Ik loha pooj main rakhat, Ik ghar badhik Paro, Paras ye avagun nahin maanat, Kanchan karar kharo. Prabhu ji more avagun Chit na dharo!! Ik nadiya ik naar kahavat, mailo hi neer bharo, Ye dou mil ek baran bhaye, Sur sari naam paro. Ik maye ik brahm kahavat, Soor syam jhagaro. Prabhu ji more avagun Chit na dharo!!

    Fizzy Drinks and Sufi Music: Abida Parveen in Coke Studio Pakistan By Zainub Beg A Thesis Submitted to Saint Mary’s University, K’jipuktuk/Halifax, Nova Scotia in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Theology and Religious Studies. December 2020, Halifax, Nova Scotia Copyright Zainub Beg, 2020 Approved: Dr. Syed Adnan Hussain Supervisor Approved: Dr. Reem Meshal Examiner Approved: Dr. Sailaja Krishnamurti Reader Date: December 21, 2020 1 Fizzy Drinks and Sufi Music: Abida Parveen in Coke Studio Pakistan by Zainub Beg Abstract Abida Parveen, often referred to as the Queen of Sufi music, is one of the only female qawwals in a male-dominated genre. This thesis will explore her performances for Coke Studio Pakistan through the lens of gender theory. I seek to examine Parveen’s blurring of gender, Sufism’s disruptive nature, and how Coke Studio plays into the two. I think through the categories of Islam, Sufism, Pakistan, and their relationship to each other to lead into my analysis on Parveen’s disruption in each category. I argue that Parveen holds a unique position in Pakistan and Sufism that cannot be explained in binary terms.

  • Distinguishing Raga-Specific Intonation of Phrases with Audio Analysis
    Journal of ITC Sangeet Research Academy — 58 DISTINGUISHING RAGA-SPECIFIC INTONATION OF PHRASES WITH AUDIO ANALYSIS Preeti Rao*, Joe Cheri RossŦ and Kaustuv Kanti Ganguli* Department of Electrical Engineering* Department of Computer Ŧ Science and Engineering Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, Mumbai 400076, India {prao, kaustuvkanti}@ee.iitb.ac.in* Ŧ [email protected] Abstract The identity of a raga in a performance is exposed through the occurrence of characteristic melodic phrases or “catch phrases” of the raga. While a phrase is represented as a simple sequence of notes in written notation, the interpretation of the notation by a performer invokes his knowledge of raga grammar and thus the characteristic continuous pitch movement that represents the particular phrase intonation. A performer's skill is closely linked with his ability to render creatively and unambiguously the distinctive aspects of a raga including its phrases or melodic motifs. Similarly, listeners identify the raga by the characteristic melodic shape of the phrase. We present a study to validate implicit musical knowledge that raga-characteristic phrases are relatively invariant across concerts and artistes by means of a time series similarity measure applied to melodic pitch contours extracted from audio recordings of Hindustani classical vocal concerts. The measure, which can discriminate phrases, even with the same svara sequence, corresponding to different ragas, has applications in music retrieval. Further, it has potential in the objective evaluation of raga phrases rendered by a music learner. 1.Introduction Along with the svaras that define the raga in Hindustani and Carnatic music, the identity of a raga in a performance is exposed through the occurrence of characteristic melodic phrases or pakads of the raga.

  • The Role of the Beatles in Popularizing Indian Music and Culture in the West Rodrigo Guerrero Faculty Advisors: Dr
    32 The Role of The Beatles in Popularizing Indian Music and Culture in the West Rodrigo Guerrero Faculty Advisors: Dr. Charles Brewer, Dr. Sarah Eyerly, and Dr. Douglass Seaton College of Music Abstract: The Beatles were responsible for several long-lasting innovations that shaped the history of pop music and Western culture in general. As a British rock band that dominated the popular music scene during the 1960s, they made one of their most significant, yet sometimes overlooked, contributions through the incorporation of elements from Indian culture in their music and lyrics. This essay discusses the role that the Beatles played in introducing and popularizing certain features of Indian culture, and specifically Indian music, in the Western hemisphere. I first describe their relationship with Indian culture. In this section, I bring forth questions, such as why they became interested in this culture, why they decided to go on a spiritual retreat to India, and how the trip influenced their thoughts about foreign culture. After that, this essay analyzes the influence of Indian culture and Indian music on the Beatles’ lyrics and music, respectively. Finally, I will illuminate the lasting effect that this cross- fertilization had in subsequent years. he 1960s was a decade of experimentation in popular music. The Beatles, the British rock band that dominated the popular music scene Tduring this decade, was responsible for long-lasting innovations that would shape the history and style of pop music and Western culture. One of their most significant, yet overlooked, contributions to Western culture was the incorporation of Indian musical elements into their songs.
