  2. Indian Music

  3. History • Oldest: dating back to the Vedas • Not focused on harmony or dynamic like western classical music.

  4. Focused on: Nava Rasa (The Nine Sentiments) • Shringara (romantic and erotic) • Hasya(humorous) • Karuna(pathetic) • Raudra (anger) • Veera (heroic) • Bhayanaka (fearful) • Vibhatsa(disgustful) • Adbhuta(amazement) • Shanta(peaceful)

  5. Learning Strategies • A lot like Jazz improvisation. • Taught orally • Guru teaches • Not recorded or written down.

  6. Ragas: Ravi Shankar defines ragas as: "Ragas are extremely difficult to explain in a few words. Though Indian music is modal in character, ragas should not be mistaken as modes that one hears in the music of the Middle and Far Eastern countries, nor be understood to be a scale, melody per se, a composition, or a key. A raga is a scientific, precise, subtle and aesthetic melodic form with its own peculiar ascending and descending movement consisting of either a full seven note octave, or a series of six or five notes (or a combination of any of these) in a rising or falling structure called the Arohana and Avarohana. It is the subtle difference in the order of notes, an omission of a dissonant note, an emphasis on a particular note, the slide from one note to another, and the use of microtones together with other subtleties, that demarcate one raga from the other."

  7. Vocabulary • Rag= Melody • Tal= Rhythm • Swar= Note • Vibhagh= The measure • Matra= The beat • Lay= Tempo • Avartan= The cycle • Sum= emphasis on 1
