Verse:Irta/Carnatic music: Difference between revisions

Line 4:

*Unlike in our timeline, the esraj (held vertically) is used instead of the violin. It is borrowed from North Indian music.

*There are some ragas not found in our timeline's Carnatic music like ''Sabhā'' (an adaptation of maqam Saba) and ''Desikasrī'' (adapted from the Hindustani raga Shree).

*Certain ragas like ''Kharaharapriyā'' are not as common as in our timeline but others like ''Dēvāmṛtavarṣiṇi'' are more common

*Certain ragas like ''Kharaharapriyā'' are not as common as in our timeline but others like ''Ghaṇṭa'', ''Kalgaḍa'' and ''Dēvāmṛtavarṣiṇi'' are more common

*Some ragas go by different names from our timeline, like ''Desikabhairavi'' instead of ''Sindhubhairavi''.

*The melakarta system is controversial, unlike in our timeline -- some theorists including ___ Sastri of ___ believe that ragas shouldn't really be analyzed in terms of a fixed scalar framework

*Purely instrumental music is much more common and there is a separate genre of instrumental music which is roughly like Bharatanatyam dance music in our timeline -- this includes wordless ''varnam''s and ''tillana''s. Some of the simpler ones (which do not involve chords and have a small range) are even taught as "vocalise" pieces. Instrumental music is generally technically much more complex and sometimes, pieces are written for very specific instruments (e.g. veena music would be written differently from esraj music). Unlike in our timeline, instrumental concerts do not consist solely of transcriptions of vocal music

==Raga differences==

*''Madhyamāvati'' uses the natural 7th instead of the flat 7th
