About: Thaat

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

A Thaat (IAST: thāṭ) is a "Parent scale" in North Indian or Hindustani music. It is the Hindustani equivalent of the term Melakartha raga of Carnatic Music The concept of the thaat is not exactly equivalent to the western musical scale because the primary function of a thaat is not as a tool for music composition, but rather as a basis for classification of ragas. There is not necessarily strict compliance between a raga and its parent thaat; a raga said to 'belong' to a certain thaat need not allow all the notes of the thaat, and might allow other notes. Thaats are generally accepted to be heptatonic by definition.

  • A Thaat (IAST: thāṭ) is a "Parent scale" in North Indian or Hindustani music. It is the Hindustani equivalent of the term Melakartha raga of Carnatic Music The concept of the thaat is not exactly equivalent to the western musical scale because the primary function of a thaat is not as a tool for music composition, but rather as a basis for classification of ragas. There is not necessarily strict compliance between a raga and its parent thaat; a raga said to 'belong' to a certain thaat need not allow all the notes of the thaat, and might allow other notes. Thaats are generally accepted to be heptatonic by definition. The term thaat is also used to refer to the frets of stringed instruments like the sitar and the veena. It is also used to denote the posture adopted by a Kathak dancer at the beginning of their performance. (en)
  • Een that of thaat (in het Indiaas ঠাট) is een modaal toonsysteem dat in Hindoestaanse muziek voorkomt. Een that heeft telkens 7 tonen, en vormt de basis waarop de vele raga's in de Noord-Indiase klassieke muziek worden ingedeeld. (nl)
  • Таат — аналог гаммы или, скорее, лада в индийской классической музыке традиции Хиндустани. Состоит из семи сур саргама, образуя базовый лад для построения раги. Всего из саргама возможно построить 32 таата, но лишь 20 из них реально используются, а 10-13 (в разных традициях) имеют названия. (ru)
