आकार - The Nucleus of Singing
By Hariharan
Ghazal - From Poem to Performance
By Hariharan
This live, interactive masterclass looks into the mind of one of the living legends in Ghazal, Hariharan.
We break down how he got started with this almost devotional journey to musical excellence, and how you can, too.
We explore how Hariharan ji was inspired to compose ghazals, including which verses spoke to him and ignited the spirit that made the legend.
We shall also look into:
1. The Process of Composition
How he chooses the Raga and Taal to compose, and what journey the ghazal takes.
2. Studio Recording
How the Ghazal is ornamented, recorded, along with what instruments playing what required grooves.
3. Performing Ghazals
How Ghazals are performed on stage, how to deliver mukhdas with precise vocal flair, and identify directions for improvisation across a variety of Ghazal formats.
This masterclass will be laden with Hariji's magical voice and his deepest insights in Ghazal composition and singing, detailing your Ghazal journey with beautiful examples.
We can recommend this masterclass to anyone wishing to understand the roots of our music with exceptional clarity, not just the vocalists. And for the vocalists, this is a rare chance you shouldn't pass up.
