That phrase is a series of tabla bols (pronounced 'bowl') that i'm working on that is a famous composition of Anindo Chatterjee, of the Lucknow gharana, which he taught to us during a workshop after a solo tabla house concert that he gave in the home of my teacher. The composition form is rela (a faster and looser form usually played towards the end of the development of a raga) and the taal is tintal, 16 beats. The taal looks like this: Dha Dhin Dhin Dha Dha Dhin Dhin Dha Dha Tin Tin Ta Ta Dhin Dhin Da The composition would mesh into taal like this (each capital letter represents a stroke): Dha TaKa TinNe NaKa DinNe DinNe TaKa DhinNe (there are three or four possibilities that i'm working on for the khali secition, i'm including one) Na TinNe KaTa DinNe NaKa DhaKa DhinNe KaNe and then, on to variations or back to taal... I've been slaving over this and about 20 variations of this for the last two months, but i'm getting there... Its BEAUTIFUL when you can get it up to tempo, (which i'm just starting to get a taste of)! I guess to paraphrase Kim's recent worldwide discovery, that's one smokin' bol! (or series of bols, more correctly) ; ) cheers, jim. -----Original Message----- From: David Beardsley [mailto:db@biink.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 27, 2002 10:40 AM To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com Subject: Re: OT: miniTablas ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lanpheer, James A" <Lanpheer.James.A@broadband.att.com> > DaTaKaTinNeNaKaDinNeDinNeTaKaTinNe.
