Composing Techniques Based on Indian Rhythmical Structures
David Six Matr.Nr.: 00640573 Composing Techniques based on Indian Classical Rhythmical Structures Masterarbeit zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades Master of Arts des Studiums Jazz und Improvisierte Musik, Klavier an der Anton Bruckner Privatuniversität Linz Betreut durch: Renald Deppe und Christoph Cech Frankfurt am Main, 14. Februar 2019 Composing Techniques based on Indian Classical Rhythmical Structures A creative approach Abstract This text provides an overview of traditional composing techniques and rhythmic devices originating from Indian classical music as well as their potential application for composers of western classical contemporary music or jazz. This is achieved by an analysis of already existing works of twentieth century composers who have either clearly drawn inspiration from Indian classical rhythmic structures or whose work simply shows unintended parallels. Further, new creative concepts of how to implement or transform pure rhythmic structures via matrices into tonal material are being introduced. (Rhythm : Harmony | Rhythm : Melody) Diese Arbeit bietet einerseits einen Überblick über verschiedene Kompositionsmethoden und Rhythmusstrukturen in der Klassisch indischen Musiktradition sowie mögliche Anwendungsmethoden derselben für Komponisten der westlichen Genres Neue Musik und Jazz. Bereits bestehende, von Komponisten des 20. Jahrhunderts aufgegriffene Techniken wie eigene kreative Ansätze (Matrizen) werden vorgestellt.

PAPER 14 KIRTANAM and TILLANA MODULE 1 The Importance of KIRTANAM in Bharatanatyam repertoire KIRTANAM Singing The Praise of God Is Keertana / कीर्तन. Keertan Is a Sanskrit Word .It means telling the Glory of God. In Southern Part India Keertana, came to be known as Kirtanam / कीर्तनम Or Keertanai / ककर्तनै with a regional touch. The different names with Adjectives attributed to gods are known as Kirtanam. Keertan Singing is a common feature in the pan Indian Tradition. It Is Sung In Temples And Religious Congregations. This Musical Form Is Prevalent In The Regional Languages All Over India. Irrespective Of the Type of Music Whether Hindustani or Carnatic, Keertan Takes a Special Place in the Repertoire of Music, Dance, Harikatha / हररकथा and bhajan Concerts. The Recitation And Chanting Of Vedas By A Group Of Priests As Part Of The Rituals Can Be Considered As The Early Example Of Collective Singing Of Devotional Music. Devotion Is a Universal Feeling and the Supreme Prayer to Attain God’s Feet. There are Threefold Margas to approach The Infinite .They are Gyanamarga / ऻानमागत (Intellectual Path), Karma Marga / कमत मागत (way of action) and The Bakhtimarga / भक्तर्मागत (Devotional Path).The devotional path is considered the ideal and easiest to approach god. The attractive form of displaying devotion is by singing his praise. Hence kirtanas are the best musical form in the sphere of devotional music. Structure of the kirtanam Kirtanams are set in simple ragas (tunes) to make easy for everybody to sing. The talas set are also simple and rhythmic.

About Carnatic Music What Is Carnatic Music?
About Carnatic Music What is Carnatic Music? It is an ancient form of Classical Music associated with South India. There are several websites which give elaborate information about the basics of Carnatic Music, we list a couple of them here for your easy reference. It is certainly interesting to go through the information given in these websites but we feel it is not a must for a listener to assimilate all the technicalities for enjoying Carnatic music. The most fundamental aspects discussed in this page with audio demonstrations should suffice for anyone to get started with Carnatic music. What are the key elements of Carnatic Music? Shruti or Pitch - Carnatic Music is a melody based system and every sound produced revolves around a central concept of 'Shruthi' or 'Pitch'. 'Swaras' or 'Notes' - There are basically seven swaras - Sa Ri Ga Ma Pa Da Ni, arranged in the order of increasing frequency. Of these, Sa and Pa are invariable, whereas the swaras Ri, Ga, Da and Ni have three variations (mentioned as Ri1, Ri2, Ri3, Ga1, Ga2, Ga3 and so on...) and Ma has only two variations. Thus we end up with sixteen swaras. Why we have only two or three variations in each swara is because that is all the frequencies available with in an octave! Raga - A combination of swaras in a particular sequence. Every raga has an ascending and descending sequence of swaras, called the arohanam- avarohanam , which can be called the DNA of the raga. Tala - It is the rhythm component of Carnatic Music. All of us tap our feet naturally to any music we hear, isn't it? In Carnatic music, the tapping or keeping the rhythm is done by hand gestures.
