Contact: [email protected] 5 Music, the Media, and Communal Relations in North India, Past and Present PETER MANUEL MUCH OF THE DISCUSSION of communalism has attempted to ascertain the depth of the evident communal sentiment reflected in recent distur bances and the rise of Hindu militancy. Amrita Basu's essay above echoes a similar question about cultural history: do current developments reflect profound, long-standing, grass-roots animosity, or, alternately, are they merely the products of contemporary elite manipulation, ultimately con ditioned by factorsother than religious ones? While sociopolitical history is a natural focusfor such inquiries, the study of expressive culture may re veal much about social practices and attitudes, both elite and grass-roots, past and present. This chapter focuses on musical culture in north India, outlining relevant aspects of the social history of classical music, and pre senting some observations on twentieth-century folkand popular musics. My discussion of the contemporary scene will also refer to related forms of expressive culture, notably Hindi cinema and the sociopolitical uses of cassettes. Given the extraordinary diversity of South Asian musical genres and practices, any attempt to generalize about music's relation to communal ism is destined to a degree of superficiality.

MODULE - V Performing Arts: Music, Dance and Drama Painting, Performing Arts and Architecture Notes 12 PERFORMING ARTS: MUSIC, DANCE AND DRAMA usic, dance, drama, folk theatre or puppetry our country India, had all of it in abundance. Oh! somebody playing the Dhol (music instrument) and there is Mmusic, we run to see what it is. Well, it is Lohri which is normally held on 13th January every year in the Northern part of our country. People are singing and dancing with a lot of enthusiasam. These dances are called Bhangra and Gidda in Punjab. These songs and dances portray the various stages in our lives. They reflect the socio-religious customs and practices of rural people earlier, but now are a part of modern city culture also. No school programme is complete without them. They are linked through centuries of celebration and might have started with fertility rites to obtain prosperity for the agricultural community i.e. fertility of land and cattle but also of birth and survival of children. There are many reasons for celebration that it is difficult to list them. Why don’t you make a list of these activities and find out how and why people celebrate them. You will not only find this activity interesting but you will be unable to put a full stop to it. Do you know why? Because the number is so large that you will never be able to know all the music, dance and drama that our country has. India is a land of rich culture and heritage. Since the beginning of our civilization, music, dance and drama have been an integral aspect of our culture.

Praise for the Carnatic Music System Shankar Ramachandran
COVER STORY RAVI SHANKAR AT 91 All praise for the Carnatic music system Shankar Ramachandran Excerpts from the interview. How did you get attracted to Carnatic music? My first interaction with Carnatic music was when I was thirteen. We all went to Madras to the home of Veenai Dhanam. I remember the steps leading up to her house. And she played Pantuvarali. She didn’t say Kamavardhani then. It had been decided that morning in the sadas. Within a few minutes I had tears in my eyes. Jayammal and Bala were of course there. Bala was going to join my brother Uday Shankar. She was eighteen then. She came to Calcutta and danced there. Rabindranath Tagore was sitting on the right side in the audience. What a performance that was. I will never forget that. Both the items. You see I got attracted to this Dhanam school, Viswa and his brother Ranganathan who played the mridangam. Whenever I went to Madras I visited them. (He remembers an elderly flute player Bala was very fond of, he said, but couldn’t recall the name). Then I started visiting the Music Academy. You are one of the few Hindustani musicians with a keen interest in Carnatic music. What sparked your interest in Carnatic music? The first thing to interest me was from the rhythmic point of view. The precision, and the way of training. The fact that everyone starts from the very basic counting, the subdivisions and detailed practice. This affected me very much. We also had it almost on the same level as long as songs of composers who lived 300 or 400 years ago.

Hindustani Music: Appreciating Its Grandeur
Hindustani Music: Appreciating its grandeur Dr. Lakshmi Sreeram Music in India comprises a wide variety: from the colourful and vibrant folk music of various regions, to the ubiquitous film music; from the more recent “Indipop” music with its “Indian Madonnas” and Colonial Cousins, to religious music both sacred and popular and, at the pinnacle of all this and mothering many of these — the classical traditions of Indian music. Indian Classical Music Among the great contributions of the Indian culture are its classical traditions of music and the unique musical phenomenon of the raga. When we speak of “classical” music of India, two traditions come to the mind — the Carnatic tradition largely practiced in Southern India and Hindustani music largely practiced in the northern parts of India. Although both traditions share common sources and concepts, history has shaped them so differently that it is not trivial for a listener of one system of music to easily appreciate the other. This article, targeting the Carnatic music listener, is about what to expect in a typical Hindustani concert, concentrating on the vocal genre of Khayal music. Hindustani Music Hindustani music comprises instrumental music and vocal music; vocal music, in turn, can be Khayal or Dhrupad — the two classical vocal forms — and the lighter, “semi classical” forms such as thumri , dadra , tappa etc. In both the Khayal and Dhrupad forms, the main artistic intent is to present a raga in a stylized way through systematic exploration of the possibilities in the raga . Dhrupad is the more ancient form, and has strict norms regarding the progress of the raga exploration.

Purandara Dasa - Poems
Classic Poetry Series Purandara Dasa - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Purandara Dasa(1484 – 1564) Purandara Dasa (Kannada: ?????? ???) (sometimes spelled as a single word) is one of the most prominent composers According to other opinions, his native town was Purandaraghatta in Karnataka, or Purandaragad near Pune, but the latter is considered a historical mistake - connecting his "pen name" (his ankita) with a location that mainly served as a military encampment in the 15th and 16th century. The only son of Varadappa Nayaka, a wealthy merchant, and Leelavati, he was named Srinivasa Nayaka, after the Lord of the Seven Hills. He received a good education in accordance with family traditions and acquired proficiency in Kannada, Sanskrit, and sacred music. At age 16 he married Saraswatibai, said by tradition to have been a pious young girl. He lost his parents at age 20, thereby inheriting his father's business of gemstones and pawning. He prospered and became known as "navakoti narayana" (abundantly rich man; owner of nine crores). According to popular belief, he was led to devote himself to musical composition by a miraculous incident which made the heretofore greedy and miserly merchant realize the worthlessness of his attachment to worldly possessions. A Brahmin man wanted to perform the sacred thread ceremony (upanayana) for his son and came to Srinivasa's wife for money. She gave him her nose ring to sell, and the man sold the nose ring to Srinivasa himself. The miserly Srinavasa lent the man his money. Meanwhile, his wife was worried about what to say to her husband, so she prayed to her favorite deity, who gave her a nose ring just like the one she had just given away.
