SALIENT FEATURES OF ODISSI MUSIC
Jeeban Prakash Dash
Abstract :
The tradition of Odissi classical music goes back to ancient times. There are some names of the ragas in Odissi music which are original and unique. They are not found in any other treatises of mainstream music systems. Yet they have their own flavor. Odissi music is codified with grammar, which are presented with specified Ragas. It is ornamented with distinctive rendering features unique to Odissi music. It is lyrical in its movement with wave–like ornamentation and full of Rasa. The pace of singing Odissi music is not very fast nor too slow, maintaining a proportional soothing tempo. Odissi music based on its musical texts is inherent to Odisha, historically the great province of Kalinga, is the eastern state of India with its unique, protective geographical localization bordered by dense forest, mighty rivers and rich, extended alluvial coast line that presumably maintained its cultural integrity.
