western-classical

Semi-classical music has its roots in Hindustani classical music. Thumri, Dadra, Tappa, Hori, gazal, bhajan, and other types of music fall within this category. Although they are based on Ragas, these types of music do not strictly adhere to the raga’s regulations. Because of its simplicity, it is more accessible and popular than traditional classical music.

In both Indian and Western classical music, vocals are used, but the way they are treated to other instruments differs. Some tanpuras operate as drones, harmoniums that follow the tonality of the voice by giving chords, and so on when voices are employed in Indian classical music.

Staff notation is used to write all Western classical music works, and performers have very little room for improvisation. To transmit the pitches and durations of a piece of music to the performer, composers use Western staff notation. It comprises music from both religious and secular sources.
