* * * * * * *
A Short Biography:
His real name is Hammamizade Ismail, the name Dede Efendi being his courtesy title as a Mevlevi Dervish. After ITRI, he is the greatest of all Ottoman classical composers. He took his first music lessons from Uncuzade Mehmet Emin Efendi, and later from Ali Nutki Dede, Seyh (leader) of Yanikapi Mevlevi Lodge. He completed his novitiate at the same dervish lorge in 1799, and took the title of Dede at just 21.
Only half of his compositions have survived in notated form, and of these 268 compositions 6 are Mevlevi ayins. Dede Efendi played the ney and had a fine singing voice. He was the creator of the Sultaniyegah, Neveser, Sababuselik, Hicazbuselik and Araban-Kurdi Maqams.
He died in Mina of Cholera after making the pilgrimage to Mecca with his disciples Dellalzade Ismail and Mutafzade Ahmet, and was burried in Mecca.
