ON THE NAME "12 MAKAM"

Abstract

Uyghur people (Uyghur Turkish) have a masterpiece named "12 makam" (Oniki mukam). There are different opinions about the historical names of Makam/muqam, the origin of makam culture, 12 figures of Makam, and the influential relationship between 12 horoscopes and the Makam. Some researchers believe that the terms of makam belong to Farabi and Ibn-i Sina, while others hold the opinions that those terms of makam was used in the 13th Century by a great musician, Safiyudin Urmevi. In fact, the term of makam initially was used by Abdulkadir Mergali in 1418. “Edvar”, “ daire”, “ devir”, “ shudud” terms were used before the term “ makam” was used in eastern music. The strange situation is that “makam” term was recorded as “12 Makam” frequently, even though the numbers of makam consist more than 12 melody types. The main reason of this condition is that the horoscopy includes 12 types, but later researchers claimed that horoscopy may not be limited as 12, it might be more than 12 types. These researches show that the originality of the name of “makam” could be investigated with the assistance of astronomy, astrology, religion, mythology and philosophy. The main aim of this article is to investigate the historical origin of “makam”, and “12 Makam”, especially focus on the cultural origin and myths of 12 figures in “12 Makam”.
