Abstract :

This study aims to explore the importance of the Bektashi Breathes anthology that is one of the sources of Turkish musicology in the field of Turkish religion music. Anthology was written by a Bektashi Baba. The author said that those breathes are still played in the lodges that he attended. It was seen that theses on Bektashi Breathes have not been referenced and evaluated. The first persons who benefited from it in the field of Turkish literature are S. Nuzhet Ergun (1949 and 1955) and Abdülbaki Gölpınarlı (1963). The most important aspect of the book is the first time compiled Bektashi Breathes and published in 1921. However, lack of musical note and musical terms like composer, makam and usul shows the relationship music of lyrics within, and it has led to negligence in academic works in the field of Turkish musicology.
