CLASSICAL MUSIC "Evening Ragas" Vocal Recital by Ravi Joshi at The Attic - 3rd November, 2007

• Time : 6.30 pm
  

• Event Info : ‘Evening Ragas’ – a Hindustani classical vocal recital by Ravi Joshi.
• Hindustani classical music not only delineates mood and colour to a raga but also time and season. Raga ‘hindol’ for example is connected with Spring and the ‘malahar’ group with the rainy season. All ragas are assigned also to a time of day divided roughly as follows
• First quarter– 6 to 9 am– bilawal, bhairav, bhairavi
• Second quarter–9 to noon- todi and kafi
• Third quarter– noon to 3 pm – kafi, bhimpalasi, pilu
• Fourth quarter – 3 to 6 pm – poorvi, marwa, todi
• Night ragas – the night is also divided into 4 quarters starting from 6 pm with the more famous ragas, including yaman, bhopali, khamaj, bageshwari, miya malhar, malkauns etc.
• This categorization does not apply to Carnatic music but strangely enough there is a similar categorization in the Daily Circle of Church Services. The Church Canon requires 9 services to be performed during the day. For example Vespers around 6 pm, Nocturnes at night and Matins in the early morning.
• Pandit Bhatkhande expounded the general principle that the ragas that stress the lower tetrachord (pa, dha, ni, sa) are to be performed in the evening and early night and those that stress the upper tetrachord ( sa, re, ga, ma) are performed in the late night and early hours of the morning.
• Ravi Joshi chooses the appropriate raga for this evening. He is an M.Phil and Ph.D in music from Delhi University and has studied under Dr. Rekha Sah, Sri Nalin Dholakia, Sri Mukul Shivputra and Padma Shree Madhup Mudgal. He is currently a lecturer of music at Kumaon University in Almora.
