  • 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. 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. Tal literally means "clap".

  • Darbhanga Dhrupad Tradition Sumeet Anand Pandey
    Darbhanga Dhrupad Tradition Sumeet Anand Pandey Dhrupad Dhrupad is the oldest surviving genre of Hindustāni (North Indian) classical music, and has its initial origins in the ancient tradition of Vedic chanting1 (2000 BCE). By 1200 CE the styles of Vedic chanting called Chhanda and Prabandha had developed with the introduction of verse and metre. It is from these two styles that Dhrupad emerged. Practitioners of dhrupad, also referred to as Dhrupadiya, treat it as a contemplative and meditative form, sustained for centuries by traditions of classical and devotional music. While its soul remains unchanged, it is thought that dhrupad has adapted its character and temperament over the last fi ve to six centuries. This is possibly due to its vast travels from temples, to royal courts and fi nally into the public performance arena. Dhrupad recital typically begins with an extended alāp,2 sung with tānpura in four stages. It uses the syllables derived from the mantra ‘Om Anant Hari Nārāyana’ to sing its melody. 1 Vedic chanting: a form of religious chanting, where the vocalisation of hymns from the Vedas (ancient scriptures of Hinduism) are repeated in three notes - Udātt, Anudātt and Swarit. 2 Alāp: an introductory melodic improvisation that introduces and develops the rāga. There is no rhythm or percussion. A full alāp has three parts, anibaddha (slow, no meter), j odd or madhya laya (mid-tempo) and Jhāla or drut laya (fast tempo). 2 The Pakhāwaj is a double-headed, barrel-shaped drum used for accompanying the composition. The composition has four parts, namely sthāye, antara, sanchāri and ābhog.

  • Bhai Avtar Singh Gurcharan Singh
    BHAI AVTAR SINGH GURCHARAN SINGH, THE OLD- GUARDS OF DHRUPAD BASED GURMAT SANGEET Harjap Singh Aujla Bhai Avtar Singh and Bhai Gurcharan Singh, formerly of village Saidpur near the holy town of Sultanpur Lodhi in erstwhile Kapurthala State (presently Kapurthala district of Punjab) are considered a live-wire between the music of the era of the great ten gurus and the modern day Sikh community and the World. Worthy sons of Late Bhai Jawala Singh ji (a highly accomplished Kirtania of his time), they started learning vintage “Gurmat Sangeet” from their iconic father. By the time they formed an independent “Kirtan Jatha”, after getting blessings to do so from their father, they had already mastered the art of unadulterated rendition of approximately five hundred “Reets” (tunes) spanning into all the thirty one “Raagas” mentioned in the holy “Sri Guru Granth Sahib”. All the meticulous training they received from their father reflects in their style and substance. Bhai Avtar Singh, the younger of the two brothers, went to his heavenly abode in November of 2006. Throughout his life as a “Kirtania”, he (Bhai Avtar Singh) remembered all those five hundred “Reets” and had recorded all of them for the Punjabi University Patiala and approximately three hundred and eighty of these “Reets” he recorded for T-Series Recording Company for commercial release. For a layman, it will be appropriate to tell the difference between the “Gurmat Sangeet” rendered and propagated by Bhai Jawala Singh ji and his sons Bhai Avtar Singh and Bhai Gurcharan Singh ji and the “Sikh Sangeet” of their other contemporaries and present day “Kirtanias”.
