A STUDY OF THE BLACK SEA FOLK SONGS WITH THE FLUTE PRACTICE

Abstract

This study aims to explain how the flute is used and adapted to the folk songs that belong to the Black Sea region and it intends to investigate the folk songs in terms of melodic and structural characteristics as well as being able to play these songs with flute and being able to put them in the curriculum of the instititions which provide education of music. In this descriptive study -done with the method of quantitive research - content analysis has been made. Vocal Black Sea folk songs–expressed in TRT repertoire and in the other resources-and 10 folks songs-chosen from the region and studied by the experts in terms of flute availability- are included in this study as a research population and a sample. As it is required for the flute, folk songs adapted to the tamperemen system were performed using professional notation programme. Besides this; folk songs which were adapted to the flute techniques were notated. On the other hand; the types and levels of the folk songs were determined and evaluated- taking the related outcomes into account- by the experts in the fine arts high school. The findings were defined and interpreted. It has been found that using folk songs will be functional while developing the flute technique and its outcomes.
