INDIAN CLASSICAL MUSIC

INDIAN CLASSICAL MUSIC

   Indian classical music is the classical music of the Indian subcontinent. It has two major traditions: the North Indian classical musictradition is called Hindustani, while the SouthIndian expression is called carnataki. Indian classical music has two foundational elements, raga and tala.

Hindustani classical music

   Around the 12th century, Hindustani classical music diverged from what eventually came to be identified as Carnatic classical music. Hindustani music places more emphasis on improvisation and exploring all aspects of a raga, while Carnatic music is primarily composition - based. The central notion in both these systems is that of a melodic [[musical mode or raga, sung to a rhythmic cycle or tala. It is melodic music, with no concept of harmony.

Carnataki music

   Carnatic music or Karnāṭak music or Karnāṭaka Saṃgīta is a system of music commonly associated with the southern part of the Indian subcontinent, with its area roughly confined to five modern states of India: Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh,Kerala, Telangana and Tamil Nadu as well as shri Lanka.

The main traditional forms of improvisation in Carnatic music consist of the following
  • Alapana
  • Niraval
  • Pallavi
  • Ragam
  • Swarakalpana
  • Tanam
  • Tani Avartanam
What is Raga or raag?
Raga or raag is a melodic framework for improvisation akin to a melodic mode in Indian classical music. 

What is taal or tala?
It is the term used in Indian classical music to refer to musical meter, that is any rhythmic beat or strike that measures musical time.
