{"product_id":"macdonald-alap","title":"MacDonald-Alap-(Tabla) OS","description":"Alap by Payton MacDonald is a solo tabla and may also be realized as a solo multiple percussion piece. The title comes from the first part of the first half of a classical North Indian Hindustani instrumental raga performance. These pieces are fully written out, with no improvisation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn Alap is a slow, stately exposition of a raga with no regular rhythmic pulse. Just as a melodic player will unfold a raga one note at a time, so does the tabla drummer gradually reveal the different tones of the drums. The tension and density of the phrases also gradually increases.","brand":"Steve Weiss Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43804596043830,"sku":"MACDONALD MUS 001","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/3055\/1350\/files\/macdonald-alap-tabla-os.jpg?v=1773447979","url":"https:\/\/www.steveweissmusic.com\/products\/macdonald-alap","provider":"Steve Weiss Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
