Mishra Jaati compositions in teentaal

Vishwamohini Script

A <b>mishra-jaati</b> composition has bols in the 3+4 pattern( 1-2-3; 1-2-3-4) and hence the name "mishra" or mixed. 
Please see http://vishwamohini.com/music/music.php?id=846 how these compositions can be played in a 14-beat taal.

When played in teentaal, the 7 syllables can be played in one beat or across multiple beats.

In this example we have the 7-syllable-pattern played across 2 beats.  7 syllables have to fit evenly across 2 beats. To see how this is done, one can think of the 7 syllables as 14 syllables, and then divide this evenly across 2 beats.

If our 7 syllables are: 
<pre>à¤§à¤¾ à¤¤à¥à¤° à¤•	à¤§à¤¾ à¤—à¥‡ à¤¤à¤¿ à¤¨à¥‡	</pre>
We think of this as 
<pre>à¤§à¤¾ - à¤¤à¥à¤° - à¤• -	à¤§à¤¾ - à¤—à¥‡ - à¤¤à¤¿ - à¤¨à¥‡ - </pre>
and divide this in two beats: <pre>à¤§à¤¾ - à¤¤à¥à¤° - à¤• - à¤§à¤¾    |    - à¤—à¥‡ - à¤¤à¤¿ - à¤¨à¥‡ -  |</pre>

The phrase à¤§à¤¾à¤¤à¥à¤°à¤•	à¤§à¤¾à¤—à¥‡à¤¤à¤¿à¤¨à¥‡	   à¤¤à¤¾à¤¤à¥à¤°à¤•	à¤§à¤¾à¤—à¥‡à¤§à¤¿à¤¨à¥‡ now serves as a <i>chalan</i> that we can play before the composition. This phrase will take up 4 beats, and hence we play it 4 times to fit the 16-beat cycle.

<h2>Chalan</h2>
Here's the teentaal theka followed by the chalan described above.

<h2>Composition 2 (à¤…à¤¨à¤¾à¤˜à¤¾à¤¤)</h2>
This composition is à¤…à¤¨à¤¾à¤˜à¤¾à¤¤ (which means stroke-less) because the ending <i>dhaa</i> of the tihai falls not on the sam, but on the beat before the sam.
