  • January, 2017 Raga Koushikranjani (Kaishikranjani,Chandrahas,Bahaderkouns, Chandramukhitypeii) in This Month We Shall Study Raga Koushikranjani
    Raga of the Month- January, 2017 Raga Koushikranjani (Kaishikranjani,Chandrahas,BahaderKouns, ChandramukhiTypeII) In this month we shall study Raga Koushikranjani. This raga was introduced by Late Pandit Chidanand Nagarkar*. The Raga is based on the platform of Raga Chandrakouns. Shuddha Rishabh is introduced in Arohi as well as Avarohi order and Pancham is varjya swara. The Scale of the Raga Koushikranjani is SRgMdN. The Raga is included in Asavari Thata and in Melakartha No. 21 Kirwani in Carnatic Music. Raga Nadasanjivi of Carnatic Music resembles Raga Koushikranjini closely. Although Chandrakouns effect is prominent in this raga, phrases SRg-Rs and SRgM (without stress or elongation of Komal Gandhar) hints Raga Abhogi. Phrase SRM, which is a characteristic phrase of Raga Chandraprabha, is avoided.

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. South Indian Percussion Mridangam Dolak Kanjira Gattam North Indian Percussion Tabla Baya (a.k.a. Tabla) Pakhawaj Indian Rhythm Terms Tal (also tala, taal, or taala) – The Indian system of rhythm.

  • Modeling a Performance in Indian Classical Music: Multinomial
    Archive of Cornell University e-library; arXiv:0809.3214v1[cs.SD][stat.AP]. http://arxiv.org/abs/0809.3214 A Statistical Approach to Modeling Indian Classical Music Performance 1Soubhik Chakraborty*, 2Sandeep Singh Solanki, 3Sayan Roy, 4Shivee Chauhan, 5Sanjaya Shankar Tripathy and 6Kartik Mahto 1Department of Applied Mathematics, BIT Mesra, Ranchi-835215, India 2, 3, 4, 5,6Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, BIT Mesra, Ranchi-835215, India Email:[email protected](S.Chakraborty) [email protected] (S.S.

Chakraborty is the corresponding author (phone: +919835471223) Words make you think a thought. Music makes you feel a feeling. A song makes you feel a thought. -------- E. Y. Harburg (1898-1981) Abstract A raga is a melodic structure with fixed notes and a set of rules characterizing a certain mood endorsed through performance. By a vadi swar is meant that note which plays the most significant role in expressing the raga. A samvadi swar similarly is the second most significant note. However, the determination of their significance has an element of subjectivity and hence we are motivated to find some truths through an objective analysis. The paper proposes a probabilistic method of note detection and demonstrates how the relative frequency (relative number of occurrences of the pitch) of the more important notes stabilize far more quickly than that of others. In addition, a count for distinct transitory and similar looking non-transitory (fundamental) frequency movements (but possibly embedding distinct emotions!) between the notes is also taken depicting the varnalankars or musical ornaments decorating the notes and note sequences as rendered by the artist.

  • Analyzing the Melodic Structure of a Raga-Based Song
    Georgian Electronic Scientific Journal: Musicology and Cultural Science 2009 | No.2(4) A Statistical Analysis Of A Raga-Based Song Soubhik Chakraborty1*, Ripunjai Kumar Shukla2, Kolla Krishnapriya3, Loveleen4, Shivee Chauhan5, Mona Kumari6, Sandeep Singh Solanki7 1, 2Department of Applied Mathematics, BIT Mesra, Ranchi-835215, India 3-7Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, BIT Mesra, Ranchi-835215, India * email: [email protected] Abstract The origins of Indian classical music lie in the cultural and spiritual values of India and go back to the Vedic Age. The art of music was, and still is, regarded as both holy and heavenly giving not only aesthetic pleasure but also inducing a joyful religious discipline. Emotion and devotion are the essential characteristics of Indian music from the aesthetic side. From the technical perspective, we talk about melody and rhythm. A raga, the nucleus of Indian classical music, may be defined as a melodic structure with fixed notes and a set of rules characterizing a certain mood conveyed by performance.. The strength of raga-based songs, although they generally do not quite maintain the raga correctly, in promoting Indian classical music among laymen cannot be thrown away. The present paper analyzes an old and popular playback song based on the raga Bhairavi using a statistical approach, thereby extending our previous work from pure classical music to a semi-classical paradigm. The analysis consists of forming melody groups of notes and measuring the significance of these groups and segments, analysis of lengths of melody groups, comparing melody groups over similarity etc. Finally, the paper raises the question “What % of a raga is contained in a song?” as an open research problem demanding an in-depth statistical investigation.
