"The Characteristics of the Music of Asia Minor
Greeks and the Effects of “Population Exchange” in Greek Music: A Comparative
Approach"
[Paper
presented in English, with musical illustrations]
This study is an examination of some of the roots of
the today’s Greek Music in the region of Anatolia. The work starts with a brief
overview of the subject of the “makam”, on which the main content of this paper
will be based. In this section the musical and the spiritual theory of the
“makam” concept will be discussed. These discussion will be concluded with
musical examples from Turkish music and Anatolian based Smyrnaika and Politika.
After that, we will offer historical and geographical
observations on the exchange of Greek and Turkish populations in 1923, which
will help to locate the roots of the musical influences extending from Anatolia
to Greece.
The research will continue by a comparative study of
today’s Greek Music and the Greek Music before 1923. This stage of the paper
will concentrate on the observable application differences of the “makam”
theory in Greek Music in the past 100 years. The study will conclude with a
discussion of the possible effects of the Anatolian Music on today’s Greek
Music after 1923 in terms of “makam” applications.
