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”. -
