  1. Alap

    About the Bollywood film Aalaap film unreferenced date July 2009 The alap IPA en l p , IPA hns a la p lang is the opening section of a typical Hindustani classical music North Indian classical performance. It is a form of melodic improvisation that introduces and develops a raga . In dhrupad singing the alap is unmetered, improvised within the raga and unaccompanied except for the tanpura Drone music drone , and started at a slow tempo. Instead of wholly free improvisation, many musicians perform alap schematically, for example by way of vistar , where the notes of the raga are introduced one at a time, so that phrases never travel further than one note above or below what has been covered before. In such cases, the first reach into a new octave can be a powerful event. In instrumental music, when a steady pulse is introduced into the alap, it is called jor when the tempo has been greatly increased, or when the rhythmic element overtakes the melodic, it is called jhala dhrupad nomtom . The jor and jhala can be seen as separate sections of the performance, or as parts of the alap in the same way, jhala can be seen as a part of jor. Several musicologists have proposed much more complicated classifications and descriptions of alap. In the same way as traditional four part compositions have a sthai , antara , sanchar and abhog , some treat alap with a four part scheme using the same names. Bengal i researcher Bimalakanto Raychoudhuri in his Bharatiya Sangeetkosh suggests classification both by length aochar being the shortest, followed by bandhan , kayed and vistar and by performance style according to the four ancient vanis or singing styles Gohar , Nauhar , Dagar and Khandar , and proceeds to list thirteen stages Vilambit Madhya Drut Jhala Thok Lari Larguthav Larlapet ... have forwarded other classifications.

    BLP sources date October 2006 Imrat Khan born 17 November 1935 is a leading sitar and surbahar player. He is the younger brother of sitar maestro Vilayat Khan Ustad Vilayat Khan . Training and early career Imrat was born in Calcutta into a family of musicians tracing its pedigree back for several generations, to the court musicians of the Mughal Empire Mughal rulers. His father was Enayat Khan 1895 1938 , recognised as a leading sitar and surbahar player of his time, as had been his grandfather, Imdad Khan 1848 1920 , before him. His father died when Imrat was a child, so he was raised by his mother, Bashiran Begum and her father, singer Bande Hassan Khan. In 1944, the family moved with rising star Vilayat Khan , Imrat s elder brother, to Bombay where both the brothers learned extensively from uncle Wahid Khan , Enayat Khan s brother. Wahid Khan was one of the greatest surbahar players of his generation and a top level sitar player, and taught Imrat on the instruments in the family style, known as the Imdadkhani gharana school , or Etawah Gharana , after a village outside Agra where Imdad Khan lived. In 1952 Vilayat and Imrat moved in together in Calcutta . They performed together for many years. From the 1960s onwards, Imrat has performed and recorded solo, playing both sitar and surbahar.

His full performance practice starts with a surbahar alap in dhrupad ang embellished with more romantic touches , followed by a shorter alap on the sitar leading into gat in traditional Imdadkhani style.
