru and His Chamber- Instrumental Work
İNÖNÜ ÜNİVERSİTESİ KÜLTÜR VE SANAT DERGİSİ İnönü University Journal of Culture and Art Cilt/Vol. 5 Sayı/No. 1 (2019): 41-51 THE MOLDAVIAN COMPOSER V. ROTARU AND HIS CHAMBER- INSTRUMENTAL WORK. Natalia Djalilova*1 *Academy of Music, Theatre and Fine Arts, Chishinau, Republic of Moldova Summary This article analyzes the piano Trio INO-3 V. Rotaru, its significance in the author's work, the basic style, the harmonic, rhythmic and inerprtative aspects. The connection with neo-folklore direction in music and traditional genres in Moldovan folk music is revealed, the synthesis of traditional folklore with modern composition techniques. This article assumes to define first of all value of the considered Trio INO-3 in the context of all area of chamber-instrumental music of V. Rotaru, as the last composition of the composer in this genre sphere. The article also focuses on the neo-folklore features of the composer's style and their harmonious combination with the classical traditions typical of the trio of Russian and Western European composers. As for the classical traditions, the Trio is a three-part cycle with a characteristic tempo dramaturgy: I. Moderato II. Lento e molto lamento III. Allegro moderato Since this Trio is the last in the cycle and was written shortly before the composer's death, the author's appeal to the genre of mourning Saraband in the middle part is of interest. As for the neo-folk style elements, they define the whole thematic, rhythmic and Lado - harmonic material of the composition. The article focuses on the Lado - harmonic features of all parts of the Trio, which are characteristic intonation formulas of Moldovan folklore: motives with II increased and decreased levels, motives with IV increased level, VI increased level, enriched with melismatics. -

But following this anniversary there is some sad news, with the recent passing of our President, Jeanie, Countess of Carnarvon. Her energy, commitment and enthusiasm from the outset and throughout the evolution of the Festival have been fundamental to its success. The Duchess of Kent and I have seen the Festival grow from humble beginnings to an internationally renowned arts festival, having faced and overcome many obstacles along the way. Jeanie, Countess of Carnarvon, can be justly proud of the Festival’s achievements. Her legacy must surely be a Festival that continues to flourish as we embark on the next forty years. www.newburyspringfestival.org.uk 1 2019-NSF book.qxp_NSF programme book 23/04/2019 12:31 Page 2 Jeanie, Countess of Carnarvon MBE Founder and President 1935 - 2019 2 box office 0845 5218 218 2019-NSF book.qxp_NSF programme book 23/04/2019 12:31 Page 3 The Festival’s founder and president, Jeanie Countess of Carnarvon was a great and much loved lady who we will always remember for her inspirational support of Newbury Spring Festival and her gentle and gracious presence at so many events over the years.

Folksongs of the Turkic World
Journal of Literature and Art Studies, November 2016, Vol. 6, No. 11, 1343-1370 doi: 10.17265/2159-5836/2016.11.008 D DAVID PUBLISHING Folksongs of the Turkic World János Sipos Institute for Musicology of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Budapest, Hungary The long-term goal of my research has been to systematize and compare by musical criteria the folk songs of Turkic groups and ethnicities living around them. Here I rarely touch on instrumental folk music, the repertoire of professional or semi-professional performers, the most recent strata, seldom or just occasionally discuss art music and the cultural, social and anthropological implications of music are only sporadically considered, too. There are close connections between the languages of Turkic groups but their musical stocks are fundamentally different. Actually, that is not surprising, because these people are, at least in part, Turkified, and through their substrata (that is people absorbed by them) they are in genetic and cultural relations with several non-Turkic peoples. My research therefore has repercussions; apart from the Turkic-speaking peoples tied by culture, language and history, upon their neighbors and partly absorbed other peoples, creating the foundation for an even broader future comparative ethnomusicological research of Eurasian groups. This paper is aimed to provide a very short summary about the findings of my field researches into the folk music of different Turkic-speaking people between 1987 and 2015. I introduce the sources, the collecting work and the methods of processing and analyzing the songs. I also give an analytical introduction to the folksong of Anatolian Turks, Azeris, Turkmens, Uzbeks (and Tajiks), Karachay-Balkars, Kazakhs, Kyrgyzs, a Sufi Turkish community in Thrace and the area of the Volga-Kama-Belaya region.
