Description
This remarkable hardcover volume represents a significant contribution to the study and preservation of Indian classical music and Hindu musical theory. Sourindro Mohun Tagore, a pioneering ethnomusicologist and composer, brings together fifty original musical compositions set to music, demonstrating his mastery of traditional Hindu musical forms.
The work is divided into distinct sections: the fifty tunes showcase diverse melodic and rhythmic structures, while Taravati, a classical tale, provides narrative context within a musical framework. The centerpiece of this scholarly work is the detailed exposition of the twenty-two musical srutis, the microtonal intervals that form the foundation of Hindustani and Carnatic classical music traditions.
For musicologists, students of Indian classical music, and scholars of Hindu spirituality and culture, this compilation serves as an invaluable reference. The hardcover edition ensures durability for repeated study and consultation, making it an essential addition to any collection focused on world music, ethnomusicology, and Indian cultural heritage.
