Classical music is based on systems of Indian music. the concepts of raga and tala. Music theory, called sangita shastra, is found in written texts and is transmitted orally as well. ¨ The Natyashastra, compiled before 400 CE, is a compendium of theory on theater, dance, and music. ¨ The ninth-century Brihaddesi contains the first extended treatment of raga. ¨ The thirteenth-century Sangitaratnakara is the premier text of the medieval period. Its seven chapters became the basis for many later texts written in Persian and regional languages. The chapters cover: • pitch (svara) • rhythm (tala) • melody (raga) • instruments (vadya) • various techniques (prakiranaka) • dance (nrtya) • compositions (prabandha) ¨ In the context of South Asia, “theory” and “text” should not be understood as being entirely dependent on written books. Ragas ¨ Ragas are the melodic structures of Indian classical music. They are defined in terms of scale and pitch and also in terms of expressive quality and other associations. B Each raga uses specific pitches in a scale. For example, the HindustaniRaga Yaman uses the pitches of the natural or Western major scale but with a sharp 4th. B Some pitches are resting notes on which the melody often lingers. The main resting notes of Raga Yaman are the 3rd and the 7th. B The pitches of a raga are used in particular phrasings and contours. In Yaman, the phrasings 7 2 3 and 7 6 4 6 5 occur over and over. B Certain pitches and phrasing require delicate slides and microtones. The 7th in Yaman is often delicately sharpened, and there is a slide between 2 and 3. A raga is performed by a main vocalist or instrumentalist, or sometimes two, accompanied by a small ensemble. A raga performance consists of a sequence of composed and improvised sections. #OfficialReadySet 2015–2016 | 19 Death of Baluswamy Dikshitar, who is credited with introducing the violin in 1859 Carnatic music Dwarkin & Son, a seller of Western and Indian instruments, is founded in c.1875 Kolkata and begins manufacturing the Indian harmonium.

  • 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".

  • The Seductive Voice
    > The art of seduction The seductive voice Charles Darwin had no doubts about the origins of music – it was a kind of mating call, a primitive language of the emotions from an early stage of evolution. While his ideas about music and evolution have often been alluded to, Darwin never really paid much attention to music. His contemporary Herbert Spencer, who was much more conversant with music, saw it differently – music had evolved from language, in particular speech laden with emotion.
