Answer 1

Answer:

1) Indian classical music is the classical music of the Indian subcontinent, which encompasses India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Nepal.It is the most popular after Western classical music. It has two major traditions: the North Indian classical music tradition is called Hindustani, while the South Indian and Sri Lankan expression is called Carnatic. These traditions were not distinct until about the 16th century. During the period of Mughal rule of the Indian subcontinent, the traditions separated and evolved into distinct forms. Hindustani music emphasizes improvisation and exploration of all aspects of a raga, while Carnatic performances tend to be short composition-based.However, the two systems continue to have more common features than differences.

2) A thaat is a "Parent scale" in North Indian or Hindustani music. The concept of the thaat is not exactly equivalent to the western musical scale because the primary function of a thaat is not as a tool for music composition, but rather as a basis for classification of ragas.

3) The ten thaats are Bilawal, Kalyan, Khamaj, Bhairav, Poorvi, Marwa, Kafi, Asavari, Bhairavi and Todi; if one were to pick a raga at random, in theory it should be possible to classify it into one of these thaats.

4) The arohana, also called aroh or arohi, is the pattern in which a rag ascends the scale. The avarohana, also called avaroh or avarohi, describes the way that the rag descends the scale. Both the arohana and avarohana may use certain characteristic twists and turns.

5) If between two svaras, there is only one sruti these two notes are said to be vivadi to one another; the vivadi note is like the enemy. Anuvadi: Swaras which are neither vadi, samvadi nor vivadi are called as Anuvadi Svaras. ... Thus 'the sonant on the speaking note is the vadi. The consonant note is the samvadi.
