  • Artifacts and Representations of North Indian Art Music [*Ecompanion At
    Oral Tradition, 20/1 (2005): 130-157 Shellac, Bakelite, Vinyl, and Paper: Artifacts and Representations of North Indian Art Music [*eCompanion at www.oraltradition.org] Lalita du Perron and Nicolas Magriel Introduction Short songs in dialects of Hindi are the basis for improvisation in all the genres of North Indian classical vocal music. These songs, bandiśes, constitute a central pillar of North Indian culture, spreading well beyond the geographic frontiers of Hindi itself. Songs are significant as being the only aspect of North Indian music that is “fixed” and handed down via oral tradition relatively intact. They are regarded as the core of Indian art music because they encapsulate the melodic structures upon which improvisation is based. In this paper we aim to look at some issues raised by the idiosyncrasies of written representations of songs as they has occurred within the Indian cultural milieu, and then at issues that have emerged in the course of our own ongoing efforts to represent khyāl songs from the perspectives of somewhat “insidish outsiders.” Khyāl, the focus of our current research, has been the prevalent genre of vocal music in North India for some 200 years. Khyāl songs are not defined by written representations, but are transmitted orally, committed to memory, and re-created through performance. A large component of our current project1 has been the transcription of 430 songs on the basis of detailed listening to commercial recordings that were produced during the period 1903-75, aspiring to a high degree of faithfulness to the details of specific performance instances. The shellac, bakelite, and vinyl records with 1 An AHRB-funded (Arts and Humanities Research Board) project, “Songs of North Indian Art Music” (SNIAM), carried out by the two authors in the Department of Music at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS).

  • The Gwalior Gharana of Khayal
    THE GWALIOR GHARANA OF KHAYAL SusheeJa Misra The different gharanas in Khayal-singing have not only helped to preserve and perpetuate the older traditions through an unbroken lineage of Guru­ shishya-paratnpara, but also added much colour and infinite variety to Hindustani Music. In an article on "A spects of Karnatic Music", the late Sri G.N. Balasubramaniam (a famous performing artiste and scholar) wrote almost longingly:- "Unlike the Karnatak system, the Hindustani system is more elastic and flexible and comparatively free from inhibitions and restrictions. For instance, in the North there are several Gharanas--each one handling one and the same raga differently. In the South everywhere, every raga is ren­ dered alike". It is this scope for variety, choice of suitable style, and flights of fancy that have maintained the popul arity of the Khayal up till now. The precursors of the Khayal also used to be rendered in different styles. In ancient granthas, we come across mention of different types of "Geetis" such as "Shudhdha", "Bhinna", "Goudi", "Vesari", and "Saadhaarant", When the golden age of the Dhrupad began (during the Middle Ages), Dhrupad-gayan also had developed four "Baants" (meaning styles, or schools) namely, :-"Goudi" or "Gobarhari", "Daggur", "Khandar", and "Nowhar". When the majestic and ponderous Dhrupad had to give place to the .classico-romantic Khayal-form, the latter was developed and perfected into various styles which came to be known as "Gharanas", These "gharanas" gave an attractive variety to Khayal-singing,-each "gharana" developing its own distinctive features, although all of them were deeply rooted in a common underlying tradition or "Susampradaaya".

  • Pandit Vishnu Digambar Paluskar Ji
    Biography of Gaayanaacharya Pandit Vishnu Digambar Paluskar ji Pandit Vishnu Digambar ji was born on 18th August, 1872 in a town called Kurundwad in a state of Maharashtra in India. Kurundwad was a small kingdom and Shreemant Daajeesaahab Patwardhan was its king. Pandit Vishnu Digambar ji’s father Shree Digambar Paluskar was a favorite Keertan kaar (skilled story teller, lecturer and entertainer who performs using wit, music and instruments) in Shreemant (this was the title of kings in Maharashtra) Daajeesaahab’s court. Hence Paluskar family was sheltered and supported by the king. Young Vishnu was growing up along with Daajeesaahab’s son, prince Naanaasaahab. Young Vishnu was known to be a brilliant student in his school. But, in the year 1887, at the celebration of birth day of Lord Datta, poisonous gas from the fireworks damaged young Vishnu’s eyes and left him almost blind. It is a quirk of destiny that this mishap was a great blessing to the music world. Young Vishnu was brought to town of Miraj for treatment but the doctors advised that regular schooling was now not feasible for him. In Miraj kingdom, Gwalior gharana style expert, Maharshi (great sage) Pandit (expert, scholar) Balkrishnabua Ichalkaranjikar was the court musician / vocalist. The keertankaar father left his son with Pandit Balkrishnabua Ichalkaranjikar to learn music. According to the instruction of king of Miraj kingdom, Sir Gangaadharrao or Baalaasaaheb Mirajkar, Pandit Balkrishnabua Ichalkaranjikar started teaching music to young Vishnu. For nine years there was regimented study. Vishnu Digambar ji worked very hard to transform his strong voice into musicianship worthy of Baalkrishnabua and learnt his taan pradhaan ‘gaayakee’ (singing style full of powerful taans).

  • Biography of Gaayanaachaarya Pandit Baalkrushnabuaa Ichalkaranjikar
    Biography of Gaayanaachaarya Pandit Baalkrushnabuaa Ichalkaranjikar Maharashtra has produced many individuals who derived inspiration from role models in Indian mythology and lived their lives like respected sages. Gaayanaachaarya Pandit Baalkrushnabuaa Ichalkaranjikar is one of them. He learnt singing style of Gwalior gharaanaa (family or hierarchy) from Pandit Vaasudevbuaa Joshi with great service to his Guru and hard work. Pandit Baalkrushnabuaa Ichalkaranjikar was the first one to introduce and popularize Gwalior gharaanaa gaayakee (singing style) in the state of Mahaaraashtra. He taught his hard earned vocal music to his students and created a musical community. He also brought music to respected peoples’ houses in society and established a dignified place for music. This extraordinary man was born in 1849 near a town of ‘Ichalkaranji’ in a small village called ‘Bedag’. His was a family of priests for generations. However, Baalkrushna ji’s father Raamchandra had learnt a little music and he was a performing vocalist. Hence Raamchandra often travelled to different places. He was very pleased when he noticed that his son’s voice was remarkably capable of fast development. He taught Baalkrushna ji some dhrupads and other arrangements (prabandh). Raamchandra ji wished for his son to be a singer. But Baalkrushna ji’s mother passed away after a short illness and Raamchandra ji took Baalkrushna to his uncle’s place. Baalkrushna was not happy doing priest’s duties at his uncle’s place. When one day he refused to go to receive alms as a priest, his uncle got upset and insulted him. Baalkrushna ji replied ‘I will return only after I become a great scholar’ and left his uncle’s place.
