COMPUTER AIDED MODEL IN MAQAMIC ANALYSIS

Turkey is an important country that keeps the modal music culture. In this respect, there is a large study area for music researchers. Spatial analysis is often used as a superficial interpretation by listening to a melody or looking at its note. However, in today's technology age, it is necessary to reach more clear and precise results in such analyzes. In this sense, it is inevitable to use computer aided software. In this study, the frequency of use of pitches, which constitute seven different makams, has been calculated meticulously. In calculating the data, MusicXML and SQL query languages were used and pitch time value distributions were obtained. On the basis of the data obtained, the compatibility and incompatibilities between theory and practice were examined. Incompatibility of theory and practice has been observed in some maqams
