- Abstract
Cemil Bey, who has an important place in the history of Turkish music with his performance of Tanbur, is a name that became a school with his performances in instruments such as classical kemençe, stringed tanbur, cello and lavta. Cemil Bey, who made his name accepted by the music community in many instruments, should be especially emphasized on the tanbur popularized with his name (Tanburi Cemil Bey). Performing the tanbur with plentiful plectrum, many instrument, rapid tune and in addition to this, using the middle strings, has led to the emergence of an unusual new attitude. However, Cemil Bey has inspired future generations by creating unique works under the title of instrumental music, which is one of the forms of Turkish music. Another instrument that Cemil Bey performed masterfully after the tanbûr is the kemence. Cemil Bey, especially influenced by Kemenceci Vasilaki, started to play this instrument. He performed the series tunes with lots of instrument and plectrum, which he made in the tanbûr, on this instrument as well. During and after Tanbûri Cemil Bey's period, Kemence was first used in folk and classical music. The oldest sound recordings of the kemence in Turkish Music belong to Cemil Bey. Since Cemil Bey lived in the period when stone records were used, many recordings have survived to the present day. Since there was no record of the kemence before Cemil Bey, it was necessary to investigate Cemil Bey first. The cello, a stringed instrument of Western origin, met our music through Musika-i Hümayun. With the establishment of the Musika-i Hümayun in 1828, various western-based instruments came to our country. While the cello, one of these instruments, has been used in the West since the 16th century, it took the 19th century to be included in Turkish music. Despite this, it has been accepted very quickly in our music due to its long voice and bass character. However, Cemil Bey, who used the violoncello for the first time in our music, attracted attention with his performances in the cello and contributed greatly to the Turkish music performance ensembles of this instrument. The cello is used in Turkish Music to provide bass fullness. Today, Cello is widely used in Turkish music executive committees. Cemil Bey is the one who made the biggest contribution to the formation of this situation. As in the kemence, the oldest sound recordings for the cello belong to Cemil Bey. Cemil Bey, who was aware of the lack of sound in Turkish music performances at that time, was the first performer to use the cello in Turkish music. Cemil Bey performed only taksim with the cello in his records. Cemil Bey took care to stay in the style of Turkish music in his performances and displayed a unique attitude. Performance analysis in Turkish music has been the subject of many studies. By analyzing the sound recordings of master performers such as Cemil Bey (Nevres Bey, Mes'ud Cemil Bey, Nubar Tekyay...) the makam structure and richness of our music can be comprehended more deeply. In this study, first of all, the descriptions of the Bestenigar makam in various theory books were mentioned, and then it was examined how Cemil Bey performed the makam in the kemence and cello taksims in the Bestenigar makam. In addition, the dictated taksims were analyzed and compared technically and melodically. The ornamentation techniques, bow technique, positions used, makam and navigational understanding in the Bestenigar kemence and cello taksims are examined. Thus, the similarities and differences between Cemil Bey's two performances have been tried to be embodied through analyzes.
