Abdülbaki Gölpınarlı’dan Derlenen Bektaşi Nefeslerinin Makam ve Form Açısından İncelenmesi

Abstract

Bektashi Belief System that was developed basing on the symbol of Hacı Bektaş Veli had extensively affected Anatolian culture in terms of philosophy, social life and arts after the XVth Century. Music has come forward as the main cultural transmission agent of this belief system. Therefore, many forms and genres of music engaged with the Bektashi Culture have enabled a merging of the belief principles with the social life. Due to the decreasing effect of Bektashi belief during the XIX. century, those musical examples remained as the sole identification element for this social phenomena in the following period. As a result this study regarding the Bektashi breaths compiled from Abdülbaki Gölpınarlı-one of the important personalities of the final period of the Bektashi belief-can have a great impact in remembering the cultural heritage of this Anatolian based belief system.
