Sangita-ratnakara by Sarangadeva About Archives January 2016 October 2015 September 2015 August 2015 July 2015 June 2015 May 2015 April 2015 February 2015 January 2014 December 2013 Sarangadeva’s Sangita-ratnakara (first half of 13th century) is of particular importance, because it was written November 2013 just before influence of the Muslim conquest began to assert itself on Indian culture. The Music discussed in Sangita-ratnakara is free from Persian influence. Sangita-ratnakara therefore marks the stage at which the October 2013 ‘integrated’ Music of India was before it branched into North-South Music traditions. October 2012 It is clear that by the time of Sarangadeva, the Music of India had moved far away from Marga or Gandharva, as September 2012 also from the system based on Jatis (class of melodies) and two parent scales. By his time, many new August 2012 conventions had entered into the main stream; and the concept of Ragas that had taken firm roots was wielding considerable authority. Sarangadeva brought together various strands of the past music traditions, defined almost 267 Ragas, established a sound theoretical basis for music and provided a model for the later Categories musicology (Samgita Shastra). Abhinavagupta (3) Sarangadeva’s emphasis was on the ever changing nature of music, the expanding role of regional (Desi) Agama (6) influences on it, and the increasing complexity of musical material that needed to be systemised time and again.

Carnatic Music Vs. Western Music: a Comparison by Maya Anand
Carnatic Music vs. Western Music: A Comparison by Maya Anand Many music rasikas are familiar with the phrase “music is music” or “all music is the same”. However, as a student of both Western Classical music and Carnatic music, I am able to identify a few fundamental differences in the two styles of music. While it is true that all music is fundamentally similar to some extent, it is important, and quite frankly, interesting to take time to compare the striking contrasts between genres of music. This isn’t to say that Carnatic music and Western music don’t share anything in common. There are definitely similarities in pitch and rhythm, which are the first things that one must understand about any type of music. Pitch is an important aspect in any type of music, and this rings true in both Western and Carnatic music as well. There are many things similar about the basics of these two musical genres. Firstly, both of them have seven notes in their scale. In Western music, that scale is Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, and Ti. In Carnatic music, the scale is Sa, Ri, Ga, Ma, Pa, Dha, and Ni. Already, it is evident that these solfa syllables resemble each other greatly, further demonstrating that all music probably derived from the same concepts. The similarity doesn’t end there. Not only are these differing styles of music similar in pitch, they are also similar in rhythm. In Western Classical music, there is something called a time signature. The time signature of a piece of music is similar to what we call tala in Carnatic music.

Understanding their footwork Processional Music Practices and Embodied Histories as both an enactment of sedimented histories and a creative process of Marié Abe, Boston University, Chair, – Panel Abstract reconfiguring the spatial dynamics of urban streets, I suggest that a sense of enticement emerges from the oscillation between these different temporalities, In Michel de Certeau’s now-famous essay, “Walking the City,” he celebrates particularly within the entanglement of western imperialism and the bodily knowing of the urban environment as a resistant practice: a relational, development of Japanese capitalist modernity that informed the formation of kinesthetic, and ephemeral “anti-museum.” And yet, the potential for one’s chindon-ya. walking to disrupt the social order depends on the walker’s racial, ethnic, gendered, national and/or classed subjectivities. Following de Certeau’s In a State of Belief: Postsecular Modernity and Korean Church provocations, this panel investigates three distinct urban, processional music Performance in Kazakhstan traditions in which walking shapes participants’ relationships to the past, the Margarethe Adams, Stony Brook University city, and/or to each other. For chindon-ya troupes in Osaka - who perform a kind of musical advertisement - discordant walking holds a key to their "The postsecular may be less a new phase of cultural development than it is a performance of enticement, as an intersection of their vested interests in working through of the problems and contradictions in the secularization producing distinct sociality, aesthetics, and history. For the Shanghai process itself" (Dunn 2010:92).
