Mevlevi, Iranian Musicians and “The Science of Music” in Ibrahim Cevri’s “Description of the Singers at the Court of the Sultan” by Walter Feldman
Walter Feldman
Leading Researcher, Ottoman Turkish & Jewish Music
Written c. 1635, Ibrahim Cevri’s “Description of the Singers at the Court of the Sultan” offers us a glimpse of the formative generation of what would become Ottoman music. Cevri distinguishes between the musical genres of the “Science of Music” and more popular forms. For the former, the dominant musical genres were still those that originated in Greater Iran. Turkish musical genres play a subsidiary role. The leading court musicians were either Iranians, Mevlevi and Halveti dervishes or their students. No non-Muslim musicians appear.
Walter Feldman is a leading scholar of Ottoman Turkish and Jewish music, and a performer on the tanbur and klezmer cimbal. His Music of the Ottoman Court (1996; rev. 2024) is a standard text worldwide, and his recent books include From Rumi to the Whirling Dervishes (2022) and Klezmer: Music, History and Memory (2016). He has conducted extensive fieldwork on klezmer and Moldavian Gypsy music and has published widely on Ottoman poetry, including seventeenth-century Indian Style literature, supported by an NEH grant.
