Khayal
Khayal is a Persian word which means
imagination. When a singer, following the rules of a raga, presents a beautiful
composition by decorating it with aalap, taan, khatka, murki, alankars etc., it
is called khayal.
In Khayal singing, emphasis is laid on
cleanliness of the notes (Swar) and preparation of the throat. Gamak is not
used in the same way as Dhrupad. Shringaar Rasa predominates in this.
There are two types of thoughts (Khayal) – delayed thoughts and immediate
thoughts.
It is said that it was composed by Sultan
Hussain Sharqi, the king of Jaunpur in the 15th century. It is sung in slow
tempo in rhythms like Ek Taal, Tilwada Taal, Jhap Taal etc. Its nature is
serious. In this, there are less words and after the song there is a permanent
interlude and there is dialogue. Then chants (Taan) are sung in 4 or 8 Gunas.
It is said that Chhote Khayal was
composed by Amir Khusro in the 14th century on the basis of Qawwali. The name
suggests that it is sung in fast or fast tempo in beats like Teen taal, Ek
taal, jhaptaal etc. Its nature is fickle. This poem is very short. In this
there is predominance of makeup and compassion. After singing the alap, the
rhythm (Laya) is increased and taunts (Taan) are sung in Dugun, Chaugun and
Eightgun.
