@article{2019,title={MAKAM ANALYSIS OF THE MUSICAL PIECES OF HÜSEYIN SADETTIN AREL COMPOSED IN THE DURAK FORM},abstractNode={Hüseyin Sadettin Arel, who made significant contributions to Classical Turkish Music both with his theoretical studies and his compositions, composed numerous works in the form of Durak, which is one of the important forms of Turkish Religious Music. Considering that the Durak form is performed in the form of free performance, it is noteworthy that the duraks composed by Arel constitute the first musical note forms. Arel, one of the most important theorists, musicologists and composers of the 19th century contributed greatly to the Durak form in terms of quality and number with his 111 new durak compositions, examples of which were few in Classical Turkish Religious Music. Arel not only exhibited his theoretical knowledge in these works, but also turned them into permanent artistic works. In the study, 23 out 108 musical pieces of Hüseyin Sadettin Arel (currently available in TRT repertoire) were identified to have the highest maqam transition in this regard following maqam analysis. The musical pieces were analyzed according to Arel-Ezgi-Uzdilek theory system. A total of 80 musical transitions were identified in the 23 durak forms examined within the scope of the study. It was observed that the transitions were frequently made based on the transposition technique (up or down). It was concluded that the Hicaz transition was the highest transition used in these pieces following Acemaşiran Çargâh and Uşşak, Nim Hicâz Segâh, Hüseyni, Şedaraban, Nevâ Uşşak and Zirgüleli Sûznâk.},author={Okyay TAŞKIN-Burcu AVCI AKBEL},year={2019},journal={Turkish Studies-Educational Sciences}}
