Refrain
A refrain (from Vulgar Latin ''refringere'', "to repeat", and later from Old French ''refraindre'') is the line or lines that are repeated in music or in poetry — the "chorus" of a song. Poetic fixed forms that feature refrains include the villanelle, the virelay, and the sestina. In popular music, the refrain or chorus may contrast with the verse melodically, rhythmically, and harmonically; it may assume a higher level of dynamics and activity, often with added instrumentation. Chorus form, or strophic form, is a sectional and/or additive way of structuring a piece of music based on the repetition of one formal section or block played repeatedly. Usage in history In music, a refrain has two parts: the lyrics of the song, and the melody. Sometimes refrains vary their words slightly when repeated; recognizability is given to the refrain by the fact that it is always sung to the same tune, and the rhymes, if present, are preserved despite the variations of the words.

Ottoman Classical Music
Ottoman music ( tr, Osmanlı müziği) or Turkish classical music ( tr, Türk sanat müziği) is the tradition of classical music originating in the Ottoman Empire. Developed in the palace, major Ottoman cities, and Sufi lodges, it traditionally features a solo singer with a small to medium-sized instrumental ensemble. A tradition of music that reached its golden age around the early 18th century, Ottoman music traces its roots back to the music of the Hellenic and Persianate world, a distinctive feature of which is the usage of a modal melodic system. This system, alternatively called '' makam'', '' dastgah'' or '' echos'', are a large and varied system of melodic material, defining both scales and melodic contour. In Ottoman music alone, more than 600 makams have been used so far, and out of these, at least 120 makams are in common use and formally defined. Rhythmically, Ottoman music uses the ''zaman'' and ''usûl'' systems, which determine time signatures and accents r ...

Sama'i
''Sama'i'' (also known as ''usul semai'') is a vocal piece of Ottoman Turkish music composed in 6/8 meter. This form and meter ('' usul'' in Turkish) is often confused with the completely different ''Saz Semaisi'', an instrumental form consisting of three to four sections, in 10/8 meter, or ''usul aksak semai'' (broken ''semai'' in Turkish). ''Semai'' is one of the most important forms in Ottoman Turkish Sufi music.

Peşrev
''Peşrev'' (pronounced in Turkish), ''Pişrev'' (), ''peshrev,'' or ''pishrev;'' called ''bashraf'' بشرف in Arabic; is an instrumental form in Turkish classical music. It is the name of the first piece of music played during a group performance called a fasıl (). It also serves as the penultimate piece of the ''Mevlevi ayini'', ritual music of the Mevlevi order, under the name ''son peşrev'' (final peşrev), preceding ''son semai''. It usually uses long rhythm cycles, stretching over many measures as opposed to the simpler usul the other major form of instrumental music uses, '' saz semai''. Along with the '' saz semai'' (called '' sama'i'' in Arabic), it was introduced into Arabic music in the 19th century, and became particularly popular in Egypt. Etymology In Ottoman Turkish Ottoman Turkish ( ota, لِسانِ عُثمانى, Lisân-ı Osmânî, ; tr, Osmanlı Türkçesi) was the standardized register of the Turkish language used by the citizens of the Ott ...
