Ep 5: Concept of 'raag', trend of Hindustani concert (khayal)

[@HarshitDaftary]

Most of people hate watching performers in Doordarshan. Many people are trying to make classical music interesting and you are the best of them. Great ...

[@AnujaK20]

Harshit Daftary That's really a big compliment! Thank you :)

I wish this program could be launched for a wider TV audience as well, and not be limited to KZbin viewers only.

[@deliciousredmango]

The guest lady's voice is awesome

[@simply2878]

Yes

[@Diego_Occhipinti]

I was born in the wrong side of the world. Although I love western classical music I find our temperament ´machine like´sounding when compared to this flexible and organic understanding of scales and natural relation between notes

[@tfae]

Don't paint all of the Western tradition under the same brush! The music of Harry Partch and Ben Johnston approaches intonation in a similar way.

[@Diego_Occhipinti]

@@tfae thank you so much! Of course you are right.

[@ericchin739]

From what I learned, it's basically laziness lol We didn't want to have to remember which keys have the best sounding intervals.... Kinda funny though. Because if we used Just intonation.... music would have such a unique sound in the western world ESPECIALLY for metal lol

[@chairuwu4903]

not really, it's more about making transposed chords have the same sound quality as their untransposed counterparts and making key changes more fluent

[@marcossidoruk8033]

​@@ericchin739 Not at all lol. In just intonation notes that are very far from the fundamental sound awful and it makes modulation and complex tonal polyphony essentially impossible wich is pretty much what makes Western classical music unique and beautiful. Indian classical music is cool, but leave Western classical as it is, this is not a competition of traditions.

[@joses4039]

I love this kind of singing, is mystical,very tipical from India. Greetings from Perú.

[@haeckerm1]

Thank you very much... We have been studying Indian music down here in Texas. You are a great teacher

[@gemmastemley5925]

[@UzairKhan-qd3xu]

welcome !

[@birajdarvinay95]

I can't thank you enough..!!! I had been searching for such lucid explanations of Hindustani Classical music for quite a some time. I often listen to Indian classical/ semi-classical music despite having no clue about what's going on..!! This episode is very helpful. Truly you have opened a treasure for me. Thanks to Shuchita mam for practical illustrations.Thanks to you and wish you all the happiness...!!

[@ZohairRazaa]

It was almost euphoric to hear when the teacher sang bhoop, Wow!

[@johnboswell2211]

Thankyou so much and for madame Athalekar's generous contribution with such a beautiful voice and profound raasa. God bless.

[@nkhazari]

Hi,Anuja, Your way of explatning Indian music is really very very helpful to the beginners of learning Indian music, your vedios are easy to understand. please keep on uploading in all ragas.giving the taal, and few examples in hindi songs including Ghazals , marathi songs Bhavgeet etc, thanks for your vedios.

[@riteshyadavrk]

My Thoughts exactly

[@humanbiot4191]

Not so much for me

[@critiqueoblique5820]

This is fascinating. I come from Scotland where pentatonics are prominent in our folk music & heard a lot of similarity with use of notes in Raag and Scottish folk music - although the interpretations are completely different. Your music focuses a lot more on the spaces around the notes than our music does.

[@Prathamsinghal]

Very very talented ❤️❤️

[@abooswalehmosafeer173]

My God Thanks. I cannot thank you both Enough for this Magnificent teaching.

[@raghvendrakaloo2719]

Some people think that Indian Classical music is boring but your videos are surely helping them to overcome this misunderstanding. Very well done. God bless you

[@shubhamkalamkar5642]

Yeah , I also agree with you

[@brianwolverton9834]

look out for those condenser mics, they're unidirectional so one side works a LOT better than the other! This is the best explanation of raag I've found though and I have watched this many times over. Many blessings, thank you for making this!!!

[@SuperIsolated]

my eyes went close with the alaaps kaaaaaaariyeeeeeeeee bhaaaaaaariyeeee... loving this free eduction

[@kishorkumar736]

Hi Anuja, I don't have words to appreciate your effort, dedication and thought behind your work. I am not a student of music but always felt sorry for the classical music. It never get appreciation or support in normal person and unfortunately musicians never cared, your effort to make listener capable to enjoy and appreciate it is incredible. MANY MANY THANKS FOR MAKING LISTENER CAPABLE TO ENJOY. :)

[@ericchin739]

It's VERY interesting that she refers to it as "rules and regulations" and we say "theory" Very interesting!

