FOUR ONLY The Visvabharali, Santiniketan, says : The Music Academy of Madras deserves the best congratulations of all lovers of music in this country for furnishing a fairly detailed study of Tyagaraja and his contribution to the music world. The life-story of a Vaggeyakara is in a way the personified history of the music of his days. The present special number of the Madras Music Academy not only supplies us with the dates and facts of the great life of a saint and an epoch-making musician but also presents to a serious student of music, a model plan for taking up the study of musical compositions and their authors. Let all lovers and students of music, both in North and South India, derive inspiration from a critical study of this commemoration volume. THE X X V MADRAS MUSIC CONFERENCE 1951 OFFICIAL REPORT THE OPENING DAY 21st December 1951 The Twentyfifth session of the Annual Music Conference of the Madras, Music Apademy was held at the Sri Sundareswnrar Hall, Mylapore, Madras and the P. S. High School Hall, Mylapore, Madras, from 21st December 1951 to 1st January 1952. In the unavoidable absence of the Maharajah of Mysore who had graciously agreed to open the Conference, Sri T. R. Venkatararua Sastri inaugurated the Conference. Sangita Vidvan Sri Chembai Vaidyanatha Bhagavatar presided over the deliberations of the Experts’ Commit-tee. The opening function was held in the Sri Sundareswarar Hall. There was a distinguished gathering of musicians and music lovers.

The function commenced with prayer by the students of the Teachers’ College of Music conducted by the Academy. Dr. V Raghavan, Secretary, read the messages received from •several distinguished persons. The following messages had been received wishing the Con rence success: H .H .T h e Maharajah o f Mysore said in the coursoof his messnge: “ It gives me great pleasure to send this message of sincere good wishes on the occasion of the opening of the Twentyfifth Conference of the Madi as Music Academy, at which I myself had looked forward to be present. For nearly a quarter of a century the Madras Music Academy has rendered yeoman service in the cause of the preserva­ tion, study, development and propagation of Carnatic Music. Lovers (q 2 THE JOURNAL OF THE MADRAS MUSIC ACADEMY [VOL. XXIII of music owe much to the Conferences and to the discussions of the Academy’s Experts’ Committees, where doubtful and difficult matters of Sastra and Sampradaya, Sruti and Rngnlukshnnn, Sahitya and Sangita have been unravelled and interpreted. Through its Teachers’ College of Music and publications, the Academy is rendering valuable services to this great Art all through the year. Carnatic Music is our national heritage, and the preservation of its form in its original purity is a sacred duty to which the Music Academy is dedicated. May the beneficent activities of the Academy receive the blessings of Nada Brahma, and may its noble work continue to be a source of enlightenment and inspiration to the Votaries of Music in our country.” H. E. The Maharajah of Bhavanagar, Governor of Madras, said in his message: " I am glad to know that the Music Academy, Madras, proposes to hold its Twentyfifth Music Conference in Madras, Music concerts arranged by such institutions in connection with these annual ConferenceS~Tcre—in^rmativQr instructive and creative. Carnatic and classical music is a rich heritage of South India and I am sure, such institutions as the Music Academy will strive their best to maintain and foster the growth of this art which is closely inter­ woven with our culture. In this era of renaissance in our arts, music, I am sure, will occupy a prominent place. It is my hope that music which radiates happiness, will be an accomplishment o f every house in our country before long. I wish the Conference every success.” Dr. Sir C. P. Ramaswami Aiyar, President of the Academy Silver .Jubilee Committee, wrote from America: “ The Madras Music Academy which will celebrate its Silver Jubilee next year has been a pioneer in the matter of the encouragement and stimulation of musical talent and has been also decisive factor in the cultivation of a correct musical taste and the eschewal of the vulgar and common place aspects so often emphasised and manifested. Indian Music very definitely satisfies the criterion laid down by a great critic who said that all art constantly aspires towards the condition o f music- In Madras which had done so much for Carnatic music it is essential to have a well equipped and acoustically satisfactory hall fit lor the adequate presentation of the finest types of our South Indian compo­ sitions and melodies.

Valpey The Palgrave Macmillan Animal Ethics Series Series Editors Andrew Linzey Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics Oxford, UK Priscilla N. Cohn Pennsylvania State University Villanova, PA, USA Associate Editor Clair Linzey Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics Oxford, UK In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the ethics of our treatment of animals. Philosophers have led the way, and now a range of other scholars have followed from historians to social scientists. From being a marginal issue, animals have become an emerging issue in ethics and in multidisciplinary inquiry. Tis series will explore the challenges that Animal Ethics poses, both conceptually and practically, to traditional understandings of human-animal relations. Specifcally, the Series will: • provide a range of key introductory and advanced texts that map out ethical positions on animals • publish pioneering work written by new, as well as accomplished, scholars; • produce texts from a variety of disciplines that are multidisciplinary in character or have multidisciplinary relevance.

