World Music Day, also known as Fête de la Musique, is an annual celebration of music and the power of music to bring people together. The event takes place on June 21. It was founded by Jack Lang, the French Minister of Culture at that time. Lang wanted to create a day to celebrate all genres of music, from classical to rock to jazz. He also wants to encourage people to make their own music and share their music with others.
The first World Music Day was held in Paris on June 21, 1982. More than 1,000 musicians performed on the streets of Paris and an estimated 2 million people attended the event. The success of the first World Music Day led to the day being celebrated in other cities across France and eventually around the world. It’s a day to enjoy music of all genres. World Music Day is also a day that encourages people to make their own music and express themselves through music.
On the occasion of World Music Day, let’s learn about the history of music in India. India is widely known as a land of rich and diverse culture, and the country’s music is no exception. There are many different genres of Indian classical music, each with its own unique history and traditions.

Classical music Hindustani
Hindustani classical music is one of the two main schools of classical music in India, also known as North Indian classical music and “Shastriya Sangeet”. This music is graded using ragas to help improvise.
Hindustani classical music originated from Carnatic classical music in the 12th century CE. It is played on various instruments like tabla, sitar, sarod and veena.
Dhrupad: This is a slow, meditative form of Hindustani classical music, characterized by the intricate use of vocal ornamentation.
Khayal: Khayal is known as a faster-paced genre of Hindustani classical music, characterized by a simpler use of vocal decoration. Khyāl gayaki is a Khyal style characterized by its use of improvisation and a focus on the emotional content of the music.
Dhamar: Dhamar is a genre of classical Hindustani music that is characterized by the use of a specific tala (rhythm cycle), the dhamar tala. Dhamar tala has 14 beats.
Sikh Music: Sikh music is a diverse and vibrant tradition that has evolved over the centuries. It is a combination of many different musical styles, including classical Hindustani, folk music and Sufi music. It is characterized by the use of melody, rhythm and harmony to express spiritual and religious ideas.
Tarana: Tarana is a type of composition in Hindustani classical music in which certain words (e.g. “odani”, “todani”, “tadeem” and “yalali”) are based on Persian phonemes and Arabic is shown at medium or fast speed.
Sadra: Sadra is a slow-paced, meditative musical genre characterized by the use of simple, soulful melodies. It is often used as a prelude to other genres of classical Hindustani music, such as Dhrupad or Khayal.
Classical Carnatic Music
Carnatic classical music is the other major school of classical music in India. It is also known as South Indian classical music. Classical Carnatic music is characterized by the use of ragas, which are melodic frameworks used for improvisation.
Varnam: A Varnam is a short, structured composition in Carnatic music. It is usually set to a slow tempo and is used to demonstrate a singer’s vocal skills. Varnam is often based on a particular raga and tala.
Kriti: It’s a longer, more complex composition in Carnatic music. It is usually set to medium tempo and is used to explore the nuances of raga. Kritis is usually based on a specific theme or story.
Talam: Thalam is a rhythmic cycle in Carnatic music. It is usually set to a fast tempo and used to accompanies dance performances. Thalams are usually based on a specific tala.
Alapana: It is known as a slow, impromptu piece in Carnatic music. It is used to explore the nuances of raga and to build the mood of the performance. Alapanas often come with a drone instrument, such as a tambura.
Niraval: Niraval is a type of improvisation in Carnatic music. It is a short, repetitive phrase used to explore the nuances of raga. Niravalis is often used in combination with Alapanas.
Svarakalpana: It’s a kind of improvisation in Carnatic music. This is a free form improvisation used to explore the nuances of raga. Svarakalpanas are often used in conjunction with Tanams.
Tanam: Tanam is a type of improvisation in Carnatic music. This is a free-form improvisation used to explore the nuances of raga and build the mood of the performance. Tanam is usually accompanied by a drone instrument, such as a tambura.
In short, World Music Day is an opportunity to celebrate all genres of music. Indian classical music is a rich and varied tradition that has evolved over the centuries. Different genres of Indian classical music offer a wide variety of listening experiences.
