Dhrupad |
|
| |
The most
massive but sublime, detailed but simple structured
musical form in Indian classical vocal tradition
is Dhrupad. Normally a song of Dhrupad has
four structured parts – viz Sthayee,
Antara, Sanchari and Abhog. Dhrupad is usually
sung in Chowtal, Sultal or Surphaktan, Jhanptal
or in Teora which are twelve, ten, ten and
seven beat cycles. |

Dhamar |
|
| |
Primarily
Dhamar is a Taal, a rhythm cycle of 14 beats.
However, Dhamar is also a form which is very
similar to Dhrupad singing style sung in Dhamar
Taal. Normally, after Dhrupad singing one
sings a Dhamar. The lyric of a Dhamar describes
the Holi (colour festival of India in Spring)
based on the ecstasy of Lord Krishna and Radhika
and the Gopinis (playmates). |

Dhun |
|
| |
A popular
form of tune loved by maximum number of common
listeners of Indian music is Dhun. Dhun is
derived from Thumri singing. Dhun is dominated
by a Raga but it is free from the strict disciplines
of a Raga. Appearances of other Ragas for
beautifying the presentation is accepted here. |
