GENERAL INFORMATIONS: The wind instruments
have developed compared to the string instrumens
these are relatively older in all parts of the
world. They go as far back as the Antiquity. A
bone without marrow, an empty horn or piece of
reed gives a sound when it's blown.
Among the wind instruments, the "kaval" appears
as the oldest and most common example. I is
interesting that this is used as a shepherd
instrument in the Mediterranean countries.
"Dilli Duduk", which is a type of kaval, is
known as a chilren's instruments.
among the historical wind instruments, the
"zurna" is also found widely in the
Mediterranean countries and even in most parts
of the world in various lenths and shapes. This
instrument is called "surnay" and also "Nay-i
Turki" in Persian, Belonging in this group of
instruments, various types such a the "boru",
kaval, "double kaval", "tulum" and zurna have
developed spreading from one country to the
other through various means.
The
"Ney", which holds an important place in
religious music is made of a king of reed. The
ney, which is made up of nine (9) short nodes.,
takes on different names according to its size
and holes.
Ney
is still the most important used in Classical
Turkish Music and especiallyin Mevlevi Music in
Turkiye. The great Turkish philosopher Mevlana
Jelaleddin Rumi beginshis famous "Mesnevi" with
the following lines:
"Listen to the sound of the ney: Listen how its
expressing itself and complaining about home-sickness".
Althought the ney is one of the oldest
instruments, the Turks have played an important
role in its recent development.
Among the wind instruments, the one producing
the most sentimental and the most effective
sound is the ney. Made of natural reed, the
simple-looking nev offers a rich choice of
melodies. It has a touhing, spiritual sounds.
We
know very well that the wind instruments, too,
developed as they are moved from one country to
another by various means, just like other
instruments, or that they are transformed into
simpler forms such as the duduk sometimes they
are even transformed into different types and
create a rather complex situation by taking on
new names in various languages. Thus while doing
a research about instruments. The dates of their
names of their types, and spreading around of
these often come up as aproblem.
