%0 Journal Article %T GHAR¨¡N¨¡S AS A REFERENCE MODEL FROM TRADITIONAL IN NORTHERN INDIAN MUSIC %A Mevhibe Fidan / Prof. Dr. H. Alper Do£¿an / Maral %J - %D 2019 %X Ghar¨¡n¨¡ is a concept pointing to the main paths and institutions of Indian music traditions bridging generations and identities not only through transferring musical information and tasks, but also the supporting/embracing moral, wisdom and ethics, as well. An untranslatable term, for sure, due to its capacity reflecting much more than an ¨¦cole, plain school of music, but also some kinship, identity, and a chain of cultural, even pseudo-religious, belonging. While ¡°extra-musical¡± idioms such as philosophic, ethic, social, ¡­ qualities do surround, establish and form the music, reflected intensely by the meta-concept Ghar¨¡n¨¡, thus is studied painstakingly and taken as a valuable, reputable institution¡ªa reference, and even a model to be considered¡ªalso by other musical traditions. This short study tries to sum up the main qualities, specifications and characteristics of the given concept while giving first a brief historical and etymological frame, then reflecting the processes of respective change and, consequently question the capacity of serving as a model for other musical cultures %K Ghar¨¡n¨¡ %K Hindistan %K m¨¹zik gelene£¿i %K emprovizasyon %K e£¿itim %K India %K traditional music %K improvisation %K education %U http://dergipark.org.tr/toplumsalbilimler/issue/45438/565218
