İcra ve notasyon farklılığı bağlamında iki Rumeli türküsünün usûl açısından incelenmesi

This research article aims to pay attention to the differences between the performance and notation of two Rumelian folk songs, “Şahane Gözler Şahane” and “Köşküm Var Deryaya Karşı” which are notated in Sofyan and/or Nim Sofyan usûl in official music archives or other web-based archives, but are performed with rhythms outside these usûls by professional musicians. The objective is to contribute to researchers working in this field. Although these pieces are sometimes referred to as songs in terms of form, the term *folk song* is predominantly used in literary works, so this study also adopts the term “folk song”. The notation for both pieces is provided, and examples of performances using various rhythms within this context are presented for comparative analysis in the findings part. It has been observed that the performances of both folk songs, while not adhering to the prescribed modes in the existing notations, partially incorporate rhythms associated with the Nim Sofyan/Sofyan usûl. However, the performances also include three-beat accents that align with the lyrical structure. Therefore, a notation proposal is suggested to address and reconcile the differences between the notation and performance of these two pieces, which have been re-notated to reflect a rhythm sequence that is consistent with the lyrical structure, thereby addressing the issue from the perspective in terms of time in the works.
