The Penguin Dictionary of Indian Classical Music

$8.33 $6.25

Quantity:

The Penguin Dictionary of Indian Classical Music, the first of its kind, provides definitions of musical terms and descriptions of the traditions and styles that constitute the rich musical heritage of India. From the primary enunciation of a raga as 'aa', the unstructured, emotionally inspired musical rendering, to the Urdu term 'zamzama' that refers to the back and forth movement of a note, the dictionary defines the A to Z in Indian classical music. Comparison between the two systems in terms of ragas and the use of notes is facilitated by cross references. And Raghava Menon's introduction provides a perceptive insight into what constitutes Indian classical music, both in emotive and technical terms.Complete with photographs of the major instruments used in the two traditions as well as those of some of the all-time great musicians in Indian classical music, the volume is intended to be a valuable reference book for the virtuoso and the lay person aspiring for a greater understanding of Indian music.

About the Author:

RAGHAVA R. MENON studied music in the guru-shishya tradition under Pandit V.A. Kashalkar, one of the oldest students of Pandit Vishnu Digambar Palusker. He has written and published several books, book-reviews, short stories and articles on music in several newspapers and magazines in India and abroad.

TESTIMONIALS

I have worked in libraries for 35 years, and have been the director at the library where I am currently employed for 27 years. A full reading room brings joy to my heart. The books I purchase from you, however, are for my avocation - and there is nothing more I enjoy - even during my leisure - than perusing a catalog of new publication, and then plotting how to order them, pay for them, and then sneak them into the house past my wife, who thinks I already have too many books!...
