Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 15 April 2019 doi:10.20944/preprints201904.0157.v1 A NONLINEAR STUDY ON TIME EVOLUTION IN GHARANA TRADITION OF INDIAN CLASSICAL MUSIC ABSTRACT Indian classical music is entirely based on the “Raga” structures. In Indian classical music, a “Gharana” or school refers to the adherence of a group of musicians to a particular musical style of performing a raga. The objective of this work was to find out if any characteristic acoustic cues exist which discriminates a particular gharana from the other. Another intriguing fact is if the artists of the same gharana keep their singing style unchanged over generations or evolution of music takes place like everything else in nature. In this work, we chose to study the similarities and differences in singing style of some artists from at least four consecutive generations representing four different gharanas using robust non-linear methods. For this, alap parts of a particular raga sung by all the artists were analyzed with the help of non linear multifractal analysis (MFDFA and MFDXA) technique.

  • Bhimsen Joshi and the Kirana Gharana«
    Bhimsen Joshi and the Kirana Gharana« CHETAN KARNAN! I. INTRODUCIlON he Kirana ghariinii laid emphasis on melody rather than rhythm. In our times, Bhimsen Joshi has become the most popular artist of this gharana Tbecause he combines melody with vinuosity. His teacherSawaiGandharva combined melody with the euphony of his voice. Sawai Gandharva's teacher. Abdul Karim Khan, was a pioneer and the founder of the Kiranagharana. He had arare gift for making melodic phrases in any raga he chose to sing. Abdul Karim Khan had another notable disciple in Roshan Ara Begam, but Sawai Gandharva was by far his most distinguished disciple. Sawai Gandharva's important disciples are Bhimsen Joshi, Gangubai Hangal and Firoz Dastur. In later sections of this chapter I have emphasized the rugged masculinityof GangubaiHangal's voice. I have also discussed the systematic elaboration of ragas presentedby Firoz Dastur. Just as the Gwalior gharana has two lines represented by Haddu Khan and Hassu Khan, the Kirana gharana has two lines represented by Abdul Karim Khan and Abdul Wahid Khan. Abdul Wahid Khan combined melody with systematic elaboration of raga. He laid emphasis on the placid flow of music and preferred tosing in Jhoomra tala offourteen beats. By elaboratinga raga in slow tempo, he showed a facet of melody distinct from Abdul Karim Khan. His most di stinguished disciples were Hirabai Barodekar and Pran Nath, who sang with euphony in slow tempo. It is sheer good luck that the pioneers of the Kirana gharana, Abdul Karim Khan and Abdul Wahid Khan, were saved from oblivion by the gramophone COmpanies.

  • The Gwalior Gharana of Khayal
    THE GWALIOR GHARANA OF KHAYAL SusheeJa Misra The different gharanas in Khayal-singing have not only helped to preserve and perpetuate the older traditions through an unbroken lineage of Guru­ shishya-paratnpara, but also added much colour and infinite variety to Hindustani Music. In an article on "A spects of Karnatic Music", the late Sri G.N. Balasubramaniam (a famous performing artiste and scholar) wrote almost longingly:- "Unlike the Karnatak system, the Hindustani system is more elastic and flexible and comparatively free from inhibitions and restrictions. For instance, in the North there are several Gharanas--each one handling one and the same raga differently. In the South everywhere, every raga is ren­ dered alike". It is this scope for variety, choice of suitable style, and flights of fancy that have maintained the popul arity of the Khayal up till now. The precursors of the Khayal also used to be rendered in different styles. In ancient granthas, we come across mention of different types of "Geetis" such as "Shudhdha", "Bhinna", "Goudi", "Vesari", and "Saadhaarant", When the golden age of the Dhrupad began (during the Middle Ages), Dhrupad-gayan also had developed four "Baants" (meaning styles, or schools) namely, :-"Goudi" or "Gobarhari", "Daggur", "Khandar", and "Nowhar". When the majestic and ponderous Dhrupad had to give place to the .classico-romantic Khayal-form, the latter was developed and perfected into various styles which came to be known as "Gharanas", These "gharanas" gave an attractive variety to Khayal-singing,-each "gharana" developing its own distinctive features, although all of them were deeply rooted in a common underlying tradition or "Susampradaaya".

Precise or factual information about his life is rather sketchy and for the most part appear to be anecdotal and the lineage of his family varies from one account to another. Rahimat Khan is believed to have been born at Gwalior in 1860 and was one of the sons of Haddu Khan, who along with his elder brother Hassu Khan had achieved fame as Khayal singers at the court of Gwalior. The ancestral home of this family was originally at Hussainpur, which later became known as Husanpur-Lohari, a twin village some twenty miles northwest of Muzaffarnagar in the district of the same name, and some twenty miles north of Kairana. This area north of Delhi is generally known as the ‘Bara-basti’. The area has produced a number of gifted families of musicians of Pathan origin, but it is notknown for certain if the generations of this particular family originally came from Husanpur Lohari, or had migrated there from Lucknow during the rulership of Nawab Saddat Ali Khan II (r.1797-1814).

  • What Is Khya/?-A Critique of Wade's Khyal: Creativity Within North India's Classical Music Tradition
    What is Khya/?-A Critique of Wade's Khyal: Creativity Within North India's Classical Music Tradition Mukund Lath This book has all the trappings of an impressive production. It is published by a University with as great a tradition of scholarship as khyal has of creativity, a tradition w ith a history certainly older than that of khyal. The 350-odd pages that the book contains are beautifully printed with numerous impeccably drawn charts of sargam-s and gharana genealogies and well reproduced photographs of well­ know n musicians. Its appearance is sober but attractive, befitting the scholarly series of which it is a part. This appearance invites respect despite the fact that t he banner "ethnomusicology", under which it is published, has certain unsavoury suggestions and echoes of references to a comparatively " lower " art practised by traditionaL "third-world" communities, stagnant rather than creative. One would not write about Western classical music under this banner. 1 must hasten to add, however, that Bonnie C. Wade's attitude towards her subject has no ethnomusicological overtones in any pejorative sense. Quite the contrary, she has, in fact great admiration for khyal as an art-form. Maybe the meaning of the term "ethnomusicology" is changing, as many students of the subject claim. But then w hy not do away with the word? Is not " musicology" adequate? But no matter w hat the name of the series, a book from Cambridge is bound to arouse great expectations. A student w ill turn to the book hoping that here at last is something definitive on khyal.

Sawani’s confidence and mastery in Khayals, her crystal clear diction and overall sensitivity in presentation takes every performance to a very high aesthetic level. Her rendition of semi-classical genres highlights the emotive and expressive quality of Indian classical music and adds a very important dimension to her performance leaving audiences spellbound.
