The first of these is with regard to the concept of sruti in NICM. The tone semitone system of western music is clearly at odds with the 22 sruti system since some semitones are composed of one sruti while others of two or more. However, the sruti system still cannot account for the minute deviations from the norm, many of which are unconsciously presented by the artist. Thus for the purposes of this study, we were obliged to use the twelve semitone system, while making allowances for minor variations which is a limitation of this study.
Secondly, to arrive at an emotion label for a raga , we should ideally have multiple excerpts of the same raga , played on different instruments by different performers in alaap or gat and then rated by listeners.
When responses across different performers and different intruments all emerge with the same label, we would then have truly assigned an emotion label to a raga. Hopefully, further studies conducted on a large scale can address this question. Finally, we used self-reports to assess participants emotional responses.
It can therefore not be ruled out that at least some of the participants rated expressed emotion instead of experienced emotion. Nevertheless, our study provides new evidence that ragas evoke distinct emotional responses across distinct presentation modes alaap and gat. This opens up the possibility of using different ragas as robust mood-inducing stimuli, which is relevant for studies on emotion. We also found that rhythmic regularity and tempo influence emotion experienced.
This is distinct from past work in Western classical music that has shown an association for the minor third with sadness in Western music Curtis and Bharucha, Future work will attempt to extend these findings to larger population in order to delineate influences of culture, familiarity and musical training on emotion experienced. The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest.
We thank Pt. Mukesh Sharma for playing the ragas for the study. We thank Mahesh Prasad, Chaitra Rao, and Arkoprovo Paul for helpful discussions and assistance in experimental design. We also acknowledge the volunteers for their participation in the survey. Finally, we acknowledge three anonymous reviewers for their insightful critiques of the manuscript.

Abstract In Indian classical music, ragas constitute specific combinations of tonic intervals potentially capable of evoking distinct emotions.
Keywords: music, emotion, ragas , rhythmic regularity, tempo, tonality. Introduction While music has long been associated with emotions Miller and Williams, ; Patel, , it has also been a subject of interesting debate among philosophers. Table 1 Music intervals in Hindustani classical music.
Open in a separate window. Each interval is a tone defined by the ratio of its fundamental frequency to the tonic Sa. Interval names, abbreviations used, frequency ratios and sizes in cents in Just intonation and TET tunings are given in table.
The corresponding interval name in the Western chromatic scale is also given. In the notation used the seven Shuddha swaras are denoted by capital letters Sa, Re, Ga, Ma, Pa, Dha, Ni , four komal swaras, and one tivra swara are denoted by small letters re, ga, ma, dha, ni. Materials and Methods Three minute instrumental renditions of 12 ragas were played by a professional musician on sarod a stringed instrument and digitally recorded in both alaap and gat.
Table 2 The table lists the ragas used in the study and the scale used by the artist to play the raga. Participant Details Participants were recruited through word of mouth and social media platforms. Data Analysis Analysis was conducted at three levels 1 behavioral analysis of emotional response, 2 extraction of musical features of ragas and 3 correlation and regression analysis to investigate the relationship between musical features and emotional response. Behavioral Analysis Median ratings for each emotion were computed to assign an emotion label to a raga.
Assessment of Musical Structure Tempo, Rhythmic Regularity and Tonality As per the objectives of this study, the effect of three musical structures namely tempo, rhythm and tonality on emotional response were assessed.
Relationship Between Musical Structure and Emotional Response To assess whether there were statistically significant differences in rhythmic regularity pulse clarity and tempo note density among the ragas with different experienced emotions one-way ANOVAs were conducted.
Results Behavior In order to assign an emotion label to a raga median ratings for each emotion were computed. Relationship Between Musical Structure and Emotional Response Effect of Rhythmic Regularity and Tempo The next analysis focused on investigating the relationship between emotional response and musical structure.
Table 3 Results of One way Analysis of Variance ANOVA conducted separately to investigate whether ragas with different experienced emotions differ in rhythmic regularity pulse clarity and tempo note density are listed below. The average values of note density and pulse clarity SD in brackets for the ragas with calm, happy, sad and tensed experienced emotions are listed in the table.
Effect of Tonality To study the effect of tonality on emotional response, correlation and stepwise linear regression analysis was conducted. Table 4 The table lists the correlation coefficients of correlations between the average emotion ratings and mean frequency of occurrence of each tonic interval across the 12 ragas.
Table 5 Results of Stepwise multiple linear regressions performed in order to determine the variance of the emotional responses explained by the tonic intervals in gat of ragas. Discussion and Conclusion This study reports for the first time emotional responses of North Indian Classical ragas when rendered in two distinct presentation modes, namely, alaap and gat.
Ragas and Emotional Response The key finding of our study was the experimental verification of the hypothesis that distinct emotional responses would be associated with alaap and gat of a raga.
