Overview

Bada Khayal in Bhairav is revisited. Three Chhota Khayal compositions in Bhairav are in Teentaal, Ektaal and Jhaptaal. These compositions are sung with improvised Aalap and Taan. Raga Shankara comes in with its cascading Swara movements. The Chhota Khayal is learnt with improvisation. The Bandish itself incorporates the Raga characteristics. So singing the Bandish to perfection plays a big role. Kalavati is a Raga which has been used in popular Bhajans and film songs. This Raga is introduced with a Bandish. Student composition involves traversing different Ragas by composing a medley of Ragas or a Ragamaala.
