The New Music Forms added to Turkish Music with Tanzimat and the Theory-Practice Dilemma of These Forms

Tanzimat, the plural of word tanzim, has been used in the meaning of “regulate, put in order, reform and re-organize civil administration”. Civil reform program and the implemented period which issued by Sultan Abdülmecid Han (1839-1861) is called as “Tanzimat Period”. It is known that innovation made in civil administration as well as made in many areas. However, to limit the beginning of this reformist movement from Tanzimat period is not very realistic. This reformist movement can reduce the period of Sultan III. Selim Han (1789-1807) and Sultan II. Mahmut Han (1808-1839) especially for music which is one of the section of art. This reformist movement is an outstanding act in many areas such as maqam-mode (makam), tempo-rhythm (usul), repertoire, theory, music writing, and music forms. Turkish music forms have been described after combining classical rules with the data obtained after examining the works. In fact, it would be more accurate to say that Turkish music is not a form performed that is applied on the rules but the rules applied on this music. In this study, by putting forward used new Turkish music forms and the rules explained on these types to what extent overlap with the work especially with the start of innovative movement will be evaluated within the theory-practice dilemma. Also, some New Turkish music form samples will be played during the presentation
