Semi classical repertoire is an important component of semi classical tradition and folk culture, which originated among the people of a country, community or area, passed by oral tradition and regional literature from one singer or generation to the next, often existing in several versions, and marked generally by simple, modal melody and stanza or narrative verse. The style of singing a verse or lyric decides the type of semi classical repertoire whether it is folk or classical. When semi classical repertoire becomes popular and chosen up by the school classical music, and presented in the style of classical and semi-classical song nationally or internationally, it get status of semi-classical song. Semi classical songs is traditional, community and region or area specific, and has a unique style of singing a verse or lyric. These songs are simple and associated with culture and day to day life events of people of the culture they belong to. When this genre of song becomes popular and picked up by classical musicians, they perform it in a complex manner in their own style adding components of classical music. In this process these songs are recognized as semi-classical music and performed by the skilled music professionals on stage. In this way many semi-classical music originated from popular folk songs. Some of the semi classical songs became very popular because of its traditional literary value, its relevance to social activities and beauty of its simple melody attracted both the audience and the classical musicians in particular. They picked up some of the semi classical songs and started presenting in classical form adding the elements of classical music. This is also a process of evolution through which semi classical songs, Kajri and Chaiti in particular got important place in the repertoire of semi-classical music and thereby reached to the concerts at national and international level. The tradition of semi classical music in India is indeed great due to its literary value. Semi classical music is closely associated with regional literature and evolved to alleviate the hardship and break the monotony of the routine life. Semi classical songs were also used to pass on prominent information through oral literary tradition from one generation to another. Since people did not have a solid material to preserve ancient information, passing down important information in the form of songs became utmost important. Hence semi classical songs were revered by people as it not only provided musical entertainment, but also imparted regional literary traditions. Semi-classical music is a kind of music which has a standard, style, grammar, norms, and performed by skilled musicians. Even the audience requires some knowledge and understanding about the style to perceive and enjoy the song. On the other hand folk music is a kind of traditional music of common people of a particular community mostly to narrate a lyric.

A semi classical song is some sort of story from the past. By creating a song out of an event, it makes it easier to remember. Most semi classical songs are of difficult or troubled times, but there are some that celebrate or commemorate times of happiness.
