Description
This seminal work by Sourindro Mohun Tagore presents fifty original musical compositions alongside detailed explanations of the twenty-two srutis, the microtonal intervals fundamental to Hindustani classical music theory. The book includes the narrative tale of Taravati, which illustrates musical principles through storytelling.
Tagore’s systematic approach to documenting Hindu musical theory bridges the gap between ancient Vedic knowledge and modern musical practice. The text serves as both a practical guide for musicians and a philosophical exploration of how music connects to spiritual development in Hindu tradition. The srutis represent the smallest perceptible intervals in Indian classical music, and this work remains one of the most authoritative treatments of this complex system.
This publication by Gyan Publishing House preserves crucial knowledge about Indian classical music theory and its spiritual dimensions, making it essential for musicologists, practitioners, and scholars of Eastern philosophy.
