Indian “Classical” Music • Venue is a Concert Hall / Recital (space dedicated to performance of this music) • Formal split between audience and performers • “Ritualized” behaviors (expected of both audiences and performers) • Music treated as “art” experience (no practical use, but for edification, appreciation & enjoyment)
Two Classical Improvisations • YouTube - Ravi Shankar on the Dick Cavett Show (4:46) • YouTube - Ustad Shahid Parvez (6:03)
Roles of the Performers • Veena (south) or Sitar (north) – leader/soloist • Tambura – drone (primary pitches) • Tabla (north) or Mridangam (south) – rhythm and secondary soloist • Other secondary soloists (Sarod, etc.) may be added
Indian Classical Performance • Improvisation (not pre-composed) • Pitch – based on Raga (scales, but more) • Rhythm – based on Tala (meters, but more) • Process of “unfolding” the Raga- movement from low to high- rhythmic movement from slow to fast
Organization of the Improvisation • Alap – opening section, free rhythm (no drums), establishes the Raga • Jor (Jod) – drums enter, regular rhythm (Tala) established • Jahla – fast, virtuosic concluding section • Gat – fixed (pre-composed) tune featured in last section
