Presentation transcript:

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 5 February 2014 - Day 13 10 February 2104 - Day 14 1 1

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 5 February 2014 - Day 13 10 February 2104 - Day 14 2 2

RHYTHM Based on Rhythmic cycles (similar to Meter…but much MORE) Division of time by regular beats (MATRA) 1st beat of cycle [most important] (SAM) One group of beats [measure] (VIBHAG), [not all cycles of equal weight] Complete cycle (AVARTAN) Each cycle a unique pattern (TAL or TALA)

SOME DIFFERENT TALA Teental = 16 (4 + 4 + 4 + 4) [most common] Keharwa Tal = 8 (4 + 4) Adi Tal = 8 (4+2+2) Adachautal = 14 (2+4+4+4) Dadra tal = 6 (3 + 3) Ektal = 12 (2+2+2+2+2+2) Jhaptal = 10 (2+3+2+3) Sultal = 10 (2+2+2+2+2) Rupak Tal = 7 (3+2+2)

COUNTING TALA Not all Matra (beats) are equal 1st beat of cycle [most important] (SAM) Not all Vibhag (measures) are equal Tali (clap) = strong beginning to Vibhag Khali (wave) = weak beginning to Vibhag Remainder of Matra in Vibhag counted on fingers (begin w/ little finger)
