Sanskrit raga `tone' or `colour' in Indian
music, a scale of notes and style of ornament
for music associated with a particular mood
or time of day; the equivalent term in rhythm
is tala. A choice of raga and tala forms the
basis of improvised music; however, a written
composition may also be based on (and called)
a raga.
