İsmail Dede and Zekāi Dede are two great musicians who have contributed to the enrichment
of the Classical Turkish Music Repertoire with their many works in many genres. They have
been at the forefront of the main sources from which this repertoire has survived to the present
day. Although there are many people with the title of “Dede” in Classical Turkish Music, the
only person known as “Dede Efendi” is İsmail Dede who left his mark on the first half of the
19th century; Zekāi Dede, on the other hand, left his mark on the second half of the century as
one of the few people known as “Hodja” (Hoca). In addition to their current talents, the musical
understanding of the Mawlawī sect, to which they are deeply attached, played an important role
in the success of both Dedes in the art of music. İsmail Dede and Zekāi Dede’s existence in the
19th century, was the occasion for the Ottoman Empire, which was on the verge of collapse in
almost every respect, to achieve a magnificent victory in the field of music in this century. Our
study includes information on the lives, mystical aspects and musicianships of İsmail Dede and
Zekāi Dede, who made great contributions to the development and spread of Turkish Music
with the works they composed, the students they trained, the classical repertoire they conveyed
together with their styles and their evaluations.
