What is Hindustani Vocal Music, and how does it differ from other forms of music?

 

 

Hindustani music is a tradition that dates back to the 12th century in North India and has been evolving ever since. Hindustani classical music began to split from Carnatic classical music around this time. A raga or melodic mode, sung to a rhythmic cycle, or tala, is the core concept of each system.

 

Vishnu Narayan Bhatkande organized Hindustani classical music's ragas (musical frameworks) into many that were around 1900. The 12-note scale in Indian classical music comprises seven basic notes and five half-tones. The performance is performed to a raga, a musical pattern defined in part by distinct ascent (Aroha) and fall (avaroha) sequences that may or may not be identical.

 

The usage of ragas (melodic frameworks for improvisation and composition) is shared by northern and southern India, as are the rhythmic principles of tala (cyclic metric patterns of varying complexity) and the practice of nonmetric, rhythmically "free" improvisation. On the other hand, instrumental music is more prominent in Hindustani music than in Karnataka; there are certain entirely instrumental genres, such as the theme with variations known as gat.

 

A typical Hindustani performance begins with a long, nonmetric improvisation (alapa, or alap) by the vocalist or melodic soloist, followed by jor, or improvisation without rhythmic cycle but with a palpable pulse, and finally by the comparable but faster jhala.  The prepared piece is then performed with improvised modifications, most commonly khayal (a poetic form) in vocal music and gat (a brief, rhythmically unique theme) in instrumental music. A tabla player accompanies the soloist, and the improvisations frequently feature spectacular rhythmic competition and collaboration.

Dhrupad and Khayal are the two types of Hindustani vocal music. Dhrupad is the more primeval form, with very rigid presentation rules. In contrast, Khayal, which arose later, allows for more flexibility in presentation.
 

Dhrupad
 

Dhruva-pada, which means "refrain," is the earliest surviving melodic genre in Hindustani music. A gloomy and regulated sequence of repeating syllables known as an alap is used to open this classical art form. The soprano extols the punty and clarity of each classical note. Dhrupad is monophonic and modal, with a single melodic line and no harmonic components. It is played in unison by a solitary vocalist or a small group of singers to the rhythm of a barrel drum, the mridangam or pakhawaj, and a sitar can accompany it. The songs are very religious and are utilized as a meditation aid to achieve self-realization.
 

Khayal
 

Khayal is a Hindustani musical form that captures the spirit of romantic poetry by allowing the performer to express his creative brilliance via artistic expression. Its origins can be drawn to the Persian/Arabic term "imagination." The singer can express himself eloquently through ornately decorated ragas, necessitating greater technical skill and cerebral talent.
