If you are a natural person, you will brag about all kinds of differences, but you will make yourself salty. If you are angry, who will shout! Listening to Nikhil Banerjee's live performance is a meditation and harmony between man and nature. I want to tell you that feeling, but I don't know how to describe it, or I can only say it with my heart, but I can't dictate it. If you want to know about Indian music, let's take a look at its development history and its connection with Indian history. Indian music is an ancient system, and it is said that its origin can be traced back to the Vedas. Many folklores are accompanied by the development of Indian classical music. These legends laid the theoretical foundation of Indian classical music aesthetics and acoustics. A long time ago, because of the changes of two eras, people became anxious and uneducated. They are controlled by lust, greed, demons, hags and all evil spirits. These evil spirits float on the earth in droves. Indra (the Hindu god) begged Brahma to give mankind the same invisible toy. For people to relax. The legendary holy land is Dhaka, the capital of Afghanistan today. Sangeet is a toy given by God and an art in the sky. People must choose competent representatives to accept this gift. Sangeet has always belonged to a demigod and demigod field, because it needs superhuman spirit to accept and comprehend. Before Narada appeared, he was the first human recipient.
Sangeet is synonymous with music, that is, Indian classical music, including vocal music, instrumental music and dance. Indian classical music is sacred and a kind of spiritual salvation. It requires learners to forget its shape and accept it with heart. Learning Indian music is like practicing. It takes year after year, because Indian music is very complicated. After years of practice, it can be controlled freely, and then it can be improved in another way. As a demigod, Sangeet has a complex system, precisely a highly perfect rhythm and melody system. Rag is a melody system and tal is a rhythm system. Indian music performance is generally improvisation, and the decorative sound is the foundation. It is a subtle movement from one sound to another, and it is tortuous. It provides a space for musicians to imagine and express freely.
It is important that Indian music has its own notation. In the western music movement at the beginning of the century, many musicians went to India to collect folk songs and introduced the scales, rhythms and modes of Indian music to the west. The ancient notation is translated and easy to learn.
Rag comes from the Sanskrit word "raga", which means enthusiasm. Rag is sangeet's main performance.
There are nine basic emotions recorded in Indian ancient books, and other emotions can be mixed by them, just as all colors can be mixed by three primary colors. These nine emotions are shringar- love /hasya- comics /Karuna- sadness /Raudra- rage /Veera- hero /Bhayanak- horror /vib hats- nausea.
Indian classical music is based on melodious acoustic medium rag, which is different from any concept in western music theory and has four basic characteristics: SWAR, mode structure, JATI, Arohana and Avarohana.
Swar is the seven sounds of Indian music: sa, re, ga, mapa, dha and ni, and the basic sounds form intervals. There is a special connection between the seven notes. For example, from ni to sa, the next note can start not from sa, but from re, ga, ma, etc. This is a leap. This is the basic decorative sound of Indian music, and it is a delicate and elegant spiral detail.
Mode structure, similar to the mode of western music theory. The special movement of swar has resulted in the complexity of the model, with a total of 32 kinds, among which 10 is commonly used and widely known, namely: Bilawal, Khammaj, Kafi, Asawari, Bhairavi, Bhairav, Kalyan, Marwa, Purvi and Todi.
Jati is a note used in rags, and ordinary rags don't run out of seven notes. Five-note ragtime and six-note ragtime. The former is called Odhaf Jati, and the latter is called Shadaf Jati. All seven-note rags are Odhaff-Sampner. Arohana and Avarohana describe whether rag uses an ascending structure or a descending structure.
Rhythm system appeared earlier than Lager, so Tal's position in Indian classical music is beyond doubt. Tal's rhythmic instruments mainly include tabula, pottery jar and Pakwaji double-sided drum. With the development of the times, the latter two are rarely used now. Today Tal's main musical instrument is Tabula. Tabula consists of nine basic concepts, namely Tali, Tali, Vibaha, Matra, BOL and Ka.
Tali has no clear concept, which literally means clap your hands. Its practical application lies in that when performing live, musicians clap their hands to specify which bar needs to be emphasized, and the characteristics of rag can be described by a certain clapping frequency pattern. In addition, it is also convenient for other players, singers and tabula drummers to communicate. Tali is very important for the conceptualization of Indian music rhythm system.
Tali is a relative concept of Tali. Verbalization means waving. When playing, the first beat or the first bar that needs to be emphasized is usually designated by waving. Its main application is to specify the first beat (sam) of each Sam. Dyntar by Tali is very important for the symmetrical rhythm of 16 beats, and the Dadra in 6 beats is very important. For example, the tower accurately located the symmetrical Dyntar. Without the Tower, Tintar would be a four-beat unfocused bar, because it is difficult to find the first remake. Tali is often used in northern Indian classical music.
Vibhag is similar to the bar in western theory (note that it is only similar here, and the concept of cycle is more important than the bar in Indian music). There is a certain beat between two bars, and a bar can usually consist of two beats, three beats, four beats and five beats. Traditionally, Tintal is four bars and four beats, and Ektal is three bars and two beats (excluding paragraph lines). In addition, wave to set the beat that is emphasized first, and mark it with 0.
Matra is similar to a beat. Sam is the first and most important beat at the beginning of a circular festival (avartan). Indian music does not follow the metronome time. The beat value can be expanded or compressed freely. Very free!
Bol is to beat the drum surface to make different pitches. This is extremely important for conversation. With the different pitch, TAL is redefined, which is not a simple rhythm system. This is also a little difference between northern Indian classical music and southern Indian classical music. In the music of North India, bal is an improvisational and freely expressed language, while in the music of South India, bol only exists as a formulaic language. Zakir Hussain is the king of drums, because.
XDha Dhin Dhin Dha | 2 Dha Dhin Dhin Dha | 0 Dha Tin Tin Na | 3 Na Dhin Dhin Dha
Ka is a definite pattern of organizing bol and Vibhag, similar to rhythm. Tintal is a basic type, using basic bol such as DHA, Dhin, Ta, Na, Tin, etc., such as "XDHA DHIN DHA | 2D HA DHIN DHA | 0DHA TINNA | 3NAD DHIN DHA", which is basically composed of pakhawaj (Pakwaji double-sided).
Chautal is another rhythm type, using bol such as Asdha Dha Dinta, Orte Te Ka Ta Ga Di Gena, etc. These bol are also issued by pakhawaj. For example, "xdha dhadinta | 2kita dhadinta | 3tetekata | 4g adigena". Through observation, it is found that ka is based on some symmetrical structure. For example, "jhattal: xdhinna | 2dhindina |. Rhythm patterns such as "XDha Dhin Na | 0Dha Tin Na" are also asymmetrical. Rupak's rhythm type is "0 tin tin na |1d hinna | 2d hinna". From the above description, we can see that the organizational form of Theka is not fixed, and it changes a lot. Whether it is a circular segment, a strip segment or a bol segment, it tests the player's skills. This is also a unique label of classical music in North India, and it is not played for performance.
Laya is similar to beat, and the unit is beat/minute. The basic types are: ATI-ATI-Drut640/ATI-Drut320/Drut160/Madhya80/Vilambit 40/ATI-Vilambit 20/ATI-Vilambit10, an interesting application. laya means that tal has a higher rhythm than singers. In addition, the beat in the performance is not fixed, but constantly changing, depending on the mood.
Sam, as mentioned above, this is the first beat and the second beat of a cycle festival. Mark Sam with an X.
Avatan is a basic periodic festival, which consists of certain beats, including 16, 14, 12, 10, 8, 7, 6. These are basically used in Indian music nowadays.
