'''Kirana gharana''' is one of the most prolific [[Hindustani classical music|Indian classical]] [[khyal]] [[gharana]]s,<ref>{{cite news|url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-01-26/hubli/28372632_1_kirana-gharana-prabha-atre-kaivalyakumar-gurav|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121104182515/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-01-26/hubli/28372632_1_kirana-gharana-prabha-atre-kaivalyakumar-gurav|url-status=dead|archive-date=4 November 2012|title=Torch-bearers of kirana gharana, and their followers|date=26 January 2011|work=[[The Times of India]]|access-date=21 February 2016}}</ref> and is concerned foremost with perfect intonation of notes ([[swara]]).{{citation needed|date=April 2018}}

==Singing style==
The central concern of the Kirana style is [[swara]], or individual notes, in particular precise tuning and expression of notes. In the Kirana Gayaki (singing style), the individual notes (swaras) of the raga are considered not just random points in the scale but independent realms of music capable of horizontal expansion. Highly emotional ''pukars'' in the higher octaves form a part of the musical experience. Another unique feature of this gharana is the highly intricate and ornate use of the ''sargam taan'' (weaving patterns with the notations themselves) introduced by [[Abdul Karim Khan]] under influence from the Carnatic classical style.

In the late nineteenth century [[Abdul Karim Khan]] and [[Abdul Wahid Khan]] revolutionized the khayal gayaki by introducing the [[vilambit]] (a slow tempo section) to delineate the structure of the raga note by note.

Frequently performed ragas by musicians of the gharana include Todi, Lalit, Multani, Patdeep, Puriya, Marwa, Shuddha Kalyan, Darbari Kanhara, and Komal-Rishabh Asavari. Noted Marathi thespian PuLa Deshpande has pointed out that performers from the Kirana gharana are particularly fond of the Komal Re/Rishabh (or [[minor second]] in the western system) note of the classical music scale, a frequent feature of these commonly performed ragas.

==History==
In the 19th-century the Kirana gharana coalesced around Miyan Bande Ali Khan, a player of the [[rudra veena]]. The gharana's style was further developed, and established as one of the prominent styles in modern [[Indian classical music]] in the late 19th / early 20th centuries by the musicians [[Abdul Karim Khan]] and [[Abdul Wahid Khan]].<ref>{{Cite web| title =Kirana gharana|url = http://www.itcsra.org/sra_story/sra_story_guru/sra_story_guru_links/sra_story_guru_gharana/gharana.asp?gharanaid=3 | publisher =ITC Sangeet Research Academy | access-date = 21 February 2016 }}</ref> [[Abdul Karim Khan]] was an extremely popular musician, and was thus highly influential in popularizing the gharana. Some trace the gharana's roots back farther to the 13th-century musician Gopal Nayak, a Hindu musician (of the [[dhrupad]] style) who later converted to Islamic [[Sufi]]sm and in the process assimilated the predominantly Muslim [[khyal]] musical style.<ref>[[#La|Lavezzoli, p. 246]]</ref>

The name of this school of music derives from Kirana or [[Kairana]], a town and tehsil of [[Shamli district|Shamli District]] in [[Uttar Pradesh]]. It is the birthplace of [[Abdul Karim Khan]] (1872–1937), who was one of the most important musicians of this gharana and of Hindustani music in general in the twentieth century. A frequent visitor to the Court of [[Mysore]], Abdul Karim Khan was also influenced by [[Carnatic music]], and roots of the tradition can also be traced back to his great-grandfather Ghulam Ali and Ghulam Maula, the brother of Ghulam Ali.

Owing to the popularity of [[Abdul Karim Khan]], most contemporary Hindustani musicians from [[Karnataka]] are exponents of Kirana gharana, and Kirana gharana in turn has absorbed many of the features of the Carnatic tradition. The culturally rich border region between [[Karnataka]] and [[Maharashtra]] is particularly well known for its association with the gharana.

The other primary master of the gharana, in the early 20th century, was Abdul Karim Khan's cousin [[Abdul Wahid Khan]] who chose to settle at [[Lahore]], [[Pakistan]] after the 1947 [[Partition of British India]].
