  • Rāga Recognition Based on Pitch Distribution Methods
    Rāga Recognition based on Pitch Distribution Methods Gopala K. Koduria, Sankalp Gulatia, Preeti Raob, Xavier Serraa aMusic Technology Group, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona, Spain. bDepartment of Electrical Engg., Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, Mumbai, India. Abstract Rāga forms the melodic framework for most of the music of the Indian subcontinent. us automatic rāga recognition is a fundamental step in the computational modeling of the Indian art-music traditions. In this work, we investigate the properties of rāga and the natural processes by which people identify it. We bring together and discuss the previous computational approaches to rāga recognition correlating them with human techniques, in both Karṇāṭak (south Indian) and Hindustānī (north Indian) music traditions. e approaches which are based on first-order pitch distributions are further evaluated on a large com- prehensive dataset to understand their merits and limitations. We outline the possible short and mid-term future directions in this line of work. Keywords: Indian art music, Rāga recognition, Pitch-distribution analysis 1. Introduction ere are two prominent art-music traditions in the Indian subcontinent: Karṇāṭak in the Indian peninsular and Hindustānī in north India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. Both are orally transmied from one generation to another, and are heterophonic in nature (Viswanathan & Allen (2004)). Rāga and tāla are their fundamental melodic and rhythmic frameworks respectively. However, there are ample differ- ences between the two traditions in their conceptualization (See (Narmada (2001)) for a comparative study of rāgas). ere is an abundance of musicological resources that thoroughly discuss the melodic and rhythmic concepts (Viswanathan & Allen (2004); Clayton (2000); Sambamoorthy (1998); Bagchee (1998)).
