    Fusion Without Confusion Raga Basics Indian

    Fusion Without Confusion Raga Basics Indian Rhythm Basics Solkattu, also known as konnakol is the art of performing percussion syllables vocally. It comes from the Carnatic music tradition of South India and is mostly used in conjunction with instrumental music and dance instruction, although it has been widely adopted throughout the world as a modern composition and performance tool. Similarly, the music of North India has its own system of rhythm vocalization that is based on Bols, which are the vocalization of specific sounds that correspond to specific sounds that are made on the drums of North India, most notably the Tabla drums. Like in the south, the bols are used in musical training, as well as composition and performance. In addition, solkattu sounds are often referred to as bols, and the practice of reciting bols in the north is sometimes referred to as solkattu, so the distinction between the two practices is blurred a bit. The exercises and compositions we will discuss contain bols that are found in both North and South India, however they come from the tradition of the North Indian tabla drums. Furthermore, the theoretical aspect of the compositions is distinctly from the Hindustani, (north Indian) tradition. Hence, for the purpose of this presentation, the use of the term Solkattu refers to the broader, more general practice of Indian rhythmic language.

The idea behind the paper is to reinvestigate Ragang with a prospective to use it in digital classification and identification system. Previous works in this field are based on Swara sequence and patterns, Pakad and basic structure of Raga individually. To my best knowledge previous works doesn’t deal with the Ragang Patterns for identification and thus the paper approaches Raga identification with a Ragang (musical pattern group) base model. This work also reviews the Thaat-Raagang classification system. This describes scope in application for Automatic digital teaching of classical music by software program to analyze music (Classical vocal and instrumental). The Raag classification should be flawless and logically perfect for best ever results.

    The Thaat-Ragas of North Indian Classical Music: The Basic Atempt to Perform Dr. Sujata Roy Manna ABSTRACT Indian classical music is divided into two streams, Hindustani music and Carnatic music. Though the rules and regulations of the Indian Shastras provide both bindings and liberties for the musicians, one can use one’s innovations while performing. As the Indian music requires to be learnt under the guidance of Master or Guru, scriptural guidelines are never sufficient for a learner. Keywords: Raga, Thaat, Music, Performing, Alapa. There are two streams of Classical music of India – the Ragas are to be performed with the basic help the North Indian i.e., Hindustani music and the of their Thaats. Hence, we may compare the Thaats South Indian i.e., Carnatic music. The vast area of with the skeleton of creature, whereas the body Indian Classical music consists upon the foremost can be compared with the Raga. The names of the criterion – the origin of the Ragas, named the 10 (ten) Thaats of North Indian Classical Music Thaats.

In this paper we presented various properties of raga and the way how a trained person identifi es the raga and the past raga identifi cation techniques. Keywords : Indian classical music; raga; signal processing; machine learning. 1. INTRODUCTION The Music can be a social activity, but it can also be a very spiritual experience. Ancient Indians were deeply impressed by the spiritual power of music, and it is out of this that Indian classical music was born. So, for those who take it seriously, classical music involves single-minded devotion and lifelong commitment. But the thing about music is that you can take it as seriously or as casually as you like. It is a rewarding experience, no matter how deep or shallow your involvement.

  • Different Frequencies of Tones with a Same Name and Their Practical Execution in a Selected North Indian Classical Music Context

    Different Frequencies of Tones with a Same Name and Their Practical Execution in a Selected North Indian Classical Music Context

    DIFFERENT FREQUENCIES OF TONES WITH A SAME NAME AND THEIR PRACTICAL EXECUTION IN A SELECTED NORTH INDIAN CLASSICAL MUSIC CONTEXT E. A. A. Vishvanath Edirisinghe Abstract Two of the world’s five major music traditions are related to India. They are, north Indian and south Indian classical music. North Indian classical music is built upon the concept of raga which uses a monophonic structure giving importance to each and every individual musical tone in performing. Though the Indian music uses twelve musical tones similarly to the other music traditions such as western music, the tones in Indian classical music are positioned using a concept called shruti which has twenty-two intervals for an octave. According to this concept, instead of placing twelve tones on fixed frequencies, their frequency values vary depending on the mood of the raga, the fluency of the performer, the musical techniques used and on many other factors. In this research the above fact is studied focusing only on komal gandhar by analyzing voice recordings of nine ragas which would be taken from reputed university lectures. To measure the frequency of the taken recordings, Overtone analyzer 5.0.2 software has been used and Audio speed changer pro portable software has been used to change the pitch (when necessary) of the original recordings without affecting their speed. Keywords North Indian Classical Music, Frequencies, Measurments, Komal Gandhar, Raga Angas Introduction In this research, the practical execution and the pitch values of komal gandhar used in north Indian classical music studied. Even though the komal gandhar can be used in every musical form in the north Indian music repertoire, only the khayal1 music form will be considered in this research to study the pitch values and the practical execution of komal gandhar.

The paper concerns a detailed study of the melakartha-janya raga system of CCM, Thaat-raaga system of HCM and cognitive studies of the same based on Artificial Neural networks (ANN). For CCM, studies were confined to the 72 melakartha ragas. For HCM 101 ragas were considered. Relative frequencies of notes in the scales were used as inputs. 100% accuracy was obtained for the melakartha system of CCM for several network topologies while highest accuracy was about 80% in case of HCM.

Indian Art Music has a huge variety of ra¯gas. The similarity across ra¯gas has traditionally been approached from various musicological viewpoints. This work aims at discovering structural similarities among renditions of ra¯gas using a data-driven approach. Starting from melodic contours, we obtain the descriptive note-level transcription of each rendition. Repetitive note patterns of variable and fixed lengths are derived using stochastic models. We propose a latent variable approach for raga distinction based on statistics of these patterns. The posterior probability of the latent variable is shown to capture similarities across raga renditions. We show that it is possible to visualize the similarities in a low-dimensional embedded space. Experiments show that it is possible to compare and contrast relations and distances between ragas in the embedded space with the musicological knowledge of the same for both Hindustani and Carnatic music forms. The proposed approach also shows robustness to duration of rendition. Keywords. Indian Art Music; similar ra¯gas; ra¯ga identification; repetitive note patterns.
