In The Wonderful World of Dance, Arnold Haskell states that “Traditional belief says the god Siva set the world in motion with a dance.” Dancing in traditional Hindu societies is an act of worship, not entertainment. Even today, if someone wants to learn the classical dances, he or she must be accepted as a student by a guru (teacher). This requires a complete commitment on the part of both the student and the teacher. There are four great schools of Hindu dancing, (Bharata Natyam, Kathakali, Kathak and Manipuri); each of these evolved from the material written in an ancient book called Natya Sastra (the science of dancing). It is believed that this book, which was written about the time Christ was born, includes the secrets of dance. Tradition states that these secrets were entrusted to Bharata and came directly from the gods. The book The god Siva, includes positions and movements for each part of the body, dividing it into setting the world in three parts: limbs, which include the head, chest, hips, legs, arms, feet and motion with a dance hands; intermediate parts, which include the neck, shoulders, palms, back, stomach, thighs, ankles, knees, elbows and wrists; and the lesser limbs, which include the eyes, eyebrows, eyelashes, cheeks, nose, lips, teeth, tongue, chin, mouth and jaw. In addition, the Natya Sastra describes more that 4,000 picture gestures of the hands, which are called ‘mudras.’ These gestures symbolize ideas such as a swimming fish, a flying bird, a lotus flower in bloom, a tree or a breeze and may also describe a mood such as anger, fear, sadness, love or heroism. This lesson is based on twelve examples of combined hand gestures from the Manipuri dance technique and represents their version of the ones described in the Natya Sastra. OBJECTIVES: (Student Outcomes) Students will be able to: • Learn twelve traditional hand gestures from the Manipuri dance technique. (Responding & Connecting) • Incorporate the twelve hand gestures in the telling of a short story. (Creating & Performing) • Describe, discuss, analyze and connect information and experiences based on this lesson. Refer to Assessment at the end of this lesson.

  • Categorization of Stringed Instruments with Multifractal Detrended Fluctuation Analysis
    CATEGORIZATION OF STRINGED INSTRUMENTS WITH MULTIFRACTAL DETRENDED FLUCTUATION ANALYSIS Archi Banerjee*, Shankha Sanyal, Tarit Guhathakurata, Ranjan Sengupta and Dipak Ghosh Sir C.V. Raman Centre for Physics and Music Jadavpur University, Kolkata: 700032 *[email protected] * Corresponding Author ABSTRACT Categorization is crucial for content description in archiving of music signals. On many occasions, human brain fails to classify the instruments properly just by listening to their sounds which is evident from the human response data collected during our experiment. Some previous attempts to categorize several musical instruments using various linear analysis methods required a number of parameters to be determined. In this work, we attempted to categorize a number of string instruments according to their mode of playing using latest-state-of-the-art robust non-linear methods. For this, 30 second sound signals of 26 different string instruments from all over the world were analyzed with the help of non linear multifractal analysis (MFDFA) technique. The spectral width obtained from the MFDFA method gives an estimate of the complexity of the signal. From the variation of spectral width, we observed distinct clustering among the string instruments according to their mode of playing. Also there is an indication that similarity in the structural configuration of the instruments is playing a major role in the clustering of their spectral width. The observations and implications are discussed in detail. Keywords: String Instruments, Categorization, Fractal Analysis, MFDFA, Spectral Width INTRODUCTION Classification is one of the processes involved in audio content description. Audio signals can be classified according to miscellaneous criteria viz. speech, music, sound effects (or noises).

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.

South Asia has too many colorful nations and they owned different culture from the very beginning. Folk music is like a treasure of South Asian culture. According to history, South Asian people established themselves here as a nation (Arya) before five thousand years from today and started to live with native people. So a perfect mixture of two ancient nations and their culture produced a new South Asia. This paper explores the massive changes that happened to South Asian folk music which creates several ways to correspond to their root and how they are different from each other. After many natural disasters and political changes, South Asian people faced many socio-economic conditions but there was the only way to share their feelings. They articulated their sorrows, happiness, wishes, prayers, and love with music, celebrated social and religious festivals all the way through music. As a result, bunches of folk music are being created with different lyric and tune in every corner of South Asia.

  • A Non Linear Approach Towards Automated Emotion Analysis in Hindustani Music
    A NON LINEAR APPROACH TOWARDS AUTOMATED EMOTION ANALYSIS IN HINDUSTANI MUSIC Shankha Sanyal*1,2, Archi Banerjee1,2, Tarit Guhathakurata1, Ranjan Sengupta1 and Dipak Ghosh1 1Sir C.V. Raman Centre for Physics and Music, 2Department of Physics Jadavpur University, Kolkata: 700032 *[email protected] ABSTRACT: In North Indian Classical Music, raga forms the basic structure over which individual improvisations is performed by an artist based on his/her creativity. The Alap is the opening section of a typical Hindustani Music (HM) performance, where the raga is introduced and the paths of its development are revealed using all the notes used in that particular raga and allowed transitions between them with proper distribution over time. In India, corresponding to each raga, several emotional flavors are listed, namely erotic love, pathetic, devotional, comic, horrific, repugnant, heroic, fantastic, furious, peaceful. The detection of emotional cues from Hindustani Classical music is a demanding task due to the inherent ambiguity present in the different ragas, which makes it difficult to identify any particular emotion from a certain raga. In this study we took the help of a high resolution mathematical microscope (MFDFA or Multifractal Detrended Fluctuation Analysis) to procure information about the inherent complexities and time series fluctuations that constitute an acoustic signal. With the help of this technique, 3 min alap portion of six conventional ragas of Hindustani classical music namely, Darbari Kanada, Yaman, Mian ki Malhar, Durga, Jay Jayanti and Hamswadhani played in three different musical instruments were analyzed. The results are discussed in detail. Keywords: Emotion Categorization, Hindustani Classical Music, Multifractal Analysis; Complexity INTRODUCTION: Musical instruments are often thought of as linear harmonic systems, and a first-order description of their operation can indeed be given on this basis.
