| description | Makâm can be identified as the main mechanism for melodic construction regarding musical genres in Anatolia and neighboring geographies. This paper aims to define the concept of makâm within a music practice-based approach, constructed on the idea of a melodic nucleus, giving the specific melodic characteristic and the sound of the makâm. All the makâm structures in the paper are described in a modular system developed by the connection of several melodic nuclei to each other following a specific melodic pattern/formula based on different functions attributed to the pitches gathered in the specific pitch-group of the given makâm and resulting in a differentiatable sound which is reflected by this pattern. To demonstrate this approach, various musical examples based on two major families of makâm in Anatolian music history and Turkish music – namely hüseynî and uşşâk – have been analyzed and an attempt to discover the main melodic patterns giving the specific melodic characteristics to the members of these makâm families was made. Then these melodic patterns or the melodic nuclei were
expressed in generic formulas representing the specific melodic functionalities of the pitches through which the melody is constructed. Afterwards, the possible ways of combining a single melodic nucleus with other melodic nuclei within a modular framework were investigated, to see how the basic melody evolved into a more complex one, sustaining the specific colors of the melodic nuclei it is composed of. Finally, the makâm structures that can be categorized under hüseynî and uşşâk families were discussed further to reveal their specific melodic characteristics differentiating them from the other category members. |
