The Indian Musicological Society maintains a website at http://musicology.in ii Preface This issue is the combined 2011-2012 edition of the Journal of the Indian Musicological Society. We dedicate this volume to the memory of Dr. Ashok Da Ranade (b. 1937), an eminent ethnomusicologist, who passed away on July 30, 2011 in Mumbai. His path-breaking thoughts and volume of works in the area of not only music but also theatre & film are indeed overwhelming. Dr. Ranade has also been one of the Founding members of the Indian Musicological Society, We feel the great void created by his demise and miss his scholarly presence, guidance, support and advice. This volume is our humble offering to the memory of this great son of India. We would also like to share with our readers that this is the last issue edited by the present team of editors. In 2006, we took the baton from the Founding Editor, Prof. R. C. Mehta and brought out five volumes (36-41). The journey has been richly rewarding and personally gratifying. In some measure we have been able to improve the standard of contributions and also the level of general presentation, lay out etc. Given the amount of interest and level of scholarship in Indian music worldwide, we tried to expand the canvas and give it an international color, both from the perspective of contributions and readers. We take this opportunity to thank all the friends who supported us in this endeavor, and hope that they will continue to support with equal enthusiasm the future activities of the Society, including the Journal. Volume 41 offers scholarly articles, essays, talks and panel discussions on various topics covering a large ground from cross-cultural musical interactions & influences, philosophical issues to organizational aspects.
