D Uşşak (Oushak)
Middle Eastern & Turkish Makams / Maqams
Uşşak tetrachord + Buselik pentachord. The 2nd (Segâh) is a koma flat; in 12 tones it matches natural minor. Very common in Turkish folk songs.
Makams use intervals smaller than a fret (komas, quarter tones) and are defined as much by their seyir (melodic path) as by their notes. Shown here is the nearest 12-tone, fretted approximation, so some makams land on the same notes.
Tap any dot to hear it.
