Hey there.. so nice to see you presenting this information. I wish to add some more information here. Indian music has a hierarchy in itself, 'gaayan, vaadhan, narthan' which is vocal, instrumental, dance respectively. a vocalist is considered have more weightage. Indian compositions is comparable to a flute which mostly produces one note at a time although harmonium is used. Hindustani system is based on Thata system which is more like the modes while Carnatic music ic based on 72 possible scales. Carnatic music considers half tones, whole tones, one and half tones while forming complete scales those with 7 notes but hindustani music considers half and whole tones only. That is to say there are only two Ri's, Ga's, Dha's and Ni's in Hindustani, while there are Three Ri's Ga's Dha's and Ni's in Carnatic. These are more like enharmonic equivalents although not exactly the same as in western. The third Ri in carn is the same note first Ga in Hindustani. This allows a scale like blues to be possible to sing in a Carnatic classical raga while it is not possible in Hindustani. The 72 scales are based on two combinations of 31 scale in each set. one set uses Pure Ma which is the perfect 4th and the second set with Tritone. One rule to remember -if I am correct- is in Carnatic it is not allowed to use the perfect 4th and the Tritone in a single scale. I have quite some information on this to share if someone is interested to know. There's a book "The Theory of Indian Music by Ram Avatar Vir", I think there's no other book that has explained these concepts all in one place.. it's a rare book I recommend it for someone like you if you didn't already know about it.. it's very low price for what it offers.. keep up the great work.. Also the other day I was watching you video on the cyclic and linear rhythm patterns. It was really helpful. However I find it difficult to understand the structure of compositions especially the difference between Hindi pop /movie songs and English album songs. Mainly the repetition of melody part after certain bars. I have had a hard time figuring out the phrases, periods as compared to the Avartan. Also about the meter, tempo, matra and Laya.. You seem to have studied these well as you are familiar with both eastern and western system. Kindly consider making a video on this. Thanks for taking your time to read this..
Hi! Amazing video. Would you consider making a video discussing the relationship between Flamenco and Indian classical music? I am familiar with the history of the Romani people. I would love to hear a musician analyze and describe their similarities and differences. Thank you for your consideration! :) !
I would love to make a video on that! I would have to do more research to make a good one first though. Maybe I'll do some short videos on the topic before I tackle the long one. You can keep find my short videos on instagram, tiktok, and of course youtube shorts :)
शुक्रिया!) उन्होंने इसे बहुत स्पष्ट रूप से समझाया और मुझे आवाज के साथ उदाहरण पसंद आया सवाल यह है: क्या पश्चिमी संगीत की समान रूप से टेम्पर्ड संरचना, और विशेष रूप से गिटार, आपके कान को काटता है? धन्यवाद ?
You're welcome! I'm quite used to the even-tempered tuning of western music, since I grew up with it. It doesn't bother me much, but it doesn't have the same impact as melodies outside of the even-tempered restrictions.
An interesting video would be a piece of music by Bach being played one a cathedral organ compared to a famous Indian composer playing a piece on an Indian instrument.
For all those interested, check out the book "Oriental Jazz Improvisation - Microtonality and Harmony." It explains not only the differences between Indian and Western music (microtonality in cent values and so on) but also between these two as well as Turkish and Arabic music.
Great video thanks for making it! I ended up here randomly, now im off to find classical Indian music so i can hear what it sounds like, sounds intriguing.
I tell yah what, I am curious about music theory from places other than Europe, as I begin to learn music. I have the goal of making my own, without it slotting into popular genres. I would like a broad specteum of knowledge, and as an Anglo Canadian, my upbringing and exposure to music has been very narrow. The adi tala you sang felt more natural to me, like I almost could remember the words, despite having never heard the rhythm before. Thank you for the insights!
This is the first video I've watched in your channel and i subscribed as well, great job ❤ what is the best way to learn carnatic music along with acoustic guitar please guide me
The concept of Harmony is also hidden in Indian classical melodic modes as it shows 1st(dominant)3rd(mediant)and 5th(sub-dominent)These notes shows chord harmony but their progression is different in east & western music.
It's crazy to learn about the difference. Quick questions, how about using counterpoint will that give western music somewhat freedom as demonstrated in Indian classical?
Great to hear that Manav! Hm counterpoint is still very much bound by the rules of harmony in Western music! There are underlying harmonies at any point of the counterpoint melodies, so you are still restricted in that way both melodically and rhythmically. It's not necessarily a bad thing though, because harmonies are gorgeous!
Thank you for being so clear . Great video! One question please. Does Indian classical music change 'scales' or Ragas in one song or does it stay constant. Secondly, can you make a video on the Hindu/Indian scale covering the distinctive features of the scale. Thanks!
Hey Shmuel, for the vast majority of the time, pieces will stay in one raga throughout. There is a specific type of composition called a ragamalika where multiple ragas are performed in one piece, but these compositions are uncommon. Hmm, I'd love to touch on ragas but my training is in carnatic rhythm. It'd take another lifetime for me to study ragas to a level that I feel confident and justified to teach them to you. Then again, I could do an overview video that'll give you a taste of the characteristics of ragas without going in-depth. Perhaps I'll work on that!
