Book Description
The book Basics of Hindustani Music is meant for obtaining some essential knowledge of Hindustani music step by step. Hindustani music is one of the most prominent styles of classical music of India. The subject matter of this book is more than a dictionary even though it has many terminologies of music. I have tried to go to the deep meaning of each term following the method of known to unknown.
My approach of writing this book adheres to the mind of an inquisitive learner who wants to know about music and learn the content of music. Some important terms that have been explained are:
Hindustaani music, sangeet, swar, saptak, bandish, gat, shruti, raag, ‘shuddha, vikrit, charhi, utri, komal, tivra swar’, alankaar, paltaa, sattaa, taal, maatraa, bol, tihaai, lai, taali, khaali, sam, pakad, phrase- swar guchcha, aalaap, taan, raag swaroop, swar maalikaa, sthaayi, antaraa, sanchaari, aabhog, vaadi, samvaadi, anuvaadi, vivaadi, grah, amsha, nyaas, ras-bhaav, raag samay, aavirbhaav, tirobhaav, chalan, kan, sparsh swar, gamak, lehak, kaaku, harqat, khatkaa, murki, gitkiri, jhapki, meend, ghasiit, aandolan, kampan, upaj, guru, aachaarya, surilaapan, chhand, prabandh, dhrupad, khyal, thumri, tappa, qawwaali, hori, kajri, chaiti, taraana, ghazal, sugam sangeet, musical instruments, and so on.
