Listening to South Asia and Middle East Music
Background Information for the Learners (BIL)
The nations of South Asia [and West Asia] have a unique vantage point being surrounded by
cultures which mingle and pass through their countries; these interactions have inspired and
been influenced the societies surrounding them.
India is the largest country in South Asia. Music is fundamental to the lives of people as a
source of spiritual inspiration, cultural expression and entertainment. Carnatic Music, music
from the South, are directed to Hindu god (temple music). Carnatic music is unified, where
schools are based on the same ragas, the same solo instruments, and the same rhythm
instruments. Music pieces are mainly set for the voice and with lyrics. Their devotional songs
are called “krti”. Hindustani Music, music from the north and central regions, goes back to
Vedic period around 1000 BC. Music is enriched by the Persian performance practices of the
Mughal era. Their singing style is “khyal” meaning imagination and uses nasal quality.
Vocal music and hymns uses melismatic with nasal style of singing. Singing based on the set
of pitches in Verdic period. Sama Veda, a sacred text, sung as samagana – philosophy and
science of uniting thoughts, sound, and music. Rig Veda, an ancient Indian sacred collection
Vedic Sanskrit hymns.
There are two divisions of vocal music in Israel: devotional and secular; and those could be
perform and execute in communal worships, life passage events, mystic rituals, and
entertainment.
In devotional music, it is featured during their Sabbath, the way they pray and worship; while,
life passage events songs are performed and executed as their secular music which generally
includes popular and romantic text. When we are talking about life passage events, these are
songs which usually perform in rites: (weddings, bar mitzvas, bat mitzvas, anniversaries).
Jews or Jewish people are an ethno religious group and a nation originating from the Israelites
and Hebrews of historical Israel and Judah. The system of melodic modes used in traditional
Arabic music, is maqam. Qawwali is a style of Muslim devotional music now associated
particularly with Sufis in Pakistan. The tala is a repeating rhythm pattern usually played by the
tabla (small drums). Hora is a traditional Romanian folk dance where the dancers hold each
other's hands and the circle spins, usually counter clockwise, as each participant follows a
sequence of three steps forward and one step back. The most popular instruments are oud a
form of lute or mandolin played principally in Arab countries, goblet drum is a single
head membranophone with a goblet shaped body, psalterion is an ancient stringed instrument
played by plucking the strings with the fingers or a plectrum.

Analysis of South Asia and Middle East Music
South Asia and Middle East composes the Music of India, Pakistan and Israel. Each
country has their own musical characteristics.
India’s melody is called “raga”, the pitch system and also for specific formations of
pitches and tendencies. The raga/raag/ragam is the essential melodic element in Indian
classical music. It is a series of pitches similar to a European idea of a scale. (It is the vocabulary
of notes for a piece of music.) It often has distinctive melodic shapes, a pitch hierarchy and
characteristic ornamentation on specific pitches. Artful bending of pitch around the tones of
the raga is stylistically valued. Ornamentation is essential to the performance of a raga. It has
a specific ascending and descending form. Most Indian art music uses a drone, a constantly
sounding pitch or set of pitches which gives reference point to the ear in hearing the intricacies
of the raga being performed. The drone is usually the interval of a perfect fifth.
Tala/talam is the name of the metrical system and also specific rhythmic meters. A tala
is a cycle of beats (16 counts, 14, 12, etc.) with sub-divisions (ex: 3 + 2 + 3 + 2 = 10 beats).
Each tala has a specific name and distinctive characteristics.
The vocal quality in India usually nasal. Melodic instruments such as the sitar strings
the vibrations of which create a distinctive shimmering texture. Other melodic instruments such
as the sarangi imitate the favored vocal quality.
Indian music is usually performed with small groups of instruments. Because of this, it
often has a chamber music feeling, encouraging more delicate dynamics.
Classical music of Pakistan is based on the traditional music of South Asia which was
patronized by various empires that ruled the region and gave birth to several genres of classic
music including the Klasik and Hindustani classical music. The classical music of Pakistan has
two main principles, ‘sur’ (musical note) and ‘lai’ (rhythm). The systematic organization of
musical notes into a scale is known as a raag. The arrangement of rhythm (lai) in a cycle is
known as taal. Improvisation plays a major role during a performance.
Israel musical elements were borrowed a bit from Arabic music and, to a lesser extent,
traditional Yemenite and eastern Jewish music. The songs were often homophonic, modal, and
limited in range. Some songs have certain identifying musical characteristics: Use of minor
keys. The canonical songs are almost universally in minor. Use of the darbuka,
the tambourine and other instruments associated with Middle Eastern music. "Anu Nihiyeh
HaRishonim". A distinctive vocal style. Israeli singers – especially those of Yemenite origin or
who specialize in more Middle Eastern style songs – tend to sing with a guttural, throaty
enunciation.

