Browse piano sheets by Dede Efendi, Hammamizade İsmail on Zen Virtual Piano. Dede Efendi was named İsmâil because his birth fell on the first day of Kurban Bayramı; he was known as İsmâil Dede and Dede Efendi from his membership in the Mevlevi order, and as Hamâmîzâde because his father ran a bath-house. He trained at the Yenikapı Mevlevîhânesi with Ali Nutkî Dede, Abdülbâki Nâsır Dede and other leading musicians of the period. Three names for one man, drawn from a feast day, a religious order and a family trade, show how many strands ran through his life. Between 1824 and 1839, during the reign of Mahmud II, he composed seven Mevlevi ayins. The most notable feature of his compositions is that the classical style was preserved, though alongside loyalty to tradition they also show new searches. Loyalty to tradition and new searches pull in different directions, and his music keeps both in view rather than choosing one. He composed the Turkish waltz song Yine Bir Gülnihâl, which is among the works that show Western musical influence. A saying attributed to him from the reign of Abdülmecid, when Western influence grew, has him telling his student Dellâlzâde İsmâil Efendi that the flavour had gone out of the game. He composed more than 500 works and created makams including Arabankürdî, hicaz-bûselik, neveser, sabâ-bûselik and sultânîyegâh, though most of his works have not survived. A waltz song on one side and a saying about the flavour leaving the game on the other make a contrast that the surviving works can only partly settle. He died of cholera at Mina on 29 November 1846 and was buried in Mecca at Cennetü'l-muallâ, at the feet of Khadija. His house in Cankurtaran has been restored by the Turkish Historic Houses Preservation Association, and a street in Şehzadebaşı has been named Dedeefendi. A restored house and a named street give the composer a footprint in Istanbul as well as in the works that survive.
