different forms. It consists of RāgamĀlāpana (rāgam), Tānam and a Pallavi line.

the rāgam and different octaves. This is usually followed by Kalpanaswarams,
sometimes in multiple rāgams (rāgamālika).
Western Music Terms
- Chord
The
simultaneous sounding of three or more notes.
- Chromatic
From the
Greek "chromatikos" (colored). The chromatic scale divides an octave
into twelve semitones (all the white and black notes on the keyboard from
middle c to the c above it, for example), as opposed to the diatonic major and
minor scales. Chromatic chords employ notes foreign to the diatonic scale of the
prevailing key in a musical passage. The history of Western Music through the
early 20th century reveals a progression of increasing chromaticism.
