Thumri
The thumrî is a style of Indian Chant pleasant, tender and light, sung mainly by the women, especially the prostitutes formerly.
This style is probably the equivalent of old the rûpaka . Many the modes of thumri are of folk origin and the changes or the mixtures of modes are frequent there: these mixtures are called jhillhâ .
Principal the Râga S basic employees in the thumrî are Khammâja, Kâfî, Pilu, Mand and their derivatives. There exists very little of thumrî in the Râga S more serious and deeper and none in the modes in virile matters such as Darbârî, Mallâr, Hindol, Bhairava, Todî, Shrî, etc
The thumrîs always avoid the second minor one and the minor sixth which are the intervals in pathetic matter.
The poem of the thumrîs is always a poem of love and are sung in a moderate tempo and on a fixed rate of eight or sixteen times.
The technique of the thumrîs research the grace and elegance in the melody form and employs many Glissando like ornament. The feeling of the thumrîs is always intense. They constitute a kind of bond between the erudite Musique and the popular song, simple and emotive.
The dadrâ , the kaharawâ , the rekhatâ and the ghazal are forms of thumrî which use simpler and shorter rhythmic formulas.
