19. Yüzyılda Görülen Batılılaşmanın 20. Yüzyıla Tesiri: Dârü’l-Elhân Örneği
The Effect of the 19th Century Westernization to the 20th Century: Sample of Dârü’l-Elhân

Summary/Abstract: In the process that started with the Tanzimat edict in the first half of the 19th century, the reforms and innovations made especially in the fields of politics, military and education had important effects on the Ottoman music culture. In the emergence of these effects, the educational institutions established instead of the traditional palace school Enderun and the Mûzikâ-yı Hümâyun, which was established instead of the Mehterhâne-i Hümâyûn, are also accepted as the beginning of the change in music culture. Especially as a result of the termination of the activities of the institutions where traditional music education and performance is carried out and the creation of Mûzikâ-yı Hümâyun, the westernization and the beginning of the performance of Western music in an institutional style represents an important change. As a result of this change in the first quarter of the 19th century, Western music performing and composing became widespread towards the end of the century, especially in the palace and its surroundings. In the face of the widespread and institutional performance of Western music at this level, institutionalization efforts have also emerged in Turkish music circles. In this study, the change and transformation in Turkish music will be tried to be explained through the institutional structure and education system of Dârü’l-elhân, which was established in the early 20th century as a result of the change that started in the 19th century.
