hello..

i was having a question from long long time..

chalo aaj muharat aaya..

How is the song wrtten on paper.. i mean format... or it is simply written like

Zindagi me kabhi koi ayeeee na rabbaa.. etc

my actualy question is how come will the singer know where to stretch, where to pause for a second.. will the listen to the music and get an idea where to prolong the word after discussing with MD etc..or on the paper there are few symbol indicating to stretch upto what lenght..

Thank you

I guess every singer has their own styles of making notes and they also rehearse before singing don't they?

hi ahmed. for any song the basic important thing is shruti(sur) and laya(tempo/speed). when we learn a song, we first need to check whether we give importance to these two. then comes bhavam(expression) of the song. to know abt expression, we dont really need to know music. for example if we take the song "jaadu hai nasha hai", shreya sang this line in different ways. she 1st sang it in a pleasing way, then a lil more romantic expression added, then a kind of nashili expression. the same line if we sing it normally, we cant feel what the lyrics say. singers are the people who give life to any song. in the line "jaadu hai nasha hai", if we extend the word "nasha" and also sing it in tempo, then it gives a beautiful feel to the word. and the MD also explains the scene which is to b picturised on the song. after knowing it, the singers will present it the way they feel it. and thats how they cutshort some words or prolong some words. in a way what lathadi said is also right. every singer has their own style of giving expression

and about the musical indications, these symbols are usually used by the orchestra(piano, guitar, etc..) people.

i hope i was clear in explaining you abt it. if i made any mistake guys please correct me. and i hope u r fine with my answer ahmed

thanks lata di...

saranya ji....its cleared phir bhi confirming it ..just give me info ke when a singer goes to Studio to sing a song. they will give u a paper on which song is written.. so want to ask how it is written.. i know it is written with pen .. lekin where to tell tanhaiiiiiiiiiiiiiii for long and where shot.. is depends upon the music and singer too add some inputs..rt??

iska matlab dono kaam mujhe karna padega

that wont be written on the paper ahmedji. its the music director who tells the singer where to prolong it and where to cut it short

haan woh aap hi ka kaam hai....

acha got the idea saranya ji...

Thankuu

you are welcome ahmedji

Thanks a ton latadi for the detailed explanation. I can see we all are going to get really benefitted with your presence here. Let me take advantage of this then.


But tell me, if this is followed then isn't there a chance that the poetry gets lost when it is put to tune by the MD. Also say as you pointed out that Jaadu Hai Nasha Hai part. Who knows it could be that the poet wanted seduction at one place in his lyrics and the MD while composing asks the singer to put some other emotion.
