Venkatram Vijay Petkar President Secretary THE AWARD – The Award for Cross Cultural Understanding was instituted by the Rotary Club of Hyderabad in 2007-08 to be awarded to an individual or group of individuals who, coming from one cultural milieu have made the effort to understand & master an art form from a different cultural ethos. This Award has been instituted in furtherance of the ROTARY Objective of advancement of national & international understanding, goodwill, and peace. The Award is inspired by Padma Vibhushan, Sangeet Martand Pt. Jasraj, living legend & doyen of North Indian Classical Music, whose spiritual rendition of music and his effortless ability to mesh homage to different religions, transports the listener into a plane of pure positive emotion & bliss precluding any hatred. The 07-08 Awardee was Mrs. REHANA KHAN for her proficiency in BharataNatyam. The 08-09 Awardee was Padmashree DR. ILEANA CITARISTI, an Italian by birth, for her proficiency in Odissi. The 09-10 Awardee was Mr JUSTIN McCARTHY, an American born, BhrataNatyam dancer proficient in Sanskrit, Tamil & Hindi and on that occasion the then Consul general of the American Consul at Hyderabad, Mr Cornelius Keur was the Special Guest of Honor. THE AWARDEE - Saskia Rao - de Haas is a brilliant cellist from the Netherlands. She is a pioneer in the world of music for introducing her Indian cello to North Indian classical music. Saskia started to learn the cello at the age of eight by the late cello virtuoso Tibor de Machula. She studied cello at the conservatory of Rotterdam specializing in Indian classical music under Koustav Ray and Pt Hariprasad Chaurasia, while finishing her Master’s in Ethnomusicology from the University of Amsterdam. During her subsequent visits to India she also studied under eminent artistes such as Dr Sumati Mutatkar, Pt DK Datar, Pt Deepak Chowdhury and Shubhendra Rao. With no precedent to follow, Saskia has worked with singular dedication to adapt the cello to Indian classical music. She has performed all over India in prestigious festivals for Indian classical music and is an accomplished composer. She created music for various ensembles, dance, film and theatre. She is the founder of the Raga Mala String Quartet. She is currently doing a PhD at the University of Amsterdam on Innovation in Indian Music and has published in musicological magazines. .

  • 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".

  • (Dr) Utpal K Banerjee
    About the Book IGNCA is a treasure-trove of cultural artifacts including a rich repository of Video documentaries (published) and Audio and Video DVDs (unpublished). This book – based on the author’s two-year project -- envisions an on-line A-V cultural archive KALASAMPADA that consists of A-V materials stored at IGNCA for the categories of: Interviews; Ritual Documentation; Archaeological Sites and Walk-through; Events; Festivals; Performances (music-dance-theatre-puppetry-mime); Lectures; Seminars; and Workshops. In order to make such a wide variety of materials available on-line – initially on the Intranet, subsequently on a potential Extranet, and eventually (although very selectively) on the Internet – the following digitisation road-map is observed in the project: Conversion of primary A-V materials from analogue to digital format; Creation of data sheets for metadata tagging, following the international standard of Dublin Core Metadata Element Set (DCMES); Integration of metadata with primary A-V material in IGNCA’s Intranet; Access and retrieval by “simple search” with keywords for casual browsers and “advanced search” for users, researchers and scholars with reference to groups of keywords from the intranet. The objectives of the project of on-line A-V cultural archive are: to bring it into public domain; to make it inter-active for scholars; and to make it internationally compatible. Basic advantages of such a project are really five-fold. First, a digital A-V archive assures the near permanent durability of the A-V material. Secondly, it allows need-based quality enhancement. Thirdly, an archive of this kind makes room for highly economic storage of vulnerable Audio and Video files.

  • Chapter 6 Instruments, Melodic and Rhythmic ______(1) 7-12, C/U Pages 65 the Indian Violin
    Chapter 6 Instruments, Melodic and Rhythmic ______________________________________________________________________ (1) 7-12, C/U Pages 65 The Indian Violin As have those in other nations and cultures, Indians have imported the violin from Europe and have used it with those instruments that are indigenous to the region. Explore with students the acculturation process by which the violin has become integral to Indian musical traditions, listening, observing, and discussing the distinctive manner in which Indians have fashioned (1) its tuning (a-d-a-d), (2) its playing position (at an oblique angle from under the chin to where the scroll rests on the foot), and (3) its timbre (played with a straight, non-vibrato tone). Invite students to play with these possibilities. Look to other journeys the violin has made--to Turkey, Indonesia, Mexico, eastern Canada, the Apache nation, and Bolivia, by searching keywords like "violin", "fiddle" and "lute, bowed", and compare the violin on the three facets which Indians have shaped to their liking and use. _____________________________________________________________________ (2) 7-12, C/U Pages 65-66 Instrumental Influences Challenge students to search for examples of Indian instruments in the musical styles of neighboring countries. What instruments exist in Burma, China, Iraq, Iran, and Nepal that resemble the Indian sāntur (hammered dulcimer), sitār, and tablā? (For illustrations of instruments, see Ruth Midgley et. al., editors, 1997, Musical Instruments of the World, New York: Sterling Publishers). ____________________________________________________________________ (3) AA Pages 66-68 The Drone Have students explore the function of the tānpura in providing a drone to create a fixed tonal center for a melodic performance by a singer or instrumentalist.

  • Inde Du Nord1
    Cité de la musique 1 L’Inde du Nord Traditions hindoustanies programme Jeudi 20, vendredi 21, samedi 22 et dimanche 23 mars 2003 Vous avez la possibilité de consulter les notes de programme en ligne, 2 jours maximum avant chaque concert : www.cite-musique.fr La découverte des Indes « fabuleuses » des XVIe et XVIIe siècles frappa durablement l’imaginaire collectif occidental. Depuis, maintes fois décrite comme une terre de diversité, de contrastes et de paradoxes aux richesses infinies, l’Inde n’a cessé de fasciner. Sa culture musicale, fortement imprégnée d’une ancestrale pensée religieuse, a su préserver un héritage prestigieux tout en s’enrichissant régulièrement d’apports exogènes. La musique jouée au XIIIe siècle à la cour du Sultan de Delhi était alors essentiellement importée d’Asie centrale. Par un lent processus d’intégration et d’assimilation 2 réciproques, des générations de musiciens iraniens, turcs et hindous développèrent une culture musicale syncrétique, issue des mondes persan et indien. C’est ce formidable métissage qui permit aux instruments, aux formes et aux répertoires de s’enrichir mutuellement, en donnant corps à une culture hindoustanie qui allait devenir en Occident, dans le courant du XXe siècle, l’ambassadrice des « musiques du monde ». ’Inde du Nord - Traditions hindoustanies Traditions - ’Inde du Nord L Jeudi 20 mars - 20h Salle des concerts Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia, flûte bansuri Subhankar Banerjee, tabla Bhawani Shankar, pakhavaj Rupak Kulkarni, flûte bansuri 3 programme jeudi 20 mars - 20h Durée du concert : 2h Avec le soutien de l’Ambassade de France en Inde et de l’Indian Council for Cultural Relations Hariprasad Chaurasia Né en 1939, Hariprasad Chaurasia aurait dû, en bonne logique, reprendre le métier de son père, qui était lutteur.
