  • Siddheshwari Devi Final Edit Rev 1
    Siddheshwari Devi – The Queen of Thumri1 by Aditi Desai Kashi, Benares or Varanasi; the ancient spiritual centre of Hindustan, famous for its Ganga, its temples and ghats, pandits and pandas, had another more sensual side in its graceful yet throbbing sub-culture of music and dance. There was a time when for every devotee going to a temple to propitiate the gods there was another who, chewing his delicately flavoured paan, 1 Edited, updated and rewritten version based on: Original article written by Aditi Desai for The India Magazine, Aug. 1981, No. 9 would be strolling towards some singer’s or dancer’s house. In the Benares sunset, the sound of temple bells intermingled with the soul stirring sounds of a bhajan, a thumri, a kajri, a chaiti, a hori. And accompanying these were the melodious sounds of the sarangi or flute and the ghunghroos on the beat of the tabla that quickened the heartbeat. So great was the city’s preoccupation with music, that a distinctive style of classical music, rooted in the local folk culture, emerged and was embodied in the Benaras Gharana ( school or a distinctive style of music originating in a family tradition or lineage that can be traced to an instructor or region). A few miles from Benares, there is a village called Torvan, which appears to be like any other Thakur Brahmin village of that region. But there is a difference. This village had a few families belonging to the Gandharva Jati, a group whose traditional occupation was music and its allied arts. Amongst Gandharvas, it was the men who went out to perform while the women stayed behind.

  • Formulas and the Building Blocks of Ṭhumrī Style—A Study in “Improvised” Music
    Formulas and the Building Blocks of Ṭhumrī Style—A Study in “Improvised” Music Chloe Zadeh PART I: IMPROVISATION, STRUCTURE AND FORMULAS IN NORTH INDIAN CLASSICAL MUSIC usicians, musicologists and teenage backpackers alike speak of “improvisation” in M modern-day Indian classical music.1 Musicians use the term to draw attention to differences between different portions of a performance, distinguishing between the “composition” of a particular performance (in vocal music, a short melody, setting a couple of lines of lyrics) and the rest of the performance, which involves musical material that is different in each performance and that musicians often claim to have made up on the spur of the moment.2 In their article “Improvisation in Iranian and Indian music,” Richard Widdess and Laudan Nooshin draw attention to modern-day Indian terminology which reflects a conceptual distinction between improvised and pre-composed sections of a performance (2006, 2–4). The concept of improvisation has also been central to Western imaginings of North Indian classical music in the twentieth century. John Napier has discussed the long history of Western descriptions of Indian music as “improvised” or “extemporized,” which he dates back to the work of Fox Strangways in 1914. He points out the importance the concept took on, for example, in the way in which Indian music was introduced to mainstream Western audiences in the 1960s; he notes that the belief that the performance of Indian music 1 I am very grateful to Richard Widdess and Peter Manuel for their comments on draft versions of this article. 2 The relationship between those parts of the performance that musicians label the “composition” and the rest of the performance is actually slightly more complicated than this; throughout, a performance of North Indian classical music is normally punctuated by a refrain, or mukhra, which is a part of the composition.

  • When a Song Paid Fifty & Petrol Was Six Annas a Gallon
    When A Song Paid Fifty & Petrol Was Six Annas A Gallon Ashok Da Ranade (Published in Cinema Vision Magazine, Edi. Siddharth Kak, Cinema Vision India, New Delhi, Jan. 1983) Singer RajKumari talks to Ashok Ranade (Translated by Hilla Sethna) "I was born in a family which did not have much to do with music or singing. But just opposite the place where I lived stood a cinema hall. Close enough for me to be able to hear the songs - film songs, which gave me immense pleasure." "I was only a six or seven-year-old then. I'd get into a little frock, run across and spend hours with the cinema projectionist who I'd befriended, and who'd allow me to watch the film, standing on a stool in the projection room. And my joy knew no bounds when a song flashed upon the screen and I would sing along with it. There were many famous singers then, but I never got to know them for my social background was a different one." (I regard RajKumari as a representative singer of the pre-Lata stage of development as far as Indian film music is concerned. RajKumari's information that she has been brought up on film music and not on stage music is interesting. Because this means that she does not belong to a tradition of music which was permeated with classical music. This seems to negate the general rule in India - where the all-pervasive stage-music was a precursor to the equally pervasive film music.) "When my Guruji first asked me to sing, I felt shy.
