"A CORPUS STUDY ON RHYTHMIC MODES IN TURKISH MAKAM MUSIC AND
THEIR INTERACTION WITH METER"
The rhythmic framework for composition in Turkish makam music is based
upon a set of patterns of left and right hand strokes, referred to as
usul. A stroke pattern of an usul is assigned a length by counting the
number of beats within the slowest regular sequence that coincides with
each stroke of the usul. Educational practice in Turkish makam music
emphasizes the importance of internalization of the usually
non-isochronous stroke patterns of an usul for the understanding of a
piece. On the other hand, counting the regular beat sequence that
determines the length of the usul plays no role at all. For these
reasons it is an interesting question how the note onsets and durations
within these compositions are related to the stroke patterns of the
usul. To this end, I conducted a study on a large corpus of notated
songs of Turkish makam music. This enables me to explore differences
between the ways Turkish makam music and Eurogenetic music shape meter,
and to investigate rhythmic style in Turkish makam music for changes
between historical periods.
This talk will be an extended version of a presentation given
at the Jahreskongress der Gesellschaft fÃŒr Musiktheorie, Berlin,Germany.
