CONTEMPORARY TURKISH ART MUSIC DECISIONS:

1- Presentation of polyphonic music programs, most of them in short and simple explanations for the public. The subject of works with a theme, such as symphonic poetry, must be explained. The texts of my songs and arias should be summarized in three to five sentences. Aryas should be sung in Turkish as much as possible in recordings with local artists.

2- The chapters and titles of the works should be explained.

3- Explanatory music programs to be prepared by well-known music experts should be given as wide a place as possible. These explanations should not be too technical, too dry, and embellished with jokes and stories.

5- Polyphonic music programs should not be pushed to late hours when radios are rarely listened to.

6- Our composers should order works that are based on Turkish folk music and Turkish classical music (traditional Turkish music) or take their subject from Turkish legends and tales, Turkish history, Turkish literature, competitions should be held on the same subjects, folklore to be held in order to spread polyphonic music. In their harmonization, due importance should be given to the playing moods. Works of this kind can be an effective means of making multiple voices pleasant and listenable on our radios.

7- Watching the concerts with the works of Turkish composers on site, broadcasting them on our radios with interviews and recordings on tape will ensure that polyphonic music attracts more attention among the public.

11- Ensuring the broadcasting of contemporary Turkish music programs by regional radios.

12- Musical plays that deal with Turkish subjects and moods, as a pioneer of operetta and opera genres, should be prepared in order to familiarize and educate our people with polyphony, and the ones that are ready should be presented on radios, especially on television.

13- Incorporating chamber music in bespoke competitions, dubbing and broadcasts on Contemporary Turkish Art Music.

14- By making use of the special programs of our national holidays (especially the republic day), the intro, break and ending music should be selected from contemporary Turkish music works and these should be published by giving the name of the piece and the composer.

15- Attempting to perform a vocalization of the works in the field of contemporary Turkish art music, on the condition that priority is given to those that are necessary for TRT broadcasts, and also in a way that includes the first works in the field of polyphonic music in the 1826-1930 period.
