Raag (Raga)

A Raag (Raga) is a crafted musical framework from Indian classical music that defines a set of notes, their sequences, and specific emotional qualities. It serves as a foundational structure for improvisation and composition, guiding the performer in creating melodies that evoke particular moods or feelings. Each Raag is associated with a time of day or season, enhancing its emotional impact. Think of it as a musical personality, with unique rules and expressive potential, enabling performers to explore and convey complex emotions through notes, rhythms, and ornamentation within its traditional boundaries.
