Raga CDs of the Months (03/08): NAVA RASA-S - the moods of Indian Ragas
In Indian performing arts the term "Rasa" occasionally is awarded to an outstanding meaning, in comparison to the Western world very differently. To the dancer, actor, instrumentalist or vocalist is given the task to arise in the audience some determined emotions, the Rasa-s. In the Middle Ages Bharata Muni described in his Natyasastra - a theoretical study for dramaturgy - eight types of emotions, later were completed by the 9th expression Shantham.
Originally written in Sanskrit until today the theory of rasa-s determines the aesthetic self understanding for dance, theatre and music performances.

The nine emotions conveying a special atmosphere are assigned to the Ragas of North Indian Classics (Hindustani) and the Ragams of South Indian music (Carnatic): Viram (heroism), Vishmaya (astonishment), Karuna (mourning), Jugupsa (fear), Shantam (peaceful), Bibhatsam (envy), Hasyam (comic, laughing), Roudra (anger) and Sringaram (love). ----------------------------------- Raga CDs des Monats (03/08): NAVA RASA-S - die Stimmungsbilder der indischen Ragas
Dem Begriff "Rasa" wird in den darstellenden Kuensten Indiens eine herausragende, aber im Vergleich zum Westen verschiedentlich gelagerte Bedeutung zugesprochen. Dem Taenzer, Schauspieler, Instrumentalisten oder Saenger faellt die Aufgabe zu, im Publikum bestimmte Emotionen, die Rasa-s zu erwecken. Sie wurden bereits im Mittelalter von Bharata Muni im Natyasastra beschrieben, eine theoretische Abhandlung ueber die Dramaturgie. Zu den hierin acht (8) beschriebenen emotionalen Grundtypen kam spaeter als 9ter emotionaler Ausdruck Shantham hinzu.
Bis heute bestimmt die urspruenglich in Sanskrit verfasste Theorie der Rasas das aesthetische Selbstverstaendnis aller Tanz-, Theater und Musikdarbietungen.
