Khayal is that vocal genre of all North Indian vocal styles which gives its performers the greatest opportunity and also the greatest challenge to display the depth and breadth of their musical knowledge and skills.
Khayal is the genre of improvisational music, and hence it is the study of artist’s creative individuality and ability to render a unique khayal at each performance.
During bara khayal, the artist is expected to cover a range of subjects, ideally giving importance to all musical elements such as melody, rhythm and technique, with a slow and contemplative beginning to invoke the very mood of the raag.

 HERE-NOW4U :Deshpande :Indian Music and Its Effect on Indian Psyche
This might be said of numerous art forms but in 'Khayal' singing this search is an active part of musical performance itself as a spontaneous improvisation on a given theme lies at the core of the art.
Whereas 'Khayal' retains very high technical standards, the element of risk taking and delving into the unknown of 'leaping before you look', is steadily on the decline.
The spirit of individualism is central to the 'Khayal' ethos; the performer's individualism does not lie merely in the way in which he presents pre-composed material, but he is actively involved in an extempore compositional process.

In Khayal form of Hindustani, improvisation and elaboration are so important that the lyrics of the composition itself are almost trivial.
Khayal performances consist of the bada khayal and the chhota khayal.
In khayal, words are seen vis-a-vis the music and rhythm requirements, and are thus not enunciated as clearly as in dhrupad.

The change in popular style of singing from dhrupad to khayal had a lot to do with the fact that art forms moved away from the religious to the secular in terms of space, at least.
In the shift from dhrupad to khayal, only the sthayi and antara sections of the bandish were retained.
The major gharanas of khayal existing today are the Gwalior gharana, the Kirana gharana, the Jaipur-Atrauli gharana, the Agra gharana, the Patiala gharana, the Rampur-Sahaswan gharana, the Mewati gharana and the Bhendi Bazar gharana.

The WFP programme assistant with whom she spoke, Neiaz Ibrahim, was in Taragan village that day interviewing participants for an agency-sponsored, income-generation project in Suleimaniyeh Governorate and Khayal, 42, was the perfect candidate: she had no regular income, she was a widow, and she was the sole provider for her two children.
For the first time in her life, Khayal was in business, thanks to WFP, which paid for the beehives, training, equipment and technical support to the Kurdistan Women's Union, the agency's local implementing partner.
Khayal - whose name means "dream" in Kurdish - keeps the beehives in a shed some 10 meters away from her house.

Khayal (literally "imagination") is the standard classical vocal form in Hindustani music.
Khayal tends to be less well-received in the West than instrumental music or even dhrupad, but this is partly coincidental.
In addition, while there is a certain "universal" feel to instrumental music, khayal is based largely on nonsense phrases, making an understanding of the language not especially important (although it can help).

 Shweta Jhaveri | Cosmic Khayals
Indian classical vocal form 'Khayal' from the 13th century continues to be one of the most enjoyable and accepted forms in the 21st century.
A Khayal is a lyric in the Hindi language, composed and sung in various ragas (melodic structures) and talas (rhythms).
Khayal is comprised of different vocal techniques such as: alaap (elaboration), taan (speedy note patterns), sargam (notation), meend (glide), murki (brief embellishment) and kan swara (grace note).

 About Khayal   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The khayal is divided into two parts, namely the 'asthai' which is sung in the lower and middle register of the melodic scale, and the 'antara' which is sung in the upper and middle register of the melodic outline.
The 'bada' khayal is followed by the 'chota' (which means small) khayal which is structurally same the 'bada' khayal but is sung in a medium to fast tempo.
The 'chota' khayal has a greater emphasis on the rhythmic component and the note patterns are complex in nature.

The essential component of a khayal is a composition (Bandish) and the expansion of the text of the composition within the framework of the raga.
The seeds of Khayal were sown by famous poet-musician and court poet to eleven Mughal emperors, Amir Khusro of the 13th century.
Khayal came into full bloom in the hands of master Sada Rang (pen-name of the well known Khayal composer Niamat Khan) of the 18th century.

One of the descendants of Sadarang Adarang, Natthan Peebaksh, settled in Gwalior.
The original khayalgharana, which seems to have presented a model of khayal singing, came to be known as the Gwalior gharana chiefly to distinguish itself from a number of other gharanas that later came up, notably the Jaipur, Agra, Kriana and Patiala.

 HINDUSTANI MUSICIndian Classical Music is classified into two broadsystems
The Alap and the Bandish are dealt with in a variety of ways in actual performance, largely depending on the style of Khayal singing adopted by a particular school or Gharana.
The main difference between the Bada Khayal and Chhota Khayal lies in the tempo or laya to which they are sung, and also in the kind of improvisation that follows the presentation of the Cheez.
In the Khayal, the fast type is usually a meaningful poem while in a Tarana, there is no poem as such and the emphasis is on producing rhythmic patterns with vocables.

Khayal ras, a vocal music style with imaginative use of lyrics, began to emerge in instrumental music with Vilayat Khan’s introspective vision and vivid imagination.
There were various subjects involved in khayal ras which required ample improvisations in order to translate it in instrumental music.
The transition towards khayal ras is quite evident in Vilayat Khan’s recordings from 60’s onwards.

The psuedo-khayalias have simply eliminated sahitya, rasa, and tal : and made an effigy from swara and raga, camouflaged with the cover of tans with no reference to the image or content of the cheez(composition).
