The Interplay of Ottoman Music and Poetry: A Study of Melodic Inspirations in Divan Literature

Overview

The interrelation between Ottoman music and poetry, especially in Divan literature, opens a new angle for investigating how artistic disciplines find their place in Classical Turkish Literature. This article elucidates the interaction between these two art forms and evaluates how melodic inspirations informed poetic structures, themes, and expressions. Current research focuses on seeking new meanings for multi-dimensional aspects of classical poetry in Turkish literature for the period of Ottomans, which are most actively represented in Divan literature. This interdisciplinary work enriches our knowledge of classical Turkish literature by making it a connector for the Ottoman cultural and artistic environment. The study thus underlines the synesthetic harmony that characterized Ottoman artistic expression and adds to our understanding of its cultural depth by examining the mutual influences of music and poetry. The methodology followed is a comparative analysis of poetic texts and musical compositions from the Ottoman period. This study attempts to discover how poets have placed music within their texts using key examples, such as musical motifs in poetic couplets, rhythm, and melody. Beyond that, the play of these arts can be interpreted holistically, drawing on other disciplines like musicology and cultural studies. According to the study, musicality in Ottoman poetry reflects broader cultural and philosophical thinking, incorporating ideas about time, emotion, and transcendence. Therefore,
This research will contribute to a deeper understanding of the syncretic creativity that characterized Ottoman cultural heritage.
