Developed in the palace, major Ottoman cities, and Sufi lodges, it traditionally features a solo singer with a small to medium-sized instrumental ensemble. A tradition of music that reached its golden age around the early 18th century, Ottoman music traces its roots back to the music of the Hellenic and Persianate world, a distinctive feature of which is the usage of a modal melodic system.

A classical ''fasıl'' generally includes movements such as '' taksim'', ''peşrev'', '' kâr'', '' beste'', '' ağır semâ'î'', '' yürük semâ'î'', ''gazel'', ''şarkı'' and '' saz semâ'î'', played continuously without interludes and interconnected through aranağme arrangement A modern ''fasıl'' typically includes movements such as '' taksim'', ''peşrev'', ''şarkı (ağır aksak)'', '' yürük semâ'î'', '' Türk aksağı'', '' taksim'', ''şarkı (a few with increasing tempo)'' and '' saz semâ'î''. Traditional Fasıl (both classical and modern) is a musical act distinct from the performance of "oriental" or "arabesque" pop and folk songs found at meyhanes and taverns, which have come to be sometimes referred by the same name.

Turkey is a country on the northeastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea, and is a crossroad of cultures from across Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, the Caucasus and South and Central Asia. The roots of traditional music in Turkey span across centuries to a time when the Seljuk Turks migrated to Anatolia and Persia in the 11th century and contains elements of both Turkic and pre-Turkic influences.
