Summary/Abstract: The main subject of this study is the two musical works composed by Zekai Dede, considered to be the last representative of the Classical Era in the Turkish Music, in the theme of Dilkeş-Hâverân. A detailed analysis has been carried out in this study on the theme of Dilkeş-Hâverân, which is rarely used nowadays, and on the forms of Ağır Semai and Yürük Semai, which are the old types of Turkish Music and which are not currently sought after by composers, in order to provide useful information to researchers. This article intents to introduce the life of Zekai Dede as a composer, his position in the Classical Turkish Music and, his composition focusing on the two different types of works he has composed. Moreover, the theme of Dilkeş-Hâverân has been explained using the descriptions of various theorists in the music books called “edvar” from the 15th century.
