The Common Elements and Interaction Between Turkish-Arabic Music Cultures

Summary/Abstract: Although the historical and religious interaction between Turks and Arabs started with the XIII. Century, the beginning point of a musical interaction only goes back to the first quarter of the XVI century. Therefore, Turkish Music which has acquired many musical elements from Central Asia, Anatolia, İran and Middle East and Arabic Music has been interacting nearly for the last four centuries. Arabic and Turkish Music systems have substantial parallelisms especially in the senses of melodies, makam and usûl structures. In spite of the various differences in the pre-Islamic musical traditions of the two societies, they have many similarities in the post-Islamic period. Especially the forms and themes that have been used in Cami Music can be considered as common. In this study; a brief history of Turkish-Arabic Music will be discussed including the stylistic periods, the instants of critical changes and the interaction between the other musical cultures. Besides, the common forms, themes, instruments and makam-usûl structures in Turkish-Arabic Music will be concentrated.
