Rag Desh

What is the structure in the Live Version of the Rag Desh? (version 1)

All three versions of the rag desh feature a [blank_start]tala[blank_end], or a rhythmic pattern. The first note of the tala is called a [blank_start]sam[blank_end], and this tala is typically played on the [blank_start]tabla[blank_end]. Sometimes, however, complex rhythms are independent of the beat, and these are called [blank_start]Bols[blank_end]. Version 1 of the Rag Desh uses the [blank_start]Jhaptal[blank_end] (10) and the Tintal ([blank_start]16[blank_end]), version 2 uses the [blank_start]Keherwa[blank_end] (8), and version 3 uses the [blank_start]Rupak[blank_end] (7) and Ektal ([blank_start]12[blank_end]).

What can be said about the alap?

Every [blank_start]rag[blank_end] has a specific purpose, being played during some time of the day or during some [blank_start]season[blank_end]. The rag desh is typically played during the [blank_start]night[blank_end] and during [blank_start]monsoon[blank_end] season. The affection of rag desh is that of [blank_start]devotion[blank_end] and romance.

[blank_start]Meend[blank_end] is the sliding of notes in intervals of [blank_start]quarter tones[blank_end] or less. [blank_start]Tan[blank_end] are rapid scale flourishes done on the sitar or sarangi.
