Giti
In a broad sense, this term carries the same meaning as 'Gīta,' specifically describing the style employed in singing.
The Śāstras identify five singing styles, regarded as pillars of Rāga performance. Each of these styles is associated with various Rāgas. The five styles are:
Ṥuddha Gīti: utilizes notes in a conventional and gentle manner.
Bhinnā Gīti: employs notes by articulating them swiftly and incorporating delightful Gamaka and Alaṁkāra.
Gauḍī Gīti: represents a restrained style that effectively utilizes Gamaka and Alaṁkāra in all three registers.
Vegasvarā Gīti: 'Vega' denotes speed, and 'Svara' refers to notes. This style is characterized by the use of speed in melodic exposition.
Sādhāraṇī Gīti: blends the peculiarities of all the other Gīti styles.
There is a correspondence, especially in the manner of presenting the Ālāpa and in Dhrupada compositions.
Ṥuddha Gīti corresponds to Ḍāgara Vāṅī
Bhinnā Gīti corresponds to Khaṇḍāra Vāṅī
Gauḍī Gīti corresponds to Gauḍa, Gauḍahāra, or Gobarahāra Vāṅī
Sādhāraṇī Gīti corresponds to Nauhāra Vāṅī
The Vegasvarā Gīti encompasses any composition characterized by sustained speed and the use of various performance techniques.
