Definitions for "Hori"
Keywords:  festival, holi, genre, rous, thumri
A genre of light or semi-art vocal music consisting of songs describing the well-know festival of colours, holi. Songs dealing with the same theme are also sung in the dhrupad form of art music, but then they are composed in tala dhamar and, hence, called hori-dhamar. Their treatment naturally differs from the hori-s sung in the semi-art category. These songs mostly celebrate Lord Krishna and his amo­rous play with gopi-s.
A light musical genre similar to thumri whose lyrics relate to the Holi festival.
