L'ensemble Constantinople interprète la musique de Dimitrie Cantemir (1673-1723), prince, savant, compositeur et diplomate moldave. Si les compositions de ce personnage historique fascinant occupent une place à part entière au sein du répertoire de la musique ottomane, son influence est d’autant plus grande qu’il a aussi répertorié plus de 350 œuvres instrumentales dans son ouvrage Edvar-i Musiki. C’est en utilisant son propre système de notation qu’il a offert au monde l'une des plus importantes sommes de musique ottomane et du Moyen-Orient des 16e et 17e siècles.

Ensemble Constantinople performs the music of Dimitrie Cantemir (1673-1723), a Moldavian prince, scholar, composer, and diplomat. A fascinating historical figure, Cantemir’s compositions are considered part of the Ottoman music repertoire. More influential though are the over 350 instrumental works that he preserved in his book, Edvar-i Musiki, using his own innovative notation system, which remains as one of the most important collections of 16th and 17th century Ottoman and Middle Eastern music.

Cantemir's country Romania? I know of only one Cantemir and that's in Moldova.

[@Simona-Doina]

​@@umserserumHistorical Moldova includes both the present-day Republic of Moldova and the province of Moldova, part of the state of Romania.

[@umserserum]

@@Simona-Doina exactly, so why do you call that România? That region was always Moldova.

[@Simona-Doina]

@@umserserum The Romanian state was formed by the union of three provinces inhabited by Romanians (same language - Romanian, same religious belief - Orthodox Christians): Moldova, Wallachia (or Romanian Country) and Transylvania. The name Romania was adopted because the inhabitants of these lands, in their language, called themselves Romanians.

[@bhag628]

The most natural sounding and captivating interpretation of Cantemir and Safavid era music available today! Hopefully these old rhythmic cycles and compositional techniques can influence modern Persian dastgah music. I think the Qajar era lost some of this beauty in its rhythmic compositions, they seem to usually just stick to slow tasnifs and athletic chaharmezrabs almost all in 6/8. And these frame drums seem more suitable to Persian music than the modern daf, which I think is Kurdish in origin, or a solo tonbak, which often gets drowned out in larger ensembles.

[@efruhte1692]

While it is absolutely true that Qajar era music traded rhythmic complexity for the melodic exactitude of the dastgah system, many of Cantemir's compositions (especially Zenguleh pishrow, Bestenigar pishrow, Buzurg pishrow and Mahour pishrow) are of a different "school", so to speak (probably of late 17th century origin, mostly in Southeastern Europe and large cities in Turkey) with very complicated, sometimes almost "atonal" (for the lack of a better word) melodic lines and way slower tempos. We don't have much evidence of this school existing in Persia; compare with Muhayyer pishrow, Bousalik pishrow and any of his samais; which is in a style much more common with the rest of the art music repertoires of the period.

[@bhag628]

@@efruhte1692 I assumed there were all ‘ajamlar’, pieces that Cantemir attributed to Persian immigrant musicians in the Ottoman court. But I guess that’s because Constantinople did that one project Journey to the Summit featuring such compositions and they sounded similar, at least to my novice ears. So these pieces are more uniquely Ottoman in origin?

[@efruhte1692]

These are Cantenir’s own compositions, which he sprinkled into his anthology. We can identify two styles of composition in his corpus; one more in common with both Ottoman and Persian composers of the early to mid 17th century (the second style I mentioned in my previous message). The other one, which is more influenced by Byzantine styles as well as innovations native to the Ottomans in the late 17th century, is his more “mature” style (the first style I mentioned in my previous message).

[@bhag628]

@@efruhte1692 Thank you for explaining this! That's really interesting that he was an innovative composer in his own right, I thought he only invented a way to transcribe extant compositions. One last question for you, was any aspect of the melodies in the music he composed unique, or was it still based on the existing Ottoman/Persian makams?

[@efruhte1692]

@@bhag628 Well, since makams are deconstructive melodic entities which are not necessarily bound to any scale/progression or anything else, and rather function as conceptual categories; people often twisted the rules of a certain existing makam to its conceptual extreme (a good example of this is the sheer craziness that is Zaharya’s Bestenigâr Kâr) and created something very unique. Some pieces here (for ex. Zenguleh pishrow) do that to some extent, while others don’t. As for inventing new makams, we have no data to suggest that he created any.

Romanian nation, This people of herders and farmers, who were skilled in battle when they needed to defend themselves, but were otherwise peaceful, stretched from one side to the other of the Lower Danube, and its migration territory extended, on the northern side, all the way to the extremity of the Northern Carpathians, and, on the southern side, all the way to the extremity of the Pindus Mountains. This nation has 4 branches: Aromanians, Istro-Romanians, Megleno-Romanians and Daco-Romanians. The Aromanian branch, endemic to the Balkans, spread throughout the right bank of the Lower Danube (the southern side of the Danube). They are good sheepherders, scientists and merchants, speak the Aromanian dialect of Romanian language, and have made significant contributions to the culture and formation of Balkan states, including Greece and the Central European states, such as contemporary Hungary. Although there have been numerous attempts, our brothers have not managed to form a distinct state entity, but the Slavs that settled here managed to prevail. In contrast, the other branch, the Daco-Romanians, who were on the left bank of the Danube (the northern side of the Danube) managed to protect and save themselves, forming their own nation state. In the meantime, this nation state aims to restore itself through the re-unification of Romania and the Republic of Moldova, a territory repeatedly annexed by Russian Slavs.

Un profesor universitar mi-a spus odată că și Cantemir compunea manele. A uitat să precizeze sau să își dea seama el însuși că ce compunea Cantemir nu are nicio legătură cu ce auzim astăzi peste tot. Poate că într-o tipologie largă încadrându-ne, ce a compus Cantemir este manea, dar, să ne trezim odată la realitate, une e Cantemir, alta e Tzanca Uraganul.

[@VSP4591]

Nu are legătură una cu alta. Ce a produs Cantemir este considerat muzică clasică turcească. Se cântă cu instrumente specifice.