[@kamalay.c.9734]

Explanation is simple and good, but it is always good if the listener also knows about 'Raag'. it is then you can understand music along with enjoyment, that leads to creativity.

[@leopardtiger1022]

You have the best channel to explain Indian classical music ...with beautiful demos .

We are fortunate to have you here, you are so fortunate to have a wonderful teacher! gratitude

Great tutorial..the bandish which ma'am sung "KE SAKHI KAISE KARIYE" is bada khyal bandish in Yaman Kalyan in our Gharana... :)

[@Right-is-Right357]

Thank you Anuja! God bless you! I am a 'Kansen' (keen listener) and not 'Tansen' (singer/artist/performer) of Hindustani Classical music. Your video clips are very helpful. This video clip has a lot of information and a bit overwhelming for a novice like me. Several concepts have been packed in 16 minutes! I will see this again and again till it registers in my mind!

[@stuartmaxwell6354]

More fun fare for the common man! This series is wonderfully helpful for a novice who loves this music. Thank you so much again Anuja.

[@MsCasper2013]

Anuja, you've nailed it with your closing comment. I like listening to classical music occasionally but I've no clue what's going on, thanks to this amazingly informative "Classical music for dummies" videos, we can appreciate the performance and the performer even more. PS: In this day & age of "viral videos", your channel is a perfect "antidote".

[@sumitajagtap4557]

Thank you so much Anuja ji for giving us guidance through Guru's like Aathlekar Ma'm..this episode was very informative.😊😊 keep up the good work.

[@kabirprakash]

Thank you Anuja and Smt Shuchita Athalekar ji for this great video .

[@Photogrammetrist1]

Anuja, thanks a lot! I love classical music a lot but I hardly understand a raga or the concept. You have educated me a lot. I enjoy listening to you. And the other thing is, a couple of my friends when heard you, they were just amazed. So, I would request everyone reading this comment that please do forward the videos of Anuja so that some one like me or my friends may enjoy more!

[@Masud8594]

Very nice Anuja jee. You are touching those parts of the classical music which hardly any teacher from a musical gharana would reveal to their students.

[@harishwala9660]

8. Apart from teaching us basics of Indian Classical Music 🏵️, you also taught us how to " Design" interview and guide it in accordance with the " Design". I must say that , " MADAM, You 🏵️ are a Wonderful Creation of the Almighty God." We Admire your Personality which is Pure and Dynamic. Thanks 🌺. Congrats and BEST of LUCK to You 💐.

I am just trying to restart my music life once again. I am really inspired. God bless you ustaad. 😊

With extensive practice with appropriate training and knowledge of swara, everyone has beautiful voice But has different bases.

Thank you for making this series in English. Although I'm a Hindi speaker I was never interested in learning Indian music because the language around it felt inaccessible and therefore irritating. It is so refreshing to be able to relate to the info. Being a more patient adult helps too, haha :)

hi anuja... I am a flute learner... I have no words to thank you regarding the videos you presented... I am slowly learning many things from your videos... I wish I could leave my academic career to learn classical music... I will be highly grateful if you kindly post something on making sargam palta-s based on ragas... another thing you can post is the creation of musical scales and how they are interconnected with each other... let me give one example is that I can sing in B-flat and my table is tuned to E... No thanks again because you have enriched my knowledge... grateful to you...

Hi, This is indeed a great series. It would be nice, if you can do an episode on how one can develop the sense of recognising swaras being sung. Thanks for the good work. Looking forward to more episodes. :)

[@AnujaK20]

Arunkumar M Thanks a lot! Deciphering the notation of a composition is like deciphering the spelling of a word. It requires training of a specific manner. You might try to rote learn the notations of commonly heard phrases. Also beginning by rote learning the notations of a bandish/ song might help. Your mind must be thorough with the distance of swaras with each other. Only then will it be able to recognise the swaras :)

[@pallavipatel630]

Wow. What a treat. Thank you Anuja

Hello Anuja, Many thanks for your efforts in spreading the knowledge of Indian classical, Hindustani Shastriya and Carnatic sangeet! I have watched upto 12 of your episodes and the way the basics were explained by you, your eminent guests was amazing. I am loving the learning. If you get chance, could you explain what are below concepts- What is a pakad of a raaga, with some demonstration; What are "thaats" and their relation to raagas; and demonstrations of some noted raagas with their aaroha, avaroha and how to sing those aaroha avaroha; Also I am trying to learn like How to identify what are the swaras in a given words of a song/vocal composition. That would be amazing. Thanks again.
