Makam: In Turkish Music, it is a musical system or order that determines the melodic structure. The makam of a piece determines which tones it will consist of, which intervals (pitches) it will progress through, the ways the melody rises and falls, and its characteristic emotion (sad, joyful, dignified, mystical, etc.). It is also used for the pitches on which longer rests are made.
