Raga of the Month- September, 2011- Patdeep. Raga Patdeep is considered as a Raga of recent origin, but it has a unique melodic structure which creates a high emotional appeal and a serious mood of separation. The Raga is documented in the second volume of Abhinav Geetanjali written by Pt. Ramashreya Jha, the first volume of Raga Vidnyan written by Pt. V N Patwardhan and first Volume of Raga-Darshana written by Pt. Manikbuwa Thakurdas. Raga Patdeep is considered to belong to Kafi That as it is sung by “Dhanashri anga” (although it does not contain Komal Nishad “n”). Its Melkarta, as per Carnatic Paddhati is “Gaurimanohari”. It has similarities with Raga Bhimpalasi and Dhanashri, still it has a melodic personality distinct from these two Ragas. The Raga contains S, R,g,M, P, D, N. Stress on Pancham “P” and “P-g” sangati are observed which are characteristic of Dhanashrianga. P and S are recommended as Vadi and Samvadi notes and the traditionally followed time for presentation is third quadrant (Prahar) of day i.e. 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. The Raga is presented by Shubha Joshi- a renowned disciple of three stalwarts of BhendiBazaar Gharana, namely, Pt. Pandurang Amberkar, Pt. Ramesh Nadkarni and Master Navrang. She presents a madhyalaya Bandish composed by Ustad Aman Ali Khan and a drut Bandish. Brief description of the grammar of the Raga is given below from academic point of view: Aroha – ‘NSgMP, PNNS’’ or PN-DNS’’; Avaroha – S’’ (N)DP or S’’ NDP, MPg- (S)RS or MPg- Mg (S)R S; Pakad (Distinctive Tonal Phrases)- gMPN, PNS’’DP, MPg- Mg (S)RS Phrases to be avoided- Stress or Halt on M (Bhimpalasi); Halt on g in Aroha (Piloo). Listen {Note- The famous Natyageet “Marmabandhatali Thewa Hi” from the drama “Sanyasta Khadag” is based on Raga Patdeep} {Updated 29-08-2011} .

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.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract Thumri is a vocal genre in North Indian (Hindustani) art music. It was traditionally used in songstress-courtesan performance, in the early nineteenth century as an accompaniment to interpretive dance, and later as a lyrical and emotive song form. TTiumri is now one of the most popular genres in contemporary art music. The lyrics of thumri have not been the subject of extensive academic enquiry. This dissertation examines thumri texts from two perspectives: linguistic and contextual. It is primarily based on song texts collected during field work in North India in 1996-97, as well as on material transcribed from commercial recordings and printed sources.

Identifying Raga Similarity in Hindustani Classical Music Through Distributed Representation of Raga Names
Identifying Raga Similarity in Hindustani Classical Music through Distributed Representation of Raga Names Joe Cheri Ross1, Rudra Murthy1, Kaustuv Kanti Ganguli2, and Pushpak Bhattacharyya1 1 Dept. of Computer Science & Engineering 2 Dept. of Electrical Engineering Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, Mumbai, India [email protected] Abstract. This paper investigates a method to identify the similarity between ragas in Hindustani classical music using textual discussions on ragas. The pro- posed approach learn representations in the form of word vectors for raga names, which can be used to extract similarities between ragas. This can be applied for generating word vectors for any specific domain with data scarcity. The method learns word vectors of dataset specific words (absent in the general pool of word vectors) with the help of the specific dataset and pre-trained word vectors trained on general English corpus like Google word vectors. The proposed method yields better results over the baselines signifying its appropriateness to any specific dataset. 1 Introduction Hindustani music is the north Indian style of Indian classical music and is one among the two classical music traditions in India (south Indian tradition is Carnatic music). Raga is the predominant melodic concept in Indian classical music, which can be considered as the tonal framework for composition and improvisation [1]. A raga defines the permitted notes, their order and hierarchy, style of intonation of individual notes, relative duration and their specific melodic approach [2]. A raga ontology [3] is integral to knowledge representation approaches for Hindustani classical music, especially for representing meta-data information along with the audio content information.

Godly Gowri Manohari Raagam Gowrimanohari Is a Peaceful and Divine Raga That Brings Joy. This Raga Is Ideal for Prayer. the Aroh
Godly Gowri Manohari Raagam Gowrimanohari is a peaceful and divine raga that brings joy. This raga is ideal for prayer. The arohana and avarohana are symmetrical, giving rise to a harmonious flow of phrases. This raga is a sampoorna scale, the 23rd melakarta in the 72-melakarta scheme. The raga Gaurivelavali in Dikshitar’s system of music is closelyrelated to this raga, save a few minor differences. The notes in this raga include sadja, chatusruti rishaba, sadharana gandhara, suddha madhyama, pancama, chatusruti dhaivata, and kakali nishada. The gamakas in Gowrimanohari are graceful, the rishaba, nishadaand madhyama being vital notes, lendthemselves to a variety of tonal oscillations. In classical music, the important kritis include exquisitely-structured ‘Guruleka’ and ‘Garudagamana Vasudeva’ of Thyagaraja, ‘Kaumari’ of Dikshitar, and ‘Gowrimanohara’of Papanasam Sivan. ‘Brovasamaya’ is a cleverly-crafted kriti of Garbhapuri Srinivasa Iyengar. Dr. V.V. Srivatsa’s ‘Kausaleya’ is also a fine piece in this raga. In film music, a striking piece is ‘Nee Thaan Allamal’ from "Velaikari. It begins with a "Nee thaan allamal" swarakshara at the nishada. This raga gained popularity with the monumental ‘Paattum Naane’ from Thiruvilaiyaadal, composed by K.V. Mahadevan and rendered by T.M. Soundararajan. In the phrase, ‘Padum Unnai Naan Padavaithene’, the catchy prayoga PDNSD,P/MPGR is aptly positioned, typical of the raga. Interesting instruments — the veena, the flute, percussion…— have been used in this piece. The kalpanaswara exchanges at the end of the piece are an aural treat. ‘Gowrimanoharaiyai Kanden’from Mazhalai Pattalam, with music by M.S. Viswanathan is an attractive piece in this raga.
