Graha Bhedam
''Graha Bhedam'' in Carnatic music is the process (or result of the process) of shifting the Tonic note (''śruti'') to another note in the rāgam and arriving at a different rāgam. Its equivalent in Hindustani classical music is called a ''murchhana''. Expressed in Western music theory terms, this is the process of arriving at a different scale by shifting to another mode in the key. ''Graha'' literally means ''position'' and ''Bhedam'' means ''change''. Since the position of the ''śruti'' is changed (pitch of the base note or drone), it is also sometimes called ''Swara Bhedam'' or ''Śruti Bhedam'' though ''Śruti Bhedam'' and ''Graha Bhedam'' have some technical differences. Definition Modal shift of the Tonic note to higher notes of a rāgam, while retaining the note's positions (swara sthānas – sthāna means position/ pitch), results in different rāgams. This is called ''Graha Bhedam''. Practical demo A simple practical demonstration of ''Graha Bhedam'' can be ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Rāga
A ''raga'' or ''raag'' (; also ''raaga'' or ''ragam''; ) is a melodic framework for improvisation in Indian classical music akin to a melodic mode. The ''rāga'' is a unique and central feature of the classical Indian music tradition, and as a result has no direct translation to concepts in classical European music. Each ''rāga'' is an array of melodic structures with musical motifs, considered in the Indian tradition to have the ability to "colour the mind" and affect the emotions of the audience. Each ''rāga'' provides the musician with a musical framework within which to improvise. Improvisation by the musician involves creating sequences of notes allowed by the ''rāga'' in keeping with rules specific to the ''rāga''. ''Rāga''s range from small ''rāga''s like Bahar and Shahana that are not much more than songs to big ''rāga''s like Malkauns, Darbari and Yaman, which have great scope for improvisation and for which performances can last over an hour. ''Rāga''s may ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
