Turkish Classical Music

Turkish Classical Music is a refined and deeply expressive genre rooted in the Ottoman court tradition, blending rich makam-based melodies with intricate rhythmic structures. Characterized by the use of traditional instruments like the oud, ney, kanun, and tanbur, it balances improvisation (taksim) with structured compositions. Artists in this genre emphasize emotional depth, ornamentation, and precise modal transitions, creating a meditative and sophisticated listening experience. Incorporating both vocal and instrumental performances, it continues to evolve while preserving its historical essence.
