EXAMINATION OF EXECUTION TECHNIQUE IN EKREM CELEBI'S "SARI YAZMA"

Abstract

It is known that the abdals, who are known to be an important cultural carrier from the past to the present, play an important role in Anatolian cultural and artistic activities. The fact that they live in mutual interaction by adopting the local culture of the regions they live in creates their own spheres of existence, while at the same time ensuring the realization of cultural transfer. In the realization of the transfer; Although the effect of the abdal society's own internal dynamism is seen, there are also carriers who do not have abdal identity. In this context, Ekrem Çelebi, who has an important place in Central Anatolian traditional music, is one of the important people who direct the local music with his unique performance style. Ekrem Çelebi, who does not have the identity of Abdal but has made important contributions to the transfer of a deep-rooted culture by growing up in the same culture, also reveals his own attitude and style with the techniques he added to the traditional baglama performance.

Çelebi's unique performance style and the works he produced in the traditional context are the most important aspects that make him valuable. Therefore, in this study, it is aimed to introduce Ekrem Çelebi by giving information about his life and to determine his performance style by analyzing the elements that determine his performance style, the baglama he used, the tuning system, ornamentation and plectrum techniques. The method of the study was carried out with the statistical methods used in data collection, analysis and analysis. While making these evaluations, some techniques used in Central Anatolian traditional music, "Performance Technique in the Cover (chest) Area", "Broken Chord" and "Reverse Plectrum" were suggested as a new nomenclature.
