  • INDIAN CLASSICAL MUSIC Indian Classical Music Originated from the Indian Subcontinent and Was Divided Into Two Traditions in the 12Th Century
    INDIAN CLASSICAL MUSIC Indian classical music originated from the Indian subcontinent and was divided into two traditions in the 12th century. The north Indian style is called Hindustāni and the south is known as Carnatic or Karnataka sangitam. The division of the two traditions took place as Arab and Persian musical practices slowly came to influence the northern parts of the subcontinent, blending with the Hindu traditions. Both traditions date back to the chanting of sacred Vedic scriptures, which developed into a system of musical notes and rhythmic cycles. Both traditions share the use of rāgas (a melodic framework for improvisation, composed in a set scale), the rhythmic systems of tāl (the cycle of beats used in a composition), and the practice of rhythmically free improvisation, ensuring each performance is unique. Due to the prominence of improvisation in both traditions, and written notation being scarce, the music is often passed down the generations from master to disciple through oral teaching and direct demonstration. Traditionally, disciples moved into the home of their masters to ensure the tutorage was undertaken at the highest level. The development of the traditions is also influenced by gharrānrās – a community of performers who share a distinctive style and standard of classical music based on their respective regions. The gharrānrā concept arose in the 19th century, when the interest in royal court music began to dwindle and performers were forced to play elsewhere. Many gharrānrās take the names of regions from which they come, expressing their identities and retaining their lineage. Before a community of practitioners can be considered a gharrānrā, they must pass down the style through three generations.
