A Study on Compilation of Religious Musical Works: The Case of Anatolia and Balkans
Abstract
Compilation of religious musical works is a survey that needs to be implemented promptly. In order to carry out such a survey, a connection is to be established between the last representatives of a great civilization and the modern members of the same society. To forge a link between these two groups of people is an incumbent upon the people of today. If we cannot derive the musical culture from the last representatives of this great civilization this musical and cultural heritage will be lost forever. In this respect source persons are of great importance in this process. They preseve the heritage in their memories. Other cultural assets such as; mosques, bridges and books can be restored decades later whereas the oral tradition and musical culture living in the memories of source persons gets lost in such a time. The lifetime of source persons comes out as a significant criteria in the urgency and importance of the issue. As a result, collection of oral tradition and musical culture has a higher ranking of importance among the other cultural assets beforementioned. In this study rules and methods of compiling religious musical works will be examined.
