  Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Indian classical music. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it.

History of Classical Music & Raga

History of Classical Music & Raga History of Classical Music & Raga

According to Vishnu Narayan Bhatkhande (1860-1936), one of the most influential musicologists in the field of North Indian classical music, each one of the several traditional Ragas is based on, or is a variation of, ten basic thaats, or musical scales or frameworks. Each Raga has its own scale consisting of minimum five and maximum seven notes (swars). In today's Indian classical music raga is the backbone. The word raga comes from Sanskrit word which means to delight or to make happy and to satisfy. Here it's necessary to clarify that not all ragas project a happy mood. The raga can produce various moods. Raga is neither a scale, nor a mode. It is, however, a scientific, precise and melodic form with its own peculiar ascending and descending movement that consists of either a full octave, or a series of six or five notes. Raga has its own principal mood such as tranquility, devotion, eroticism, loneliness, pathos, heroism, etc. Each raga is associated, according to its mood, with a particular time of the day, night or a season. A music, which follows the characteristics of this tradition, is called classical - in opposition to western classical music, where classical means belonging to a period of time (approximately from 16th to 17th century). All classical music follows this rule even if some completely different styles exist side by side. Indian classical music is based on the ragas ("colors"), which are scales and melodies that provide the foundation for a performance. Unlike western classical music, that is deterministic, where Indian classical music allows for a much greater degree of "personalization" of the performance, almost to the level of jazz-like improvisation. Thus, each performance of a raga is different. The goal of the raga is to create a mood of delight. The main differences with western classical music are that the Indian ragas are not “composed” by a composer, but were created via a lengthy evolutionary process over the centuries. Thus they do not represent mind of the composer but a universal idea of the world. They transmit not personal but impersonal emotion. Another difference is that Indian music is monophonic, not polyphonic. Hindustani (North Indian) ragas are assigned to specific times of the day (or night) and to specific seasons. Many ragas share the same scale, and many ragas share the same melodic theme. There are hundreds of ragas, but thirty are considered fundamental. A raga is not necessarily instrumental and if vocal, it is not necessarily accompanied. But when it is accompanied by percussion (such as tablas), the rhythm is often rather complex because it is constructed from a combination of fundamental rhythmic patterns (or talas). The main instrument of the ragas is the sitar. To develop precisely a raga, the musician needs the presence of a drone, whatever the music. Singers are always accompanied with the taanpura or the harmoniums, which produce the singer's tonic and dominant (Sa and Pa). Classical music is mainly divided into two branches, North and South. North Indian Classical music (some people know as Indian) in reference of the Hindi speaking region going toNorthwest and to the East. Many styles and genres have been developed and encouraged by a family system now called Gharana. These numerous Gharanas all over North India have developed very different styles of music, genres and instruments. Source =Source

Western Music Notes Verses Indian

Western Music Notes Verses Indian

Before we can learn how to play scales it is vital that we learn the notes on keyboard and how they relate to each other. The best way to describe the notes on the keyboard is by comparing them to the Western Music Notes Verses Indian notes of the alphabets. The first seven notes of the keyboard are ( A - B - C - D - E - F - G ). Each note differs with each other in sound. Notice that the seven notes of keyboard repeat themselves over and over again. The notes sound the same but the pitch differs. For example if you play C and move to the right until you find the next C, you will notice that if you play them simultaneously, both notes sounds the same but one is higher than the other. Middle C marks the center of the keyboard. As you will notice the western C major scale is the easiest and simplest scale of the twelve. In C major scale you may play the song "Ik pyar kaa nagma hai". In western system it consists all the white keys from any starting C to the next octave C. A standard semi professional music keyboard has 48 keys. You will see 4 sets of 12 keys. This 12 set of notes is technically called an octave. Why 12, why not 13?, Good question. The aim of this issue is to keep it simple; Western is based on logarithmic division. In Indian system of music you can start playing Indian or Pakistani songs from any note and starting note will always become our reference note or Sa. Remaining notes will be arranged according to achal komal and tiver system. It is recommended that you select first black key for learning keyboard or harmonium. In western music, Fifth note from C is as 5. In Indian music “Sa” note is based on our reference note or the key we selected for starting point as the Sa. We can further go in deep by playing songs in raga of that particular thaat. To play song in ragas need practice and concept of raga must be clear. In the western music system the “C note” itself does not change and “scales” denotes the pitch changes. Western music system has an “absolute” naming for the keys whereas in Indian the notation is “relative.Desi music has combined both by adding chords with melody. In the seven tone-scale the second, third, fourth, sixth, and seventh notes can be sharp or flat, making up the twelve notes in the western scale. However, ragas can specify microtonal changes to this scale: a flatter second, a sharper seventh, and so forth. Furthermore, such variations can occur between styles, performers or simply follow the mood of the performer. There is no absolute pitch; instead, each performance simply picks a ground note, and the other scale degrees follow relative to the ground note. Note: “Sa” does not “map” always onto “C”. It could start at F and still form S R G M P D N scale in which case the corresponding notes also changes. You may temporarily relate the “Sa” of Indian to “C#” of Western that is fortunately identical to each other. A Scale is a set of 7 notes in a proper order and interval. Or a scale is a set of 7 notes with predefined intervals. The distance between each note is called as interval. It is true that scales and ragas are not same. Apart from having seven different notes, there are not many similarities. There is a huge difference between a scale and raga in tonal quality or the sound density. Melody and rhythm are the common grounds for music, be it western or Indian. Indian music is essentially monophonic (single melody format or homophonic) while Western music can be polyphonic (multiple notes played or sung in harmonized arrangement), monophonic or a combination of both. Western classical music is based upon the equal tempered scale, and rests upon melody, harmony and counterpart while swars and taalas are the two basic components of Indian classical music. Swars are the twelve notes and the intervening semitones, while a taal is a cycle of beats, starting with a stress point called the sam and ending with a release point called the khali. It is this (sam & khali) that brings life toa taal.
