The sārangī (Hindi: सारंगी, ) is a bowed, short-necked string instrument from India which is used in Hindustani classical music. It is said to most resemble the sound of the human voice – able to imitate vocal ornaments such as ''gamaks'' (shakes) and ''meends'' (sliding movements). == History == There are different versions for the meaning and origins of "sarangi" The word "sarangi" could be a combination of two sanskrit words: "saar" (summary) and "ang" (form, herein different styles of playing instrumental music for e.g. "gayaki ang") hence meaning the instrument that can summarize every style of music or playing."Sarang" in fact has a number of meanings in Sanskrit. According to some musicians, the word ''sarangi'' is a combination of two words ‘seh’(Persian equivalent of three) and ‘rangi’ (Persian equivalent of colored) corrupted as ''sarangi''. The term seh-rangi represents the three melody strings. However the most common folk etymology is that ''sarangi'' is derived from 'sol rang'(a hundred colours) indicating its adaptability to many styles of vocal music, its flexible tunability, and its ability to produce a large palette of tonal colour and emotional nuance. The repertoire of ''sarangi'' players is traditionally very closely related to vocal music. Nevertheless, a concert with a solo ''sarangi'' as the main item will sometimes include a full-scale ''raag'' presentation with an extensive ''alap'' (the unmeasured improvisatory development of the raga) in increasing intensity (alap-jor-jhala) and several compositions in increasing tempi called ''bandish''. As such, it could be seen as being on a par with other instrumental styles such as sitar, sarod, and bansuri. ''Sarangi'' music is often vocal music. It is rare to find a ''sarangi'' player who does not know the words of many classical compositions. The words are usually mentally present during performance, and performance almost always adheres to the conventions of vocal performance including the organisational structure, the types of elaboration, the tempo, the relationship between sound and silence, and the presentation of ''khyal'' and ''thumri'' compositions. The vocal quality of ''sarangi'' is in a quite separate category from, for instance, the so-called ''gayaki-ang'' of sitar which attempts to imitate the nuances of ''khyal'' while overall conforming to the structures and usually keeping to the ''gat'' compositions of instrumental music. (A ''gat'' is a composition set to a cyclic rhythm.) The ''sarangi'' is also a traditional stringed musical instrument of Nepal, commonly played by the Gaine or Gandarbha ethnic group but the form and repertoire of ''sarangi'' is more towards the folk music as compared to the heavy and classical form of repertoire in India. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sarangi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
