contents This paper presents an attempt to study the aesthetics of North Indian Khayal music with reference to the flexibility exercised by artists in performing popular compositions. We study expressive timing and pitch variations of the given lyrical content within and across performances and propose computational representations that can discriminate between different performances of the same song in terms of expression. We present the necessary audio processing and annotation procedures, and discuss our observations and insights from the analysis of a dataset of two songs in two ragas each rendered by ten prominent artists.
