Özet
Folk songs have been the interpreter of all religious and non-religious feelings of Turkish people. While subjects such as heroism, wars, death, love, infatuation, falling apart are expressed by minstrels in every region, sometimes religious texts, mystical themes and “Alevi-Bektaşi” discourses are the subject of folk songs. These elements, which are an important factor in shaping social life as well as their religious dimension, found their place in Amasya folk songs. The folk songs, which are accepted as the living memory of a society, thanks to both written and verbal transmissions, are among the most important historical and socio-cultural riches of the region they live in, with their subjects, contents and messages to future generations. When the folk songs of Amasya are examined thematically, the songs about separation, love and infatuation take the first place. In addition, there are also folk songs with the theme of lament and works with the character of semah. The importance of folk music, minstrels, religious and linguistic features in the transmission of oral culture is indisputable. Because folk songs are passed down from generation to generation, from heart to ear, just like tradition. In this study, the “Alevi-Bektaşi” elements in Amasya folk songs are examined, and the musical analyzes of the identified folk songs are also included in the study. Among the main sources used in the study are the TRT Turkish Folk Music archive, the Amasya Folk Songs CD prepared by the TRT Music Department, and the "Amasya Folk Songs" book published by the Amasya Municipality. In the study, about 40 Amasya folk songs were examined and the “Alevi-Bektaşi” elements in these folk songs were discussed in the findings section. © 2023, Nilgun SAZAK. All rights reserved.
