A REVIEW ON TWO CORUM FOLK SONG BASED ON A COMMON STORY

Summary/Abstract: This study is about the examination of two elegy folk songs compiled by Ankara State Conservatory in 1939 from Çorum. The first folk song is a folk song compiled from Alacahöyük and was recorded with the name "Mehmet Ağıdı". But today it is more known as “Hem okudum hemi de yazdım”. The second is a folk song compiled from Osmancık and was recorded under the name "Hacı Hamza". But today it is more known by the name "El veriyor el veriyor". First of all, the stories of these folk songs, which have diversified and formed variants in the Çorum region, were evaluated, and then these folk songs were discussed in the context of formal analysis and musical structure. The sets were taken from the compilation slips and the notes published by TRT. Musical analysis has been realized through the paradigm of makam and usul, which is the basis of Turkish music. The similarities and divergences of both songs, which are considered in the order-pitch-navigation triangle, while being evaluated on the basis of the melody organization. Rhythmic structure organizations, which is a current problem, are defined with reference to the new method approach brought to folk music in folk music products. The differences that arise in the folk songs that were created in the oral culture environment and turned into a collective memory object in the community memory show themselves especially in the forms of expression suitable for the local language, in the process of variation experienced during the transmission in different times and grounds. In the musical context, the fact that it is surrounded by a sound universe bearing traces of the historical makam tradition in terms of local character reveals the deep and widespread feature of lament songs in time-space association.