WAYS OF PRODUCING SOUNDS ON A VARIETY OF SOURCES
IN SOUTH, CENTRAL, AND WEST ASIA
Background Information for Learners:
Sound is produced by continuous and regular vibrations as opposed to noise. It is the

distinctive quality of the music of a particular composer or performers or of the sound produced
by a particular musical instrument. Sound can be of different types – soft, loud, pleasant,
unpleasant, musical, audible, in audible, etc. An instrument creates sound when part of it
vibrates rapidly. The column of air inside a wind instrument, the string of a string instrument,
or the stretched skin of a drum all vibrate when played. This vibration produces sound waves
in the air, which we hear as musical notes. Instruments in South, Central, and West Asia can
be classified according to its use or function. There are many musical instruments in India.
Some instruments are used primarily in North Indian music (Hindustani Sangeet) while many
other instruments are used in South Indian music (Carnatic Sangeet). Instrumental music is
often similar to vocal music but sometimes they have distinctive instrumental styles.
In India, there are five known traditional systems for classification of instruments.
Ghan – described as a non-membranous percussive instrument but with solid
resonators. It is one of the oldest classes of instrument in India. It may be a melodic instrument
or instrument to keep tal.
Avanaddh – described as a membranous percussive instrument. This class of
instruments typically comprise the drums.
Sushir – known as “blown air”. It is characterized by the use of air to excite the
various resonators.
Tat – referred to as vina during the old civilization. Instruments in this class are
plucked (string instruments).
Vitat – describe as bowed stringed instruments and considered as one of the oldest
classifications of instruments and yet did not occupy a place in classical Indian music until
the last few centuries.
Rhythm plays as important role in Indian music. It is fundamental to the creation of
any musical system. It existed many centuries ago before the word “rag” was ever used.
Rhythm occupies an important position in the Indian system of music. Tala – literally, means
‘clap’; variously translated as “tal”, “taal”, or “taala”. It 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”. It is the common Indian system of rhythm.
The lute of Israel is similar to the Philippine bandurria and the laud, traces its origins
to 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.
In the following activities, you will explore ways of producing sounds on a variety of
sources that would simulate instruments that you have learned.

IMPROVISATION OF SIMPLE ACCOMPANIMENT TO SELECTED
SOUTH ASIA AND MIDDLE EAST MUSIC
Vocal music is considered very important and the most ancient of all its musical traditions in
India. It is also well regarded and well appreciated by its people, especially the Samaveda, the
old musical texts in India which have crude musical notations. The performance of vocal music
is a form of prayer and communication to the Supreme Being. A song is a vehicle or medium
for communication and an interaction process between the worshipper and the deity. Hymn of
Shiva is a beautiful and moving hymn sung by Brahma and various gods to console Shiva in
the eighteenth chapter of Kalipurana. This episode is the account of Shiva’s grief after the
famous clash between Sati and her father Daksha.
Drone, French bourdon, in music, a sustained tone, usually rather low in pitch, providing a
sonorous foundation for a melody or melodies sounding at a higher pitch level. Music which
contains drones and is rhythmically still or very slow, called "drone music", can be found in
many parts of the world, including bagpipe traditions. Repetition of tones, supposed to be in
imitation of bagpipes, is found in a wide variety of genres and musical forms. The tambura or
tanpura is a plucked drone instrument used to accompany instrumental or vocal performances.
The four strings are played open rather than being depressed to alter the note. This example is
considerably smaller than the typical tambura. A very small version is sometimes known as a
tamburi.
Tintal is the most common tala of Hindustani music, and is used for drut (fast-tempo)the
structure of tintal is so symmetrical that it presents a very simple rhythmic structure against
which a performance can be laid. It is played on Tabla as well as on percussion instruments.
Tintal has sixteen (16) beats in four equal divisions. The period between every two beats is
equal. The first beat out of 16 beats is called sam and the 9th beat is called khali . To count the
Tintal, the audience claps on the first beat, claps on the 5th beat, then waves on the 9th beat
and lastly again claps on the 13th beat; these three claps (Hindi tin 'three' + tāl 'clap') give the
rhythm its name. Tintal can be used for both accompaniment and solo.
In the following activities, you will play drone as you accompany the song Hymn to Shiva and
play the rhythm of Tintal as you will be watching an ensemble.