  • “I Cannot Live Without Music”
    INTERVIEW “I cannot live without music” Swati Tirunal was undoubtedly one of the most important modern composers, one who included Hindustani styles in his compositions. Nowadays it has become fashionable to say you must avoid Hindustani in Carnatic music or the other way around. But looking back, Bhimsen Joshi was among those south Indians who became luminaries in the north Indian style. How many south Indians are really open to Hindustani music is debatable. The late M.S. Gopalakrishnan was very competent in the Hindustani field, and my colleague Sanjay Subrahmanyan is a Carnatic musician open to Hindustani ragas – he sings a Rama Varma at the Swarasadhana workshop focussing on Swati Tirunal’s compositions pallavi in Bagesree, for instance. Then again there are ‘fundamentalist’ groups Well known Carnatic vocalist Rama Varma was in Chennai recently to who think Behag, Sindhubhairavi, conduct a two-day workshop (9 and 10 February 2013) Swarasadhana, Yamunakalyani, Sivaranjani and their at the Satyananda Yoga Centre at Triplicane. Here he speaks of the event, ilk should be totally done away with. his journey in classical music and his thoughts on the changing trends of the art form. Rama Varma How did Swarasadhana happen? in conversation with I have been teaching in a village called Perla near Mangalore for the past M. Ramakrishnan four years, at a music school called Veenavadini, run by the musician Yogeesh Sharma. He invites musicians to visit there once a year. Four years ago Veenavadini invited me. They enjoyed my teaching and Do you follow the same style of teaching I enjoyed being there too, and my visits became regular.

  • Fusion Without Confusion Raga Basics Indian
    Fusion Without Confusion Raga Basics Indian Rhythm Basics Solkattu, also known as konnakol is the art of performing percussion syllables vocally. It comes from the Carnatic music tradition of South India and is mostly used in conjunction with instrumental music and dance instruction, although it has been widely adopted throughout the world as a modern composition and performance tool. Similarly, the music of North India has its own system of rhythm vocalization that is based on Bols, which are the vocalization of specific sounds that correspond to specific sounds that are made on the drums of North India, most notably the Tabla drums. Like in the south, the bols are used in musical training, as well as composition and performance. In addition, solkattu sounds are often referred to as bols, and the practice of reciting bols in the north is sometimes referred to as solkattu, so the distinction between the two practices is blurred a bit. The exercises and compositions we will discuss contain bols that are found in both North and South India, however they come from the tradition of the North Indian tabla drums. Furthermore, the theoretical aspect of the compositions is distinctly from the Hindustani, (north Indian) tradition. Hence, for the purpose of this presentation, the use of the term Solkattu refers to the broader, more general practice of Indian rhythmic language. South Indian Percussion Mridangam Dolak Kanjira Gattam North Indian Percussion Tabla Baya (a.k.a. Tabla) Pakhawaj Indian Rhythm Terms Tal (also tala, taal, or taala) – The Indian system of rhythm. Tal literally means "clap".

    Newsletter Volume 6, Issue 11, November 2016 Mechanical Aspire Achievements in Sports, Projects, Industry, Research and Education All About Nobel Prize- Part 35 The Breakthrough Prize Inspired by Nobel Prize, there have been many other prizes similar to that, both in amount and in purpose. One such prize is the Breakthrough Prize. The Breakthrough Prize is backed by Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg and Google co-founder Sergey Brin, among others. The Breakthrough Prize was founded by Brin and Anne Wojcicki, who runs genetic testing firm 23andMe, Chinese businessman Jack Ma, and Russian entrepreneur Yuri Milner and his wife Julia. The Breakthrough Prizes honor important, primarily recent, achievements in the categories of Fundamental Physics, Life Sciences and Mathematics . The prizes were founded in 2012 by Sergey Brin and Anne Wojcicki, Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan, Yuri and Julia Milner, and Jack Ma and Cathy Zhang. Committees of previous laureates choose the winners from candidates nominated in a process that’s online and open to the public. Laureates receive $3 million each in prize money. They attend a televised award ceremony designed to celebrate their achievements and inspire the next generation of scientists. As part of the ceremony schedule, they also engage in a program of lectures and discussions. Those that go on to make fresh discoveries remain eligible for future Breakthrough Prizes. The Trophy The Breakthrough Prize trophy was created by Olafur Eliasson. “The whole idea for me started out with, ‘Where do these great ideas come from? What type of intuition started the trajectory that eventually becomes what we celebrate today?’” Like much of Eliasson's work, the sculpture explores the common ground between art and science.

Dandawate Department of Electronics and Telecommunication, Vishwakarma Institute of Information Technology, SPPU- Savitribai Phule Pune University, Pune, Maharashtra, India ABSTRACT Indian classical music is an ancient art form. Western and Indian music differ in the sequence of musical notes that are present in the melodic segment. Raga recognition in Indian classical music has been an exciting area of music information retrieval system. This can be useful to create a music library, search raga related music, and music education system. Recognition of raga using machine learning algorithms is a very complex task. This paper aims to find a suitable classifier for a dataset of instrumental music of 12 ragas. The music database has audio files of 4 different musical instruments. For this dataset, the ensemble bagged tree classifier outperforms the raga recognition. This approach suits our dataset to gain accuracy of 96.32%. This paper compares the results with the ensemble subspace KNN model which gives an accuracy of 95.83%.
