What is the specialty of classical Turkish music:
Polyphonic music activities expanded in Turkey after the declaration of the republic. Under Ataturk’s directives, Turkey began to move towards Western music to take advantage of its global artistic features and techniques, and these steps began to move towards Western music by modernizing the contemporary musical instruments used, to be a base in the work and efforts to develop contemporary and popular Turkish music, and advance it to high levels. Students were sent abroad to study world music, and senior professors were brought to the country to teach in conservatories
Such as Joseph Marx, Paul Hendersmith, Karl Ebert and Bella Bartok.
The main instrument of Turkish music is the tanbur. As an example of the rest of the playing instruments that are used, there are the ney, the kamancha, the lute, the qanun, the rebab, the centaur, and the violin that play melodies, and percussion instruments such as the circle, the tambourine, the qadam, and the khalila.
Classical Turkish music is divided into two main branches in terms of subject matter, religious and non-religious music. Religious music consists of mosque music that depends only on the human voice, and takaya music in which various instruments are also used. Religious music is also of two types, vocal music and instrumental music. Vocal music is more prevalent than instrumental music, and it is intertwined with Divan literature. All types are characterized by their own templates.
Basically Turkish music is maqam music, and there are hundreds of maqams. The Rhytm templates, which are called "assets", are very diverse. The vocal system is the characteristic that distinguishes Turkish music. Sub-vocals, not found in Western music, are the original elements of the Turkish music sound system. This mode gives Turkish music, with its monophonic sound, unlimited movement and richness in melody
