Description
Summary:The aim of this study is to show how the traditions of modal music in the Byzantine and Turkish contexts shared a common history over several centuries, as it is well exemplified by figure and the role of the Greek cantor and composer Petros Peloponnesios. As the work will display, the common history of Byzantine and Turkish music emerged thanks to various contacts within different types of environment, ranging from the Ottoman court to the Orthodox Patriarchate of Istanbul, and involving a wide range of musical genres, from Christian Orthodox religious music to Ottoman Classical Music. The contacts resulted in promoting the dialogue between the coexisting Orthodox Christian and Muslim communities in the Ottoman Empire.
