 Adnan Saygun belongs to the first generation of the contemporary Turkish composers as the “Turkish five.”
The musical reform that Ataturk had envisaged was based on the concept
of combining the national values with contemporary techniques. Saygun
has given a most successful realisation of this principle in his first
major work, “Yunus Emre”.
