Workshop: Indische Musik 1. Teil

Freitag, 03.09.2021, um 15 Uhr - 17 Uhr

Workshop on Indian Music

The aim of this 2 day workshop is to acquaint the participants with the Indian ways of improvising and give an aesthetical insight of the mood/emotion attached with the different Ragas (Modes) while using different Rhythmic Patterns practiced in Indian music. 

A Raga is a pattern of notes played with characteristic intervals, rhythms and embellishments used to define a certain framework in the Ascent and descent of the Octave, with special emphasis on certain notes or phrases to define a particular emotion/mood. Many different Ragas can originate from one Scale/Mode. There are more than 500 different Ragas, each having a particular emotion different from the other. Indian rhythmic patterns are complex because of the use of calculations and are used in different Genres of music today. Each beat can be subdivided into many micro beats and used in improvisation of the Ragas. Polyrhythmic plays are much used to make improvisation more interesting and challenging.
