Abstract

Stevan Mokranjac, who is among the founders of Serbian national music, came with the Belgrade Choral Society to Ottoman lands to give a concert in 1895, during the reign of Sultan Abdulhamid II. Mokranjac’s visit is important both in terms of presenting the developments in Western music area in Ottoman Empire as well as showing the diplomatic interactions of the two countries in relation to music. In this concerts it is observed that the Western music performance and composition practices that the Ottomans initiated during 19. century were adopted by the Serbian musicians. Moreover, the constructional similarities and interactions in institutionalization of Western music in both countries takes attention.This article aims to reveal the Ottoman-Serbian musical interaction, about which no specific research was not traced, in line with the composer, musician, conductor Stevan Mokranjac, who is not very well known in Turkish music history, and Belgrad Choral Society’s Istanbul visit through the support of historical documents obtained by archival research. ÖzetSırp ulusal müziğinin kurucularından Stevan Mokranjac, Belgrad Koro Topluluğu’yla birlikte 1895 yılında, Sultan II. Abdülhamid’in hükümdarlığı döneminde konser vermek üzere Osmanlı topraklarına gelmiştir. Mokranjac’in bu ziyareti hem Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nda Batı müziği alanındaki gelişmeleri gözler önüne sermek hem de iki ülke arasındaki diplomatik ilişkilerin müzik bağlamında etkileşimini göstermek bakımından önemlidir. Bu konserlerde Osmanlı’nın 19. yüzyılda temellerini attığı Batı müziği icra ve yaratı geleneklerinin Sırp müzisyenlerce adapte edildiği gözlemlenmiştir. Ayrıca iki ülkenin Batı müziği yapılanmasındaki kurumsal benzerlikler ve etkileşimler dikkat çekmektedir.Bu makale, bugüne kadar hakkında hiç yayın tespit edilememiş Osmanlı-Sırp müzik ilişkilerini, yine Türk müzik tarihinde tanınmayan ve araştırılmamış besteci, müzisyen, şef Stevan Mokranjac’ın korosuyla İstanbul ziyareti düzleminde, konuyla ilgili tarihsel belgeleri arşiv çalışması ile ortaya koyarak gözler önüne sermeyi hedeflemektedir.
