Antara (music)

Antara (music)

Antara is the equivalent of a verse in Hindustani classical music.

In Hindustani classical music, the fixed (dhrupad/bandish) section is in four parts of which only the first two are performed regularly: Sthayi (pallavi in Carnatic music) - the first line of the Sthayi serves as a Cadence (music), while the section itself serves as a base for the singer returns to the Sthayi time and again after each part; Antara (Anupallavi in Carnatic music) - the intermediate part sung in a high register focusing on the tar shadja, with a good deal of text manipulation and repeated forays into sthayi; the third section Sanchari (caranam in Carnatic music) - created by the division of the Abhoga and it remains a free-moving section; the fourth and concluding section Abhoga (Pallavi in Carnatic music because this section is often replaced by the Sthayi) includes notes from all three registers, and in present-day performances, may well be sung with the Sanchari, if these two sections are included.
