Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Indian Conceptions of Music The modern world needs Tone Poems born of the world-soul some expression of the Christ spirit, the spirit of love, which has yet to unite the peoples of the earth. There could be no higher ideal for the young musician, whether of East or of West, than to make of himself an instrument upon which that spirit might breathe. But since that artist alone is truly great who can submit himself to the preparatory labour which such an ideal must impose, let us remind ourselves that it is in the patient study of, and sympathy with, the little things in the arts of many nations, that we that will acquire the power whereby to strike fresh chords and free new melodies in the music of the future.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Indian Conceptions of Music The slender outline of the Indian musical system which is given in the following pages might be used as a guide through the intricacies of existing treatises on the subject. The student finds in these much that is contradictory in seeming, and confusing in nomenclature; but I venture to believe that the principles so briefly stated in this paper are, on the contrary, common to the whole of Indian musical art, although the terms employed are sometimes of the North, and sometimes of the South. What we have to remember in our study of Indian music - as, indeed, of any worthy subject - is that it is the fact that matters, not the name by which the fact is called, or the convention by which it may be concealed. Thus, for instance, the apparent difference between the system of mélas in the South and that of ràgas in the North ceases to be a question of essential import when we see that the méla is only ràga resolved into its component tones for purposes of classification and analysis, and that Northern and Southern ràgas are equally susceptible to such resolution. Or again, the much-disputed question as to the number of srutis (microtones) becomes to us a matter of entire indifference when we realise that Natural or Just Intonation is common to all Aryan peoples, and that the number of microtonal shades which can be added to septenary scales depends not upon a fixed "law" of the theorist, but upon the capacity of the individual musician to hear and reproduce them. As for the standard by which we can determine what is Natural Intonation and what not - a matter of much recent discussion - the ultimate and only test for artistic as distinct from purely scientific purposes must ever remain the musical ear itself - the sense of true pitch which is common to all who are musically intuitive. Other tests are surely useful, but they are for the laboratory; they follow, but it is obvious that they cannot lead, the artist. For the benefit of Indian readers who may not be acquainted with recent developments in Western music, I would here explain that this paper was read before members of a body of Western musicians and composers, all of whom are keenly interested in, and some of whom are actually creating, the conditions of modern Western music.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Music of India These differences are reflected in the music of the North and of the South, though we must not commit the mistake of thinking of these as distinct types of music. There is one Indian music, though there are many ways of working it out; and these all group themselves under the Northern and Southern schools. Distinguished as the Northern or Hindustani school and the Southern or Carnatic school, both are yet based on the principles stated in the ancient Sanskrit treatises on music.

Download or read book Resonances of the Raj written by Nalini Ghuman and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the century of British rule of the Indian subcontinent known as the British Raj, the rulers felt the significant influence of their exotic subjects. Resonances of the Raj examines the ramifications of the intertwined and overlapping histories of Britain and India on English music in the last fifty years of the colonial encounter, and traces the effects of the Raj on the English musical imagination. Conventional narratives depict a one-way influence of Britain on India, with the 'discovery' of Indian classical music occurring only in the post-colonial era. Drawing on new archival sources and approaches in cultural studies, author Nalini Ghuman shows that on the contrary, England was both deeply aware of and heavily influenced by India musically during the Indian-British colonial encounter. Case studies of representative figures, including composers Edward Elgar and Gustav Holst, and Maud MacCarthy, an ethnomusicologist and performer of the era, integrate music directly into the cultural history of the British Raj. Ghuman thus reveals unexpected minglings of peoples, musics and ideas that raise questions about 'Englishness', the nature of Empire, and the fixedness of identity. Richly illustrated with analytical music examples and archival photographs and documents, many of which appear here in print for the first time, Resonances of the Raj brings fresh hearings to both familiar and little-known musics of the time, and reveals a rich and complex history of cross-cultural musical imaginings which leads to a reappraisal of the accepted historiographies of both British musical culture and of Indo-Western fusion.
Download or read book Indian Classical Music and the Gramophone 1900 1930 written by Vikram Sampath and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-06-30 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1902 The Gramophone Company in London sent out recording experts on "expeditions" across the world to record voices from different cultures and backgrounds. All over India, it was women who embraced the challenge of overcoming numerous social taboos and aesthetic handicaps that came along with this nascent technology. Women who took the plunge and recorded largely belonged to the courtesan community, called tawaifs and devadasis, in North and South India, respectively. Recording brought with it great fame, brand recognition, freedom from exploitative patrons, and monetary benefits to the women singers. They were to become pioneers of the music industry in the Indian sub-continent. However, despite the pioneering role played by these women, their stories have largely been forgotten. Contemporaneous with the courtesan women adapting to recording technology was the anti-nautch campaign that sought to abolish these women from the performing space and brand them as common prostitutes. A vigorous renaissance and arts revival movement followed, leading to the creation of a new classical paradigm in both North Indian (Hindustani) and South Indian (Carnatic) classical music. This resulted in the standardization, universalization, and institutionalization of Indian classical music. This newly created classical paradigm impacted future recordings of The Gramophone Company in terms of a shift in genres and styles. Vikram Sampath sheds light on the role and impact of The Gramophone Company’s early recording expeditions on Indian classical music by examining the phenomenon through a sociocultural, historical and musical lens. The book features the indefatigable stories of the women and their experiences in adapting to recording technology. The artists from across India featured are: Gauhar Jaan of Calcutta, Janki Bai of Allahabad, Zohra Bai of Agra, Malka Jaan of Agra, Salem Godavari, Bangalore Nagarathnamma, Coimbatore Thayi, Dhanakoti of Kanchipuram, Bai Sundarabai of Pune, and Husna Jaan of Banaras.

Book excerpt: Music has been neglected by imperial historians, but this book shows that music is an essential aspect of identity formation and cross-cultural exchange. It explores the ways in which rational, moral, and aesthetic motives underlying the institutionalization of "classical" music converged and diverged in Britain and India from 1880-1940.
