What Is It

VOCAL MUSIC

India's classical music tradition, includes Carnatic and

Hindustani music which have developed over many centuries.Music
of India also includes several types of folk and popular music. One aspect of vocal
music uses melismatic singing with nasal vocal quality, as compared to the Philippine
music which uses melismatic singing only in chanting epics and the pasyon.
Singing based on a set of pitches was popular even from the Vedic times.
The Samagana style of singing developed into a strong and diverse tradition over
several centuries becoming an established part of contemporary traditions in India.
The hymns in Sama Veda, a sacred text, were sung as Samagana and not chanted.
Sama Veda is the third of the four Vedas of Hinduism but ranks next to Rig Veda
(Rigveda) in terms of its sanctity and liturgical importance.
Rig Veda is also sung in the Samagana traditional singing style. Because of
its liturgical importance, Rigveda is counted as first among the four canonical sacred
texts of Hinduism known as Vedas. Rig Veda is an ancient Indian sacred collection of
Vedic Sanskrit hymns. Some of its verses are still recited as Hindu prayers at
religious functions and other occasions.
Characteristics of Traditional Music from India:
1. Carnatic music
o refers to music from South India
o directed to a Hindu god, which is why it is called “temple music”
o unlike Hindustani music, Carnatic music is unified where schools are
based on the same ragas, same solo instruments (veena, flute, violin)
and the same rhythm instrument (mridangam and ghatam)
o music pieces are mainly set for the voice and with lyrics o
compositions called krti are devotional songs

TALA

Rhythm plays an important role in Indian music. It is fundamental to the

creation of any musical system. Certainly, from a historic stand point, rhythm existed
many centuries ago before the word “rag” was ever used. Given this historical
preeminence, it is not surprising that rhythm occupies an important position in the
Indian system of music.

Tala - literally meaning ‘clap;’ variously transliterated as “tal”, “taal” or “taala”

- is a regular, repeating rhythmic phrase, particularly as rendered on a
percussive instrument with an ebb and flow of various intonations
represented as a ''theka'' - is the common Indian system of rhythm

Theka - a sequence of drum-syllables or ''bol'' - in Indian classical music,

both Hindustani classical music and Carnatic music use complex rules to
create elaborate patterns of rhythm

Tabla - most common instrument for keeping rhythm in Hindustani music

Mridangam - most common instrument for keeping rhythm in Carnatic music

- also transliterated as “mridang”

INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC OF PAKISTAN

Punjabi music strengthens the importance of musical instruments in Pakistan.

Punjab is a region in South Asia which is divided into West Punjab, Pakistan and
East Punjab, India. Bhangra, one of the most recognized forms of Punjab, is based
on the drum rhythm of dhol.

Music of West Asia
3 ISRAEL

What I need to Know

https://www.google.com/search?q=map+of+Israel&sxsrf=

https://www.google.com/search?q=music+and+culture

In general, music of West Asia is modal. Harmony is not emphasized but rather
includes salient features such as melodic complexity and ornamentation, including ¼ tones
and rigorous rhythmic development. West Asian music is commonly used during:
 Communal worship (in Mosque, Synagogue and Church)
  Mystic rituals (Sufis, Hassidic)
 Life passage events (Weddings, Bar Mitzvas, Bat Mitzvas, Anniversaries)
 Entertainment (Belly Dancing, Folk Dancing)

VOCAL MUSIC OF ISRAEL AND ARABIA

A. Israeli Music
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fKf9fXgFlQ&list=PLf-67l2J2EngUcEBA33FmSQexTsGWkiVW
Israeli singers have distinctive vocal style. They sing with guttural and throaty
enunciation.

Two Divisions of Jewish Music

1. Devotional https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lK-aXgSMj90
 almost entirely vocal
 featured during Sabbath and other holy days
 the art of Hazan (leader of prayer in synagogue) has always been evident in the
culture
 shofar is a special call to prayer and repentance; it is sounded on the High
Holidays (the Jewish New Year and Day of Atonement)
2. Secular https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeMhQBdkNQc
 instruments and voice are used
 played during life passage events
 context lies outside the religious domain
 very rhythmic and have popular and romantic texts
B. Arabic Music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJolx_NrDto&list=PLrAbRK1edFcQ0XsMy7BQ_BDqfeTZqPjI_
Arabic Maqam is distinctively unique to Arabian music because of its technique of
improvisation. It is the system of melodic modes used in traditional Arab music.
Arabian rhythmic pattern or cycle is analyzed by means of rhythmic units.
1. Wazn - literally means “measure”  performed on the goblet drum, frame drum
and kettle drum  only used in musical genres with a fixed rhythmic-temporal
organization including recurring measures, motifs and pulse
 29

2. Iqa https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySoEE4FhBOA

 the rhythmic pattern in Arabian music

 reputed to be over 100 iqa, but many of them have fallen out of fashion and are
rarely used in performance
 the greatest varieties of iqa (or iqa’at as pronounced) range from two to 48 beats
 are used in the muwashahat (an Andalusian musical form) where every syllable of
the lyric must fall on a beat.

After knowing about the vocal music of

West Asia, let’s move on to instrumental
music.
Do you have any idea of what instruments
looks like in this part of Asia?
 31

INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC OF ISRAEL

The lute such as the Philippine bandurria and Laud traces its origins from the Middle
Eastern Oud and Indian sitar. Goblet drum, darbuk, the tambourine and other instruments
associated with Middle Eastern music are used as accompaniment. One of the dances
where accompaniment is used is Hora, a dance that often has strong off beats and
asymmetric meters.

SIGNIFICANT INSTRUMENTS OF ISRAEL

1.Jewish Lyre- ancient Hebrew lyre,

the musical instrument of King David.
According to the
Roman Jewish historian Josephus
(1st century ad), it resembled the
Greek kithara (i.e., having broad arms

2. Psalterion Harp - Psaltery,

(from Greek psaltērion:
“harp”), musical instrument
having plucked strings of gut,
horsehair, or metal stretched
across a flat soundboard,
often trapezoidal but also
rectangular, triangular, or
wing-shaped. The strings are
open, none being stopped to
produce different notes.A

OTHER SIGNIFICANT INSTRUMENTS OF ARAB COUNTRIES

called a doumbek, tablah, or
goblet drum) is an hour-glass-

throughout the Middle East.
The drum head or skin is
stretched tight with rope or

OTHER SIGNIFICANT MIDDLE EASTERN INSTRUMENTS

1. Oud (Arabic: ‫ عود‬ʿūd [ʕuːd]) is a

short-neck lute-type, pear-shaped
stringed instrument (a chordophone
in the Hornbostel-Sachs classification
of instruments), usually with 11
strings grouped in 6 courses, but
some models have 5 or 7 courses,
with 10 or 13 strings respectively.

https://www.google.com/search?q=wikipedia+image%2Fmusical+instrument-

2. Darbuka drums appear to be a
more modern variation of
the doumbek. Still goblet-shaped,
a darbuka drum is smaller than
a doumbek (9-16 inches tall) and is
almost always made from metals like
copper or aluminum.
However, darbuka drums have a
drum head that is easier to access
than a doumbek.Dec 31, 2014

Did you notice how rhythm plays an important

role in the music of South, Central and West
Asia? Most of their music, religious or cultural,
is based on rhythm.

It’s time to experience music from India,

Pakistan, Israel and Arabia.

Do you play drums? If not, now’s the time to

learn how. Get hold of that rhythmic sense
