Abstract
In this research, it is aimed to present the elements which are thought to be left as a musical cultural heritage by Central Asia to Anatolian Turkish music culture within the context of similarities among the musical cultures shaped in the respective geography. It can be observed that Turkish music, which gained a new structure and identity, preserved the effects of Central Asia and brought them to the present despite the various musical culture elements it encountered in Anatolia. It can be noted that some similar elements which were in a sense conveyed as “a musical cultural heritage” from Central Asian Turkish music culture to Anatolian Turkish music culture and included in this origin served as a model in the context of music for acculturation between Central Asia and Anatolia. It is possible to list these similar elements as follows: “The Minstrelsy tradition”, the origin of which dates back to pre-Islamic period in the Central Asia and the name and function of which changed in Anatolian territories and which is in a sense a different form of Shamanism tradition; Rhythm similarities in musics; Modes as a method of processing musical scales in Turkish music system, their names and use; Musical instruments and similarities encountered in the names and structures of the instruments.