Music Performances of South Asia and Middle East
Music has always been viewed as a universal language. In the vast region of Asia,
religious music has been a common ground in uniting people with different languages, cultures
and norms. South Asian countries include Afghanistan, Bhutan, Bangladesh, India, Maldives,
Nepal , and Sri Lanka.
India is the largest country in South Asia. Its music is as vast as its geographic location
and as large as its demographic population. The music of India reflects different aspects of
Asian culture through its timbre, rhythm, melody, texture, form and style. In general, Indian
music remains fundamental to the lives of the people of India as sources of spiritual inspiration,
cultural expression and entertainment.
There are many musical instruments in India. Some instruments are used primarily in
North Indian music (Hindustani Sangeet) while many other instruments are used in South
Indian music (Carnatic Sangeet). Instrumental music is often similar to vocal music but
sometimes they have distinctive instrumental styles. There are five known traditional system
for classification of instruments.
Classification of Musical Instruments from India:
1. Ghan – described as a non-membranous percussive instrument but with solid resonators. It

is one of the oldest class of instrument in India. It may also be a melodic instrument or
instruments to keep tala.
2. Avanaddh - described as a membranous percussive instrument. This class of instruments

typically comprise the drums.

3. Sushir – also known as blown air. It is characterized by the use of air to excite the various
resonators.
4. Tat – referred to as vina during the old civilization. This class of instruments are plucked
(stringed instruments).
5. Vitat – described as bowed stringed instruments. One of the oldest classifications of

instruments and yet did not occupy a place in classical Indian music until the last few
centuries.
The following activities will help you imitate the music performances of India using your own
improvised instruments like manjira(small cymbals), dhol(drum)and bansuri (flute).

EVALUATING MUSIC AND MUSICAL PERFORMANCES

(South, Central and West Asian Music)
Background Information for Learners
The music of the South, Central and West Asia reflects the different Asian cultures
through its rhythm, timbre, expression and style.
In general, religion greatly affects the music of South Asia. It is impossible to separate
music from religion, for religious meanings is always present at any level in South Asian music.
Some of the notable characteristics of South Asian music are as follows: (1) The use of highly
melismatic singing with varied vocal timbres in their vocal music. (2) The use of intricate
metric system called tala, the common system of rhythm. (3) The use of suites and highly
ornamented improvisatory musical forms. (4) The use of rhythmic modes (short intricate scale)
and music is mostly in heterophonic in texture.
In addition, the Music of Pakistan which represents the Central Asian music
includes various musical elements of South Asia as well as Central Asian, Middle Eastern, and
Western music. With those more than one influences, a distinct Pakistani sound has emerged.
Therefore, the distinctive Pakistani sound was formed with multiple influences that makes
Pakistan known for its unique vocals.
Moreover, West Asian region is a wide and diverse area, but the musical traditions of
this region share some very important characteristics. One of the most important characteristics
that gives West Asian music its distinct sound is the use of quarter tones, small intervals
between notes. That means that while European music has 12 different tones, West Asian music
has 24. That's why this music sounds so different to people from outside of West Asia. Another
distinguishing characteristic of West Asian music is something called the drone, a continual
note or chord that underlies the entire piece. The drone sets a constant feeling for the piece that
provides structure and balance, but also helps to push the melody forward and maintains a sense
of dramatic tension. Harmonies are NOT a major focus of West Asian music. The only real
harmony is the drone, the emphasis is on the melody which is intricate, complex and ornate.
Now that you have already to understand the different characteristics of music in each
region, you are now ready enough to evaluate some musical performances. In this, you will
apply your gained knowledge from the previous topics discussed. This gauges how well you
know about the musical elements and style.
