Our focus in this unit has been a recording of Raga Megh by Shivkumar Sharma on the
santoor. In this essay, you will
define the concept of raga, using this recording as a
point of focus.
ESSAY COMPONENTS:
This essay should have three major components that address the three critical readings
from Unit II.
1.
Following Nettl’s description of studying ‘music in culture’, disc
uss the ways in
which the raga concept relates to other aspects of Indian culture, social
structure, and/or philosophy.
2.
Following Clayton’s consideration of musical meaning, discuss what Raga Megh
‘means’ and how meaning is communicated in performance.
3.
Fol
lowing Alterhaug’s analysis of improvisation, describe the formal structures
present in Shivkumar Sharma’s performance of Raga Megh that facilitate
improvisation.
RESEARCH METHODS:
Preparation for this essay requires you to engage with three types of sour
ces:
1.
The recording itself. You should listen carefully, following the guide to the
recording posted on blackboard. You should also take notes as you listen,
highlighting noteworthy moments. In your essay, you can refer to specific
sections of the performan
ce by using minute/second marks, i.e. ‘At 1:04,
Sharma begins to intensify the introduction.’
2.
The three critical readings that we have completed in this unit: Nettl, Clayton, and
Alterhaug. Your primary responsibility in this essay is to try to relate the
recording in question to some of the larger questions posed by these readings.
3.
Basic information provided regarding Indian musical terms and practices. The
George Ruckert text,
Music in North India
, is a good source for this
background material (particular
ly chapters 4, 5, and 6). Lecture notes will also
function in this way.
