  1. Usul (music)

    citations missing date January 2011 otheruses Usul disambiguation In Ottoman classical music , usul is an underlying rhythm ic cycle that complements the melodic rhythm and sometimes helps shape the overall structure of a composition. An usul can be as short as two beat music beat s or as long as 128 beats. Usul is often translated as meter music meter , but usul and meter are not exactly the same. Both are repeating rhythmic patterns with more or less complex inner structures of beats of differing duration and weight. But a student learning Turkish music in the traditional me k system first memorizes the usul kinetically by striking the knee s with the hand s. The student then sings the vocal or instrumental composition while performing the underlying usul. This pedagogical system helps the student memorize the composition while internalizing the underlying rhythmic structure. Usul patterns have standard pronounceable vocables built from combinations of the syllables d m , d m , tek , tekkyaa , teke , te ek , where d m, d m indicate a strong low beat of single or double duration, and tek, tekkya, teke, te ek indicate various combinations of light beats of half, single or double duration. Long usul s e.g., 28 4, 32 4, 120 4 are compound metric structures that underlie longer sections of entire compositions. In Ottoman times, the usul was realized by drummers. Drums are generally omitted in modern performances except for Mevlevi. When performing music for the Mevlevi ceremony, drummers traditionally play embellished velveleli versions of the usuls. Instrumental improvisations taksim and vocal improvisations ghazal gazel , mersiye , etc. are generally performed in free rhythm, with no usul. The melodic counterport to usul rhythmic mode is makam melodic mode. The parallel system to usul in Music of India Indian music is tala music tala .
