With comprehensive training in Western harp literature, \u015eirin had not programmed any pieces that could be considered Turkish music. If the opportunity arose to perform traditional music, she had to arrange it herself, as there was little published or easily accessible for a harpist, since few had followed that path before. After nearly 20 years abroad, \u015eirin decided it was time to reconnect with her roots. Returning to her homeland and seeking new directions for the harp, she saw this as an opportunity to integrate the Turkish aspects of her identity, both personally and musically.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Working closely with contemporary Turkish composers was her first step in this process, and being immersed in a totally new vocabulary was very invigorating: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI immediately thought this is interesting, because the framework was a contemporary piece in a Western approach. However, looking at the basic elements,I thought, well, those rhythms, I&#8217;m not sure any Westerner can play those [\u2026] it really comes from our own traditional music; changing, complex, uneven meters\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This resulted in a deepening engagement with not only Turkish traditional music but also with the forgotten historical harp of her native land.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Reviving the Ancient \u00c7eng: Bridging Traditions and Modern Practice<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having grown up in a family rich in Turkish history and culture, \u015eirin had long been fascinated by the images her sister, an art historian specialising in medieval Islamic art, shared with her. These included miniature paintings and illuminated scripts, often featuring scenes in which a harp-like instrument, the \u00e7eng, plays a central role. The \u00e7eng is an ancient instrument from Mesopotamia, dating back 4,000\u20135,000 years. Its design varies, and it has travelled through Syria, Iran, Iraq, China, Japan, and Korea, forming a family of related instruments with cultural significance in Persian and Ottoman regions. As a Turkish harp player, \u015eirin felt it was vital to understand and revive the \u00e7eng. Her work involves collaborating with instrument makers to build playable prototypes, as no historical instrument survived.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a Turkish musician with Western training, \u015eirin faced challenges when engaging with traditional Turkish music. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cReaching Turkish masters was straightforward; they appreciated my genuine interest in their often forgotten instrument. [\u2026] Turkish musicians master their instruments through oral tradition, memorising hundreds of melodies and techniques, making the musical practice highly practical and improvisational. Success requires humility and a deep understanding of this tradition, which can be tough for outsiders to grasp.\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_31955\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 1024px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-31955 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.camac-harps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2026\/03\/sirin-pancaroglu-et-ceng.jpg-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Sirin_Pancarog\u0306lu presents the \u00e7eng at a recent lecture.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.camac-harps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2026\/03\/sirin-pancaroglu-et-ceng.jpg-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.camac-harps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2026\/03\/sirin-pancaroglu-et-ceng.jpg-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.camac-harps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2026\/03\/sirin-pancaroglu-et-ceng.jpg-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.camac-harps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2026\/03\/sirin-pancaroglu-et-ceng.jpg-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.camac-harps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2026\/03\/sirin-pancaroglu-et-ceng.jpg-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.camac-harps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2026\/03\/sirin-pancaroglu-et-ceng.jpg-1000x667.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.camac-harps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2026\/03\/sirin-pancaroglu-et-ceng.jpg-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.camac-harps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2026\/03\/sirin-pancaroglu-et-ceng.jpg-55x37.jpg 55w, https:\/\/www.camac-harps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2026\/03\/sirin-pancaroglu-et-ceng.jpg-250x167.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sirin_Pancarog\u0306lu presents the \u00e7eng at a recent lecture.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On top of this, \u015eirin had to reckon with the fact that the \u00e7eng functions quite differently from the Western harp, i.e., that its vocabulary is much more melodic than harmonic accompaniments. Turkish music is melodic and notated on a single staff. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cStringed instrument players add melodic embellishments and focus on a horizontal flow coupled with rigorous rhythm,\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>How the Resource works\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having gathered knowledge and experience, raising awareness of this ancient harp within the harp community felt to \u015eirin like a valuable next step, and the most effective way to achieve this seemed to be to present and notate this musical language for players of the Western lever or pedal harp. But how would her Western colleagues approach this highly melodic music?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The melodies specifically composed for this resource serve as a primer for the material in The Turkish Harp Music Collection, the critically annotated edition of Turkish music for modern harps, comprising 26 works published by 80 Days Publishing.
