Traditionally, various Hindustani (North Indian) ragas have been performed at specific times of day, such as dawn, dusk, midday, and evening. Human physiology also exhibits common circadian patterns, with reduced arousal at night, rising during the morning, culminating in peak arousal, and then declining arousal towards the end of the day. This raises the question of how and whether the musical features of ragas for each time of day are related to these circadian patterns of arousal. We formally examined associations between traditionally designated time-of-day classifications and musical features from 65 Hindustani raga performances. Our results showed that only pitch-related features are predictive of time-of-day classifications. Surprisingly, non-pitch factors known to correlate with arousal, such as tempo, did not covary with raga time-of-day practices. In general, the results are consistent with rules for North Indian raga performances described by Vishnu Narayan Bhatkhande (1860–1936) that emphasize the presence or prevalence of particular tones in the raga. The results point to a combination of enculturated and embodied influences in conveying musical arousal. Specifically, they suggest that while time-of-day-related raga listening practices may have been initially influenced by embodied processes, they have ultimately been reshaped by pitch-related cultural norms.

一天中的时间练习与昼夜生理唤醒相呼应:印度斯坦古典音乐中的一种文化体现

传统上,各种印度斯坦(北印度)拉格会在一天中的特定时间进行,例如黎明、黄昏、中午和晚上。人类生理也表现出常见的昼夜节律模式,夜间觉醒减少,早上上升,达到最高觉醒,然后在一天结束时下降。这就提出了一个问题,即一天中每个时间拉格的音乐特征如何以及是否与这些昼夜节律的唤醒模式相关。我们正式检查了 65 场印度斯坦拉格表演中传统指定的时间分类与音乐特征之间的关联。我们的结果表明,只有与音高相关的特征才能预测时间分类。令人惊讶的是,已知与唤醒相关的非音高因素,例如节奏、与 raga 时间实践没有共变。总的来说,结果与 Vishnu Narayan Bhatkhande(1860-1936)描述的北印度拉格表演规则一致,这些规则强调拉格中特定音调的存在或流行。结果表明,在传达音乐唤醒方面,文化和具体影响的结合。具体而言,他们认为,虽然与时间相关的拉格聆听练习最初可能受到具体过程的影响,但它们最终被与音高相关的文化规范所重塑。结果表明,在传达音乐唤醒方面,文化和具体影响的结合。具体而言,他们认为,虽然与时间相关的拉格聆听练习最初可能受到具体过程的影响,但它们最终被与音高相关的文化规范所重塑。结果表明,在传达音乐唤起的过程中,文化和具体影响的结合。具体而言,他们认为,虽然与时间相关的拉格聆听练习最初可能受到具体过程的影响,但它们最终被与音高相关的文化规范所重塑。
