Özet: Considering that music is the most effective and important tool in shaping the newly formed states and its social structures, the process of developing Turkish Folk Music during the republican era provides precise examples of this phenomenon. When we look at the nation-state models relevant to our subject, we see some hidden heroes of this formation process. Each of the elements we articulate as conceptual or main theme becomes a symbol. In- struments, music genres, dances, rituals, archives, schools are the symbolic, adaptive, formative symbols of this process. Turkish Folk Music, collecting of folk tunes Turkish Folk Dances and Muzaffer Sarısözen himself are such symbols and hidden heroes of the culture policies of the republican era. These works are the tools of some kind of transition rituals of the newly established society. In this study, a critique of this transition and formation with similar examples from other parts of the world, focusing on the work of Sarısözen from an ethnomusicological perspective in view Turner's liminality concept.
