Abstract
During the early-Republican era (1923-1938), the renowned Turkish vocalist Münir Nurettin Selçuk (1899-1981) developed a new classical style in the context of a new classical venue, the concert hall. Performing as a soloist (solist) in imitation of a recital (resital), he viewed himself as a ‘concertiste’ (konsertist) who had revolutionised Turkish music by adopting western techniques in vocal performance and by appropriating western conventions in vocal presentation. Here, the concert programme afforded Selçuk with a unique opportunity for displaying a new national style at the dawn of a new nation state. In this paper, the author examines the metric organisation of concert programmes presented by Münir Nurettin Selçuk during the early-Republican period. Although criticised by contemporary critics for the irregular character (usûlsüz) of his concert programmes, it is argued that Selçuk advanced an older conceptualisation of musical meter that can be found in historic anthologies of song texts (güfte mecmuaları).
