Dhrupad reached the Mughal courts in Rajasthan in the 16th century, where it developed into a classical art form. The name comes from a combination of dhruva, the North star, and pada, word\/poetry and means \u201cthe immovable word.\u201d Dhrupad can be seen as a form of performance art on various levels- meditation, worship, recitation of mantras and as a \u2018yoga of sound\u2019. The \u2018fantasia\u2019, a polyphonic composition for an instrumental or vocal consort, was one of the favorite genres of Elizabethan England. It developed from the art of improvisation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Dhrupad Fantasia gives form to the wondrous fantasy, a visionary idea or illusion by combining ragas based on modal improvisation with the idea of polyphonic instrumental music that both sprang from 16th century court music.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><em>\u201cIn this extraordinary recital, gamba virtuoso Romina Lischka, dhrupad singer Uday Bhawalkar along with the Hathor Consort, bring together two seemingly incompatible musical systems: one Western, baroque, and harmonic; the second Indian, timeless and rhythmic. And it works!&#8230; this recording offers not only repertoire pieces but also moments of newly discovered, vibrant, and rich music.\u201d<\/em> &#8211; Martine D.
