You Know My Heart (Kriti-Romantic) Raga-Bilahari Tala-Adi Kriti is a format of musical composition typical to Carnatic music. Kritis form the mental backbone of any typical Carnatic music concert and is the longer format of Carnatic song. 'Kriti' also means Creation. Structure: Conventional Kritis typically contain three parts Pallavi, the equivalent of a refrain in Western music Anupallavi, the second verse, which is sometimes optional Charanam, the final (and longest) verse that wraps up the song The charanam usually borrows patterns from the anupallavi. The charanam's last line usually contains the composer's signature, or mudra, with which the composer leaves their mark. Variations Some Kritis have a verse between the anupallavi and the charanam, called the chittaswara. This verse consists only of notes, and has no words. Some other kritis, are intentionally composed without an annupallavi, where the verse after the pallavi is called the samashti charanam. Still others have some more sahitya at the end of the charanam, set in madhyamakala (few lines within a song that are sung faster than the rest of it) . There are kritis that have no annupallavi but many short charanams. Many composers have composed kritis. The form offers performers the scope for raga alapana, niraval, and swaram. Adi Tala (or Adi Talam) is one of the most popular talas or rhythms used in Carnatic (South Indian Classical) music. In Sanskrit it literally means 'primary rhythm'. It is an 8 beat pattern, where this pattern repeats over and over for the duration of the composition. Akshara - Fundamental units that make up a tala. A tala can be expressed in terms of the number of Aksharas. Normally Adi tala would be considered to have 8 Aksharas. In Carnatic music Svara or Swara is a Sanskrit word that connotes a note in the successive steps of the octave. More comprehensively, it is the ancient Indian concept about the complete dimension of musical pitch.A Swara is the selected pitches from which the musician constructs the scales, melodies, and ragas. The other important and unique feature is the prosody (lyrics) , known as Sahitya.The greatness of Carnatic music is further heightened through masterly compositions by great composers covering a whole range of subjects from philosophy to romance in various languages.
