Indian Classical music and lecture demonstration, Viraj Amar

Viraj Amar demonstrates the tenets of Hindustani classical music with her rendition of the Hindustani khayyalin RaagBhimpalasi. In Hindustani classical music every melody makes use of a Raag which is not only a basic pattern of pitches, it is also the expressive force at the heart of any composition. A Raag expresses feelings and captures moods, and is categorized according to its appropriateness for the time of the day. RaagBhimPalai, for instance, is a late afternoon raag which makes it perfect for thislecture demonstration by Viraj Amar.
