Indian film music appreciation - part 2

Explore the role of chords in Indian film music; learn triads, major/minor/suspended chords, diatonic cards, chord progressions, cadences, and how harmony shapes melody.

Explore how form shapes Indian classical music across Carnatic, Hindustani, and film music, comparing technical and melodic structures with western verse-chorus forms and other sectional patterns.

Apply the concepts learned so far through guided listening, as this lecture introduces listening techniques and pacing to absorb and relate to the ideas.

learn to identify ragas in songs using eight level-one ragas, including pentatonic scales, and master major, minor, and pentatonic patterns, rhythm, and style across Indian and Western music.

Identify scales by locating the tonic, then determine the third note to decide major or minor; explore natural and harmonic minor, pentatonic scales, and how ragas fit with western scales.

Identify rhythm patterns in film music by exploring Indian rhythms such as dadra and rupak, and Western four by four, three by four, and six by eight; practice listening to examples and prepare for a quiz.

Identify film music forms by listening for rhythmic patterns, chord progressions, and stylistic cues, with western styles such as shuffle, bossa nova, Bo Diddley, and an Austrian world style.

Explore how a Bobby song in e minor applies harmonic minor, a simple 1-4-5 chord progression, and a clear melody with accompanying chords.

Conclude your journey by listening to songs, relating concepts, and identifying ragas and rhythm patterns, while revisiting the practice in multiple iterations.
