MUS 268 - Indian Classical Ensemble

Institution:

Naropa University

Subject:

Description:

An ensemble course offered to instrumentalists and vocalists interested in exposure to music from the Indian classical tradition. The focus is on multi-instrumental works that allow for a broad range of instruments (including singers), accommodating unique timbres and ranges. Students learn the different elements that make up a "raga" performance such as alap, jor, tans and tal while learning compositions and developing improvisational skills. Following Indian classical tradition, the music is transmitted orally from teacher to student. Because of the challenging nature of Indian classical music, students should be fluid on their instrument. Indian instruments are also welcome.
