Origin and development of Dhrupad and Khayal.
Answers
Answer:
Origin and Development of Dhrupad has followed a long course down the roads of history. Dhrupad is a form of North Indian Classical Music which can be traced in almost all the defining eras, and also finds mention in the ancient texts of the legendary writers like Jayadeva or Sarangadeva.
The emergence of khayal can be attributed to the 12th or 13th centuries, during the growth of Islam in India. The newly arrived Muslim rulers were just spell-bound by the diversity of North Indian music and its singers. Dhrupad, during that time, was already an established form of musical genre, to which was added Persian and Arabic tinges. Thus, dhrupad took a backseat, and khayal emerged in all its splendour.