👍 explanation! I’m only a novice, but someone talked about this on a RUclips video, so sharing: Even Tamil movie songs employ these changes. For example, songs from an old classic “Apoorva Ragangal”(from Wikipedia): Two songs are ragamalikas, i.e. compositions having different verses set to different ragas.[3][43] "Yezhu Swarangalukkul" is set in Panthuvarali,[44][45] Kambhoji,[46] Sindhu Bhairavi and Ranjani.[47][48] "Athisaya Raagam" begins in Mahati,[49][50] and shifts to Bhairavi with the line "Oru Puram Paarthaal".[51]
But I think most of Classical music especially around the Renaissance and Baroque period not only did they have complex chord progessions but also a lot of freedom in complex melody as well. It is just modern music that the musicians use the simplicity in melody and repetative chord progression and thus restricted the the freedom.
A recently released book discusses this topic. It is "Carnatic and Western music- blending the two systems" by V.S. Narasimhan. Check youtube with the above name for contents and availability.
Please correct it fusion music not only in Hindi industry but Tamil industry as well,, perhaps greater in composition, composers like ilayaraja are Rahman(do explore) ...tq
Essentially its having separate melodic lines singing in different registers. The soprano is the highest, followed by alto, then tenor, and bass is the lowest. Each line harmonises well with the others to produce an aesthetically pleasing effect.
@@neilchanmusic what is it called if one has to search for it on internet?.is it harmony or choir or mixed vocals..or what tutorials? Hope I have made myself clear 😊
@@shailendramassey1386 If you're looking for classical choir styles, you could search 'SATB choir', but if you're aiming for more pop style harmonies, you could search 'tight harmonies'. Hope this helps!
Hey Domenico, I seldom play nylon strong classical guitars, but that'd be interesting to listen to. Unfortunately I don't think I'm the right person to attempt it!
Hey bro. So ragams are basically scales right? So is it possible to use carnatic ragams to make western music? For example, western music has minor, melodic minor, harmonic minor etc. Would it be possible to have a carnatic ragam crossover into a scale in western music? Would it lead to new sounds and unexplored territory?
Definitely you can! But you need to understand both the raga and western harmony. Not all ragas sound good over certain chords. It’s been done before but not a lot. You should check out John McLaughlin’s work.
Haha, thank you for your kind words. Well, sounding good doesn't necessarily mean 'correct' as far as the precise pitch and articulations in carnatic raga go. I studied carnatic vocal for a while, but not nearly long enough to claim that I can sing a raga accurately.
I have learned both Indian and Western music. If you are an aspiring musician or composer, you should first learn Western music. 🙂 If you don't know harmony and counterpoint, you can never compose good music. After learning harmony and counterpoint, you can try to learn Indian or Arabian music. Indian popular music is composed by mixing occidental harmony with oriental melodies. 🙂 You cannot compose Indian songs if you don't know Western harmony and counterpoint. 🙂 You should first learn to read and write music written on the grand staff.
And to prove your point, check out some youtube channels where Indian "teachers" attempt to show befuddled fellow Indians how to play songs like "happy birthday" on their sad little keyboards. No mention of grand-staff, reading music, rhythm notation, or even correct fingering. It's like a walk back into the Dark Ages! You are a rare breath of fresh air.
I think it is a mistake to look at Western 'classical' Music as a cultural product. It is more a technical achievement break through with equal temperament tuning. Equal temperament made complex harmonies possible and key changes within a single work possible. With this system, European classical could borrow ideas from India, Middle East and wherever Europeans go making this system an absorbing platform instead of a cultural product.
Sure, and that's why European classical music is played all over the world (Asia included) while Indian classical music is practically unknown outside of India 🤦
@@shivathealmighty there's a much bigger variety of scales in Indian (and middle eastern) music than in western music, probably because the lack of harmony enables more melodic freedom. Lack of harmony leads to loss of musical knowledge and the upcoming generation will not be able to get most of it. Raaga - melody Taala - rhythm Both you can give in western music also. Musical notes are introduced by western classical music so if you find a variation in raaga, you can write that down. But in Indian music, it is not allowed. It's the discretion of singers to make variations.
Indian Music Culture is way more older and way more detailed than western Music. It dated back to Vedic time. It is mentioned in Sam-Veda. Which is composed around 3000+ year ago. When River Sarswati was drying.
Music Culture could be there but music principles were not established first in Shastriya Sangeet... And our Music is not as detailed because it is an Oral pauranik Guru Shishya parampara... And not generalised... The only book where it's generalised is Sagiruddin Khan's book after he published and pass the knowledge that are intricate for upcoming generation which is not that ancient... I would say Churches played an important role of constant contribution in developing and funding of Western Classical Music and generalised the theories but here we can learn through only Gurus who are known as Legacies of the Pundits and Ustads... Basically it's like a PhD but nothing is noted and these valuable information are hidden or lost
@@lindnerxyz i Think you are talking about Hindustani Islamic version of Indian Music. Ancient Indian music system is Carnatic Music. Which is very complex and deep. I think,you haven't heard any Carnatic Music.
The term microtonal itself comes from a western music perspective, which today uses an equal temperament system ie 12 chromatic notes. Microtonal suggests that notes outside/in-between those 12 notes are used. But if you don't use equal temperament as your baseline reference, then you wouldn't really think of Indian music as microtonal, but just having it's own musical pitch system. And yes, Indian classical music doesn't use the equal temperament system. However much western music has influenced Indian music today and many concepts are borrowed, such as the note naming system.
It depends what you grew up with or what you learned formally. I play Western classical, jazz etc for ambience, but listen to ICM. But it's not always so -- I do sometimes "listen" attentively to Western genres as well.
Thanks!
Hi Hila, that is very kind of you, thank you! I appreciate it a lot.
You have the most wonderful music learning channel on youtube! I'm so glad to have found you!
Great explanation. Also, the Indian Classical Music is micro-tonal and uses natural temperaments.
