    INDIAN CARNATIC MUSIC


    PRESENTED BY: GROUP 1
    MAPEH REPORT 8
    Indian music has come a long way since its first records at
    around 200-400 BC. Baratha Muni, a musicologist, wrote
    down a basic music theory of that time called Natya Shastra.
    During this time, India was a prosperous nation and
    welcomed different travelers from around the world. Music
    evolved as cultures are integrated.

    Upon the arrival of the Mughals, several Hindu kings


    escaped to the south. Music was changing because of this
    external influence. In Mughal territories, Persian culture was
    assimilated. In the south, Hindu kings standardized music to
    preserve tradition and keep it from changing too much.
    Territories of the Mughals were called Hindustan and
    territories by Hindu kings were called Carnatic. This is why
    the two branches of Indian music are called Hindustani and
    Carnatic.
    CARNATIC MUSIC
    Pundara Dasa is credited as the founder of Carnatic
    music. He devised teaching methods and composed
    music as well. His most important contribution is the
    codifying of teaching elements of music into graded steps.
    In Thanjavur, Raghunatha Nayak observed that
    identifying ragas was impossible because musicians
    strayed too much from the original material even though
    they are performing well-known ragas. To solve this
    problem, he wrote the Sangita Sudha, a definitive guide
    to Carnatic music. Sangita Sudha was passed on to many,
    creating a Hindu identity in the midst of Mughal
    advances.
    Carnatic music is based primarily on ragas
    (melodic scales) and talas (rhythmic cycles). There
    are seven talas and 72 basic ragas.

    Carnatic music is highly devotional and spiritual.


    Its aim is always to find Brahman or God. In
    Hindu teachings, one of the easiest ways to reach
    God is through music. Even the Hindu Gods each
    have their own musical instrument.
    Musical Analysis
    Swara – The 7 notes of music Sa, Re, Ga, Ma, Pa,
    Dha, and Ni are frequently used to symbolize the
    musical notes, known as Swaras, in traditional
    Indian music.
    Raga – the subset of notes chosen from the 22
    notes, plus all the sliding and microtones
    associated with the seven notes.

    starts .
    Tala – the rhythmic cycle of Carnatic music.
