Abstract

Turkish Folk Music, one of our traditional music genres, differs from other traditional music types with its unique structure. Its maqam structure and musical attitude make this music have a special resonance. For this reason, these features make Turkish Folk Music suitable for polyphony and harmonic accompaniment. The researcher performed harmonization and accompaniment studies on some selected Turkish Folk Music works in this study to give the artworks a deeper variety of colors and different expressions. Although the researcher gives examples on the piano instrument, one can obtain similar results by transferring the chords of the study to other instruments. In this study, the researcher emphasized different approaches from simple chords to alternative harmonization in selected Turkish Folk Music works, and within the framework of this perspective, he tried to obtain deeper colors and a completely different depth on the tones (resonance) of the artworks.
