Abstract

The mother makes some actions to silence her baby and put the baby to sleep. Lullaby, one of the most important of these actions, has a very special place in the mother-baby relationship. In this study, the lullaby phenomenon of Anatolia, the effects of lullabies that are identified with the mother's voice are aimed to be addressed musically and verbally. The lullabies, which are sung to put the baby to sleep, are a cultural element with a deep impact. In Anatolian culture, the concept of the lullaby, which is an oral literature product of Folk Literature and mostly anonymous, was used in Traditional Turkish Music under the main title "lyric folk songs”. The mother wants to relieve the baby with sincere feelings, to facilitate the transition to sleep, and to relieve any ache and pain. For this reason, she applies to music. In addition to singing anonymous lullabies, the mother can also sing a lullaby as she comes from within. There are also lullabies composed. The first lullabies written in the Sumerians, which started the ages of Mesopotamia since B.C. 4000s, are seen. In the first line of this lullaby, there is an expression suggesting that it is sung with melody. Divanü Lügat-it Turk, which is accepted as the first Turkish dictionary, is referred to as “balu balu’. This shows that the phenomenon of lullaby has gained an important place in our culture since ancient times. Lullabies have explained many subjects in terms of their content. Lullabies are shaped according to the feelings that the mother sees, lives and feels. The mothers who conveyed the words to the emotion through music bring together the lullabies in lyrical structure. Lullabies, which are folk songs from the voices of the mothers who lived in these lands with disappeared names and lullabies with known composer and lyrics-writer were taken to TRT note archive. Therefore, to examine these valuable works from a musical point of view, the TRT note archive was utilized and some evaluations were made. Lullaby arouses in the mother's voice. Such that the effect of this sound for centuries has preserved the existence of lullaby so far. In this study, the musical analysis deriving from the examples based on the notes taken from Anatolian lullabies and evaluations of whether or not the effects of the mother's voice on the baby are included.
