Overview of Hindustani Music Styles by Rohit Sharma is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Dhrupad is one of the oldest and grandest forms of Hindustani classical music that is practiced in Northern India. It focuses on musical structure and uses the Shudha Swara Saptaka scale of natural notes. Dhrupad reached its peak under the patronage of Emperor Akbar in his court, where musicians like Baba Gopal Das and Tansen performed. It begins with an unmetered vocal improvisation called alap and includes the use of Sanskrit syllables.
