[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 102725, member: 35"] greenjuice ji This are quite lovely examples of church music from the eastern orthodox rite in Christianity. Please tell me if they are in the Russian Church? Also are they singing in old Slovenian, or in Greek? The musical form of kirtan is governed by the raag of the shabad and is clearly defined for each shabad in the Sri Guru Granth Sahib. In some cases, the "tune" is as well. In Indian classical music, the form of the raag is essentially "protected" or "honored" by centuries of tradition and the raag form is the same or virtually the same whether sung by Hindu or Sikh. For example, listen to Raag Malkuns by nonSikh and Sikh raagis.

The style of kirtaan has changed from classical dhrupad with traditional instruments, such as sarangi, to the more modern khayal with harmonium accompaniment in the 19th Century or so.
