    1 BHATHKHANDE SANGITH VISHARAD PT II - VOCAL Theory notes 387 - Sandasa Kala Peetaya, Sri Lanka VISHARAD PART II - VOCAL - THEORY NOTES SANDASA KALA PEETAYA, SRI LANKA 077 5877257, 071 3635399 2 Hindustani Music History of Indian Music – Hindu and Muslim Periods Hindustani music has a long history. Even in the Vaidika Period (1500- 600 BC) there prevailed some sort of music in India. Due to the recitation of Veda Pathas (Slokas) or stanzas, there arose a simple style of singing. The holy- word ‘Om’ was sung in the one swara. The hymn of Veda led the way to develop three swaras, namely Udatta, Anudatta, Swarita. Gradually the Poorvanga was formed up. Later on automatically Uttaranga established. The fully developed Saptaka was seen in Sama Veda. A progress of music to some extent was functioned in Sama Veda. The time of history of music can be divided into three groups. They are The Ancient (600-800 BC), The Medieval (800 BC – 1500 AD) and The Modern (1500 AD – up to now). Being great musicians some Grantakars rendered an immortal service to the music of India. The Ancient musicians, such as Shri Bharata Sharangadeva, The Medieval musicians such as Ahobala Shrinivas and Hirdayanarayana and The Mordern musicians such as Manjarikar (Bhatkande) were predominant in those eras. All the Grantakars recognized 22 Shrutis and the rule of Chatus, Chatus Chaira etc. Accordingly Sa, Ma, Pa, carries 4 Shrutis each, Re, Dha carries 3 Shrutis each and Ga Ni carries 2 Shrutis each. The Ancient and Medieval fixed their Swaras on last Shruti while Modern fixed their Swaras on the first Shruti.

Tarakeswara Rao, Dr. K.R Sudha, Hari CH.V.M.K. Andhra University, Visakhapatnam, India Abstract - As for as the Human Computer Interactions (HCI) is concerned, there is broad range of applications in the area of research in respective of Automatic Melakarta Raaga Identification in music. The pattern of identification is the main object for which, the basic mathematical tool is utilized. On verification, it is observed that no model is proved consistently and effectively to be predicted in its classification. This paper is, therefore, introduces a procedure for Raaga Identification with the help of Hidden Markov Models (HMM) which is rather an appropriate approach in identifying Melakarta Raagas. This proposed approach is based on the standard speech recognition technology by using Hidden continuous Markov Model. Data is collected from the existing data base for training and testing of the method with due design process relating to Melakarta Raagas. Similarly, to solve the problem of automatic identification of raagas, a suitable approach from the existing database is presented. The system, particularly, this model is based on a Hidden Markov Model enhanced with Pakad string matching algorithm.

  • What Is Khya/?-A Critique of Wade's Khyal: Creativity Within North India's Classical Music Tradition
    What is Khya/?-A Critique of Wade's Khyal: Creativity Within North India's Classical Music Tradition Mukund Lath This book has all the trappings of an impressive production. It is published by a University with as great a tradition of scholarship as khyal has of creativity, a tradition w ith a history certainly older than that of khyal. The 350-odd pages that the book contains are beautifully printed with numerous impeccably drawn charts of sargam-s and gharana genealogies and well reproduced photographs of well­ know n musicians. Its appearance is sober but attractive, befitting the scholarly series of which it is a part. This appearance invites respect despite the fact that t he banner "ethnomusicology", under which it is published, has certain unsavoury suggestions and echoes of references to a comparatively " lower " art practised by traditionaL "third-world" communities, stagnant rather than creative. One would not write about Western classical music under this banner. 1 must hasten to add, however, that Bonnie C. Wade's attitude towards her subject has no ethnomusicological overtones in any pejorative sense. Quite the contrary, she has, in fact great admiration for khyal as an art-form. Maybe the meaning of the term "ethnomusicology" is changing, as many students of the subject claim. But then w hy not do away with the word? Is not " musicology" adequate? But no matter w hat the name of the series, a book from Cambridge is bound to arouse great expectations. A student w ill turn to the book hoping that here at last is something definitive on khyal.
