  • Carnatic Music Theory Year Ii
    CARNATIC MUSIC THEORY YEAR II BASED ON THE SYLLABUS FOLLOWED BY GOVERNMENT MUSIC COLLEGES IN ANDHRA PRADESH AND TELANGANA FOR CERTIFICATE EXAMS HELD BY POTTI SRIRAMULU TELUGU UNIVERSITY ANANTH PATTABIRAMAN EDITION: 2.1 Latest edition can be downloaded from https://beautifulnote.com/theory Preface This text covers topics on Carnatic music required to clear the second year exams in Government music colleges in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Also, this is the second of four modules of theory as per Certificate in Music (Carnatic) examinations conducted by Potti Sriramulu Telugu University. So, if you are a music student from one of the above mentioned colleges, or preparing to appear for the university exam as a private candidate, you’ll find this useful. Though attempts are made to keep this text up-to-date with changes in the syllabus, students are strongly advised to consult the college or univer- sity and make sure all necessary topics are covered. This might also serve as an easy-to-follow introduction to Carnatic music for those who are generally interested in the system but not appearing for any particular examination. I’m grateful to my late guru, veteran violinist, Vidwan. Peri Srirama- murthy, for his guidance in preparing this document.

  • 17 CHAPTER 11.Pdf
    259 The traditional Bharatanatyam Margam begins with nritta items like Pushpanjali / Allaripu and or Kauthuvam , followed by Jatiswaram . By the time the dancer has finished the Jatiswaram , the dancer’s physical body the anga, pratyanga and upangas have had a good warm-up, with the execution of the jatis and korvais in different speeds. The audience is also satiated with pure dance and is looking forward to some abhinaya moments as well. It is at this point, about 20-25 minutes into the performance, that a simple composition introduces nritya into the Margam . As said in the last chapter on Nritya items in a Margam , Nritya is a combination of all four modes of Abhinaya with physical gestures, hastamudras and facial expression or mukhabinaya. This is the expressive dance that narrates a story with emotion – bhava to create rasa. In the present group of Margam items, the narrative is often interspersed with brief and brisk nritta interludes to break the monotone. In the Margam , there are several nritta -nritya items that the dancer performs. They begin with smaller, simpler ones with the sahitya being a small poem, a couplet, here the example is Shabdam and gradually build up the tempo to reach the Varnam. The Varnam is the longest and most challenging kriti, considered the piece de resistance of the performance. Thus a bridge is built as the dancer navigates her performance adroitly between nritta and nritya , just enough of both to whet the audience’s interest and keep it engaged throughout the performance. The amount of thought based on practical expertise to create the Margam format is nothing less than a scientific invention I believe! SHABDAM The Shabdam is the first nritya item and the third/fourth performance item in the traditional Margam .
