Prolongation in Turkish Classical Music
This is the poster presentation I gave at the Society for Music Theory’s annual meeting, on Nov 8, 2024. I discuss the idea of prolongation of pitches in a scale as they progress towards a goal tone. I discuss makam Hüseyni in this video, but this concept applies to any makam. Please like and leave comments!

      Yeah, I'm also wanting more, but grateful for the offerings that are given. There is very little easy clear explanation of the inner workings of Makam translated for the English speaker and with assisted comments for the western ear. I've attempted to get into Makam for over three years and only now after some persistence am starting to understand it. Videos like these help a lot. Very clear and concise, thank you!

    BRO I SWEAR I've been going crazy over my tuning ever since I started learning oud because even if I tune each string to absolute perfection with the electronic tuner when I play the semitones are not at the same height in all the strings. I can't believe none of the other UA-cam channels mentioned this, it seems this is the case for any non-tempered instrument so it's not something unique to turkish/ottoman music. Wish I had found this channel before and thank god I bought a turkish oud on sale a few weeks ago because that's how I came across this channel, my first oud is arabic.

    • @mattmorelli9833
      @mattmorelli9833 9 місяців тому

      I'm working on a totally new, microtonal turkish/american jazz fusion sound. I recently got some software that allows me to play microtones on my digital grand piano, and I'm experimenting with turkish scales laid over traditionally american jazz chord progressions. Your tutorials help me sound a bit more "legit" when writing melody lines for kanun and duduk, and it also helps me build piano chords that pair well under those melodies. ​@alidenizoguz6228

    Though actually the "büyük / küçük mücenneb" intervals better translate to "greater / smaller neutral steps". Historically that's what they are. Yalçın Tura complains about the fact that Maqam Rast is performed too much like a major scale or the Systematist's Ushshaq scale (which is called Çargah in the Arel-Ezgi theory, not at all related to maqam Uşşak), causing it to lose its identity. He argues that the third in Rast is supposed to be flatter than a single comma flat (that is, the 5/4 natural third at 386 cents or about 17 Holdrian commas), but not as flat as the Arabic quartertone. The dügah-segah interval ought to be a wide neutral interval (11/10 or about 165-170 cents is the largest size he deems acceptable) rather than a minor tone (10/9, 182 cents.) for it to be a sequence of T-K-S rather than T-T-B intervals.

    • @Zaphod313
      @Zaphod313 8 місяців тому

      The intonation of the Segâh note is a matter of longstanding debate in makam music. The Rast of the modern AEU theory is actually identical to the Systematists' Rast, for all intents and purposes. It's no accident: AEU is based on Rauf Yekta's 24-tone model, which is in turn based on the Systematist school. 17 Holdrian commas is extremely close to the schismatic 8192/6561 third (Pythagorean diminished fourth), which the Systematists used for Rast. Whether historical practice ever conformed to this model is still an open question. However, Turkish academic performances are nowadays certainly very close. The sonic identity of the Turkish Rast has changed to such an extent that many Turkish musicians or classical music aficionados from "elite society" cannot hide their disdain for certain performers because of how flat their third in Rast is. They feel that this aesthetic belongs to the Arabs and the low brow arabesk genre.

    • @Zaphod313
      @Zaphod313 8 місяців тому

      The greater undecimal neutral second at 11/10 is very well approximated by the 10 moria interval of the 72 EDO subset used on Turkish kanuns. I believe that it is often used for the interval between Dügâh and Segâh in Rast. Personally, I am almost always drawn to this interval when playing Rast on the oud, except in pieces with a strongly implied major harmony or many suspended cadences on Segâh, wherein I tend to gravitate upwards to 10/9.

    • @turkishudlessons7553
      @turkishudlessons7553 Рік тому

      You can tune by tuner. Many people do. The issue is that tuners are chromatic, which means that fourths and fifths are not pure. It is better to tune the fourths of the oud strings using pure Pythagorean fourths.
