Soft cover. Zustand: New. A NEW ERA IN CLASSICAL MUSIC UNVEILED BY DR L. SUBRAMANIAM. Dr L. Subramaniam, who s been called arguably the greatest violinist in the history of Indian music , is also one of the most formally inventive musicians of our time. A polymorphous talent, he is not bound by genres or geographies nor fear of the untried and uncharted. It is in this spirit that, as a young student, Dr Subramaniam set about creating a system that would integrate the melodic nature of the Indian raga system with the harmonic structure of Western classical music. What those early years of study tried and tested over the decades led to was the possibility of orchestral compositions for Indian ragas, evoking their mood within the rich sound of symphony orchestras. Raga Harmony unveils Dr Subramaniam s revolutionary thirty-six-scale concept that will allow compositions by Indian composers based on Indian ragas to be performed by some of the most prestigious orchestras across the globe. The use of this system enables the generation of lush harmonies that are not only uncommon and pleasing, but also intricate and intellectually intriguing.…

At the end of the nineteenth century two men with very different visions V.N. Bhatkhande and V.D. Paluskar worked to give Indian classical music its distinctive shape and identity. Where previously no particular ideology religious group or ethnic identity had dominated in the hands of Paluskar a devotionalist nationalist music was to be cleansed of its bawdy associations and put in the service of Hindu proselytizing. Bhatkhande on the other hand hoped that through systematic classification and categorization music would become a modern national academic art avoiding religious entanglement. Viewed against the backdrop of colonial modernity the different projects of these two men exemplify not only the success of a reformist modernization of music but also the failures contradictions and compromises that accompanied North Indian classical music's transformation in relation to gender caste religion and the public cultural sphere. 338 pp.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. A provocative account of the development of modern national culture in India using classical music as a case study. Janaki Bakhle demonstrates how the emergence of an "Indian" cultural tradition reflected colonial and exclusionary practices, particularly the exclusion of Muslims by the Brahmanic elite, which occurred despite the fact that Muslims were the major practiti oners of the Indian music that was installed as a "Hindu" national tradition. This book lays bare how a nation's imaginings--from politics to culture--reflect rather than transform societal divisions.…
