    Journal of Arts & Humanities The Development of Polyphonic Music That Started During the Early Years of Republic of Turkey Ilkay Ak1, Sabriye Ozkan2 ABSTRACT The interaction between Turkish Music and western music goes back to the Ottoman period. The artistic trading between these two cultures had started with the Janissary Band, which was an important formation of Ottoman period musical culture. The music in the Ottoman period was lead with a central approach. Changes in values, life styles, and social and economical system, which came with the declaration of republic, had also affected music. As a result, the idea that art is the most important step in changing social life was adopted. Along with these improvements, Turkish composers who were proficient in their areas and foreign composers coming from different countries had immensely contributed to this formation. In this study, the development of the conservatories, which had begun to be institutionalized under leadership of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk during the republic period and brought polyphony to our country, during their formation process is examined. It is aimed for the study to be limited in the light of this information, to be transferred to contemporary musicians and to contribute their professional lives.

Within this context, Ulvi Cemal Erkin, who is a member of The Turkish Five, wrote a composition called Duyuşlar, which consists of 11 pieces and is used in piano training. In this study, it was aimed to determine the usage of the composition Duyuşlar in the programs of institutions teaching music education in piano lessons in terms of technique, musical, and style characteristics. In accordance with this purpose, interviews are carried out by asking semi-structured interview questions to piano instructors who are using this work in their education process and working in Music Education Departments. The results of the interviews are determined into themes and codes using the qualitative research analysis program NVivo11. As a result, it is observed that the usage frequency in the direction of the themes and the recommended levels to use in the students vary, but the works contribute to piano education in terms of piano techniques, aksak measures, nuances, expressions, tempo and polyphonic techniques.

  • "Turkish Five": Their Contributions to Contemporary Piano Music
    US-China Education Review, ISSN 1548-6613 March 2011, Vol. 8, No. 3, 354-369 “Turkish Five”: Their Contributions to Contemporary Piano Music and Piano Education in Turkey Şirin Akbulut Uludağ University, Bursa, Turkey First musicians using polyphony and homophony in their compositions can be seen during the 19th century in Turkey. These talented amateur composers, who worked in simple forms, such as marches or educational music, were not actually professional composers but either orchestral or choral directors. Later, during the Republic period (after 1923), “Turkish Five” emerged. “Turkish Five” consisted of professional composers who were educated in Europe and learned western musical forms. These musicians, according to their birth years, are Cemal Reşit Rey (1904-1985), Hasan Ferit Alnar (1906-1978), Ulvi Cemal Erkin (1906-1972), Ahmet Adnan Saygun (1907-1991) and Necil Kazım Akses (1908-1999). “Turkish Five” achieved important accomplishments and did significant contributions to Turkish contemporary music in 30-40 years with their efforts. While doing this, they used over 500-year old musical legacy of the West. At the beginning, these musicians used Turkish folk tunes and their rhythmic and modal system, however, later, they began to use “impressionism”, “neo-classicism” and finally “atonalism” in their music. In the current study, the contributions of “Turkish Five” to contemporary Turkish piano music and their approaches to piano education were examined via literature review. After an extensive research with the literature on the topic, the researcher has interviewed with six piano teachers from different music institutions in Turkey (including two schools of fine arts, two conservatories and two music teacher training schools).

  • Traditional Forms and Genres of Turkish Music in the Creations of International Art Music Composers of Turkey*

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.

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.

This is a common aspect. Later on, however, the feature of taking advantage of our traditional music eventually decreased and each of our composers developed their own characteristic way of thinking and hearing, which was their different side.In this declaration, the works of these composers known The Turkish Five which was mentioned above were discussed with examples and their common and different sides were examined and it was aimed to introduce them to the contemporary Turkish music. © 20122012 Published Published by by Elsevier Elsevier Ltd.

Introduction In 1923, a new political system and social order began in Turkey with the proclamation of republic; thus the development of a culture concordant to this new order was inevitable. The policy that the new Republican administration adopted as its principle was, in Atatürk’s words, to reach ‘Contemporary Civilization’ level, today corresponding to ‘become modernized’. It was only natural that this new policy covered the music area. The new Republic, adopting the principles of liberty, justice, equality and solidarity of the French Revolution, and that was obtained as a result of the national will, had culture, arts and education policies had a nationalist approach.

  • 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.
