TÜRK MÜZİK FOLKLORUNDA ŞİİR, MÛSİKÎ VE RAKSIN TARİHİ BİRLİKTELİĞİ

Özet

Turkish music folklore has gone on being one of the fields that the studies have been done sufficiently on it. The matter on the association of poem and music in Turkish music culture has not been reviewed naturally too much. When the history of Turkish culture is considered, it will be seen that this association started firstly in the religious-mystic persons' ceremonies that they are named as Shamanist. Moreover, this association has got a third factor that it is dance. Belly dances belonging to Shamanists comprise the third section of this association. When it is reviewed, it will be seen that Shamanists are the oldest poets in Turkish history, and also they are music lovers and folk dancers. The old performance tradition that poem, music and belly dance were performed together wasn't destroyed as Turks accepted Islam. The association between poem, music and belly dance didn't end in Shamanist or Kam ceremonies from the date but it changed its essence and it gone on its performance. As a result that there was an increase in the number of sufic ecoles such as Mevleviyeh and Alawism-Bektashism in Turkish-Islam world especially as following thirteenth century, this triple association gone on as getting into the different channel. While poem,music and belly dance provide “Mevlevi Heaven Ceremony” properly to Mevleviyeh customs within the frame of the sufic tradition; “Alawite-Bektashi Heaven Ceremony” took with poem and music within the frame of Alawite-Bektashi tradition. Lovers showed up as additional to the sufic movement from XVI. century and within the frame of devotion tradition, people started to perform their poems with their withe which were not about the religion. The association of poem and music would be only mentioned differently in the art of lovers. They made poem and music in a complete nature except from belly dance as they separated from the triple association with the declination in rituals.
