@article{2016,title={PHILIP GLASS AT THE BORDERS OF CLASSICAL AND ACTUAL AND THOUGHTS ABOUT TURKISH MUSIC},abstractNode={At the last two hundred years Turkish Makam/Maqam Music has been in interaction with Western Music and that will go on. The world which is bounded with cross-cultural interaction today is a field open to the birth of metis cultures. This is a natural result of westernization but now we should be active and produce ideas and collaborate actively to this transformation and decide what and how to get from Western Music culture. It has been thought that analyzing Philip Glass can be beneficial in many reasons. One of the reasons is that he is a composer who uses tampered and tonal system. As Turkish Makam Music uses some non-tempered sounds that can be seen as wrong but there is still too much new things to do with tonal and tempered system. His sound is different from the sound of the period between 1600-1900 which sounds too much typically Western Christian and Western European and that can bring new dimensions. His open being to the non-western world makes him closer. In the album that he produced with Ravi Shankar, they have used Ragas and western harmony together and that makes an important example on that way. The similarity between ragas and makam system makes the album more interesting for Turkish Makam Music. He is one of the starters of a new musical movement which is minimalism but at the same time he keeps a line between past and now by interacting with Bach or by using an old form like chaconne from the Baroque period. As he has used his repetitive structures moderately during his career now he has a personal and more consonant style and structure. If we want to build up the future of Turkish Makam Music with western polyphony we should analyze Philip Glass and his music.},author={Togay ŞENALP},year={2016},journal={Kesit Akademi}}
