In the present times, “Dhrupad” Music needs to be preserved and extensively propagated and researched upon. Keeping these objectives in mind, this trust is being constituted to conserve this ancient leading form of music and make it popular among the masses to keep this cultural heritage alive. “History of Dhrupad” “Dhrupad” is the oldest form of ancient Indian Classical Music which is still alive in its aboriginal form. In the sixteenth century, it was in its golden period during the reign of Raja Man Singh Tomar, the king of Gwalior. Legendary musicians of our country like “Baiju Baavra” and “Tansen” were “Dhrupad” singers. Since the independence of our country, Dhrupad Musicians lost their patronage and with that, this demanding form of music started losing large numbers of its scholars and musicologists.

  • 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”.

    THE FUTURISTIC AND INNOVATIVE CHANGES IN INDIAN MUSIC Dr.Amanpreet Kaur Kang Asst. professor Music vocal, GGS Khalsa College for Women Jhar Sahib Ludhiana There is no society on earth without music. Music is a vehicle of religious , social and symbolic life .Different theories opinions inferences concerning origin of music, developed from time to time .But these cannot be supported fully although there remains some clues information about music. But one thing is sure that concept and consciousness of music is not recent. it is supposed that after the recognition of Udat, Anudat and swarit other four swaras were recognized then saptak come into existence. It is creativity of human beings to discover various melodious tunes from these seven swaras. These creative humans discovered the passage of freedom self realization and peace by making musical sounds. Music also appeared as a medium of expression and also as a special language. A number of rages were formed out of seven swaras. The raga is supreme and is gradual unfolding the subject of classical Hindustani music presentation. Compositions or Bandishes are based upon the twin concept of raga and tala Indian Music’s unique gift to the World. Today Indian music is best represented by the farm Khayal which came into its own by mid eighteenth century when the popularity of Dhrupad form began to wave steadily after having enjoyed the status of primary form of main stage vocal classical music for over three hundred years. With the Mughal invasion innovations took place in Indian music. For example as Dhrupad gayan shelly got replaced by Khayal Gayan Shelly.In the Shade of Creating Some new Style of Singing which is easier than Dhrupad Khayal Gayan Shelly was Invented .A singer could explain the raag as much as he could according to his nature and imagination.

Contact: [email protected] 5 Music, the Media, and Communal Relations in North India, Past and Present PETER MANUEL MUCH OF THE DISCUSSION of communalism has attempted to ascertain the depth of the evident communal sentiment reflected in recent distur­ bances and the rise of Hindu militancy. Amrita Basu's essay above echoes a similar question about cultural history: do current developments reflect profound, long-standing, grass-roots animosity, or, alternately, are they merely the products of contemporary elite manipulation, ultimately con­ ditioned by factorsother than religious ones? While sociopolitical history is a natural focusfor such inquiries, the study of expressive culture may re­ veal much about social practices and attitudes, both elite and grass-roots, past and present. This chapter focuses on musical culture in north India, outlining relevant aspects of the social history of classical music, and pre­ senting some observations on twentieth-century folkand popular musics. My discussion of the contemporary scene will also refer to related forms of expressive culture, notably Hindi cinema and the sociopolitical uses of cassettes. Given the extraordinary diversity of South Asian musical genres and practices, any attempt to generalize about music's relation to communal­ ism is destined to a degree of superficiality.

  • An Inquiry Into Contextualized Christian Expression in North India
    © 2011 M. J. Gracin ii ABSTRACT AN INQUIRY INTO CONTEXTUALIZED CHRISTIAN EXPRESSION IN NORTH INDIA M. J. Gracin Liberty University The riches of India’s ancient and diverse culture are proclaimed from the music that communicates the heart of Bharat Mata – Mother India. This sentiment resounds across the vast geographical area of India in songs from Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Buddhists, Christians and Bollywood composers. The question of how Christians might express their faith in light of societal, historical and religious amalgamations is the topic of discussion for this project. The inquiry will focus on the music culture of North India, specifically as it is expressed in the city of B_____, Uttar Pradesh. A six week field study was conducted in India to interview Hindu musicians and non-musicians. Audio and video recordings were made of the interviews, and photographs and recordings were made of various performances. The analysis endeavors to fill the gap concerning an understanding of the need for contextualized Christian expression and recommendations are presented for carrying out the task. iii CONTENTS CHAPTER I: INTRODUCTION ................................................................................................5 Project Significance ...............................................................................................................5 Definition of Purpose .............................................................................................................9 Intended Outcomes .............................................................................................................
