ZAKIR HUSSAIN, Tabla KUMARESH RAJAGOPALAN, Violin JAYANTHI KUMARESH, Veena in Autumn 2014, Zakir Hussain, Kumaresh Rajagopalan A ZAKIR HUSSAIN, Tabla KUMARESH RAJAGOPALAN, Violin JAYANTHI KUMARESH, Veena In Autumn 2014, Zakir Hussain, Kumaresh Rajagopalan and Jayanthi Kumaresh will tour North America offering concerts of Indian classical music. These three artists – each renowned for their own accomplishments – bring a unique contribution and influence to the collaboration. Hussain is of course a master tabla player known the world over for his dazzling and mesmerizing performances and collaborations with artists of all genres. Kumaresh R is known as one of India’s top Carnatic violinists known for his brilliant musical interpretations with numerous artists including the dynamic violin duo with his brother Ganesh. Jayanthi K is recognized as one of the world’s top performers on the veena, a plucked stringed instrument with origins to Pakistan. The veena is considered by many a celestial instrument with ties to ancient times. Goddess Saraswati, the goddess of the arts, is many times depicted playing a veena. The musical result of these three artists joining together on stage will be a brilliant virtuosic performance combining traditional Indian classical music with flavors of Carnatic music hailing specifically from southern India. ZAKIR HUSSAIN Zakir Hussain is considered one of the greatest musicians of our time. Along with his legendary father and teacher, Ustad Allarakha, he has elevated the status of his instrument, the tabla, both in India and around the world. A favorite accompanist for India’s leading classical musicians and dancers, Zakir is also widely recognized as a chief architect of the world music movement with his many historic collaborations, including Shakti, Remember Shakti, Diga, Planet Drum and his ever-changing musical feast, Masters of Percussion. In Summer 2012, Zakir was named Best Percussionist in the Downbeat Critics’ Poll. A child prodigy, Zakir began touring at the age of twelve, becoming the most acclaimed Indian musician of his generation and one of the world’s leading percussionists. He is the recipient of many honors, including a recent Grammy in the Best Contemporary World Music category for Global Drum Project with Mickey Hart, Giovanni Hidalgo and Sikiru Adepoju, Padma Bhushan from the government of India in 2002, and the 1999 National Heritage Fellowship, the United States’ most prestigious honor for a master in traditional arts. In 1992, Planet Drum, an album co-created and co-produced by Zakir, became the first recording to win a Grammy in the Best World Music category and also won the Downbeat Critics’ Poll for Best World Beat Album. Both Modern Drummer and Drum! magazines named him Best World Music Drummer and Best World Beat Percussionist, respectively, in 2007. In April, 2009, his music was showcased for four sold-out nights at Carnegie Hall’s Artist Perspective Series. Also in 2009, Zakir was named an Officer in the Order of Arts and Letters by France’s Ministry of Culture and Communication. In March 2011 the National Symphony Orchestra commissioned and presented his Concerto for Four Soloists at the Kennedy Center conducted by Christophe Eschenbach. He has contributed to innumerable recordings and has received widespread recognition as a composer for his many projects, scores and soundtracks including Little Buddha, In Custody, Vanaprastham, Mystic Masseur, Mr & Mrs. Iyer, YoYo Ma’s Silk Road Project and the acclaimed Concerto for Banjo, Bass and Tabla commissioned by the Nashville Symphony for their center’s opening gala in 2006 and co-composed with his constant colleagues, Edgar Meyer and Bela Fleck. In March, 2013, SF Jazz in San Francisco presented four nights featuring Zakir Hussain in different musical collaborations for their much-anticipated new center’s inaugural season. In Summer 2013 Zakir embarked on an extensive tour of South America with legendary Jazz pianist Herbie Hancock. Zakir will be bringing his Masters of Percussion back to the US in Spring 2014, including a performance at the world-famous Madison Square Garden. JAYANTHI KUMARESH Jayanthi has been enthralling audiences the world over with her graceful, emotive and expressive music for the last 25 years. The Statesman, a well acclaimed daily quotes that Jayanthi is “The best and most versatile Veena artiste we have today.” Born into a family where music has been the mainstay for the last seven generations, Jayanthi started playing the Veena when she was barely 3. Winning her way through several laurels and awards right from her childhood, Jayanthi was soon one of the youngest artistes in Veena to receive A-TOP grading from All India Radio (the highest grade offered by the only grading body in India). In recognition of her artistry, the Government of Tamilnadu has honoured her with the title of Kalaimamani. She has also been the recipient of prestigious awards like the Best Main Musician, Best Veena concert of the year, Sathyashree, Veena Nada Mani and the like. Jayanthi has been invited by prestigious organisations across the world like Theatre de la Ville in Paris, the UN and World Music Centre in New York, Music Guimet in Paris, Woodstock in the United States, Indo-German Societies, the Indian embassy at Sharjah and several such platforms to represent the National instrument of India – the Saraswathi Veena. Apart from solo performances, Jayanthi has performed several jugalbandhis and has also collaborated with musicians from other types of music in her own World music band called Indian Spice. As a composer, Jayanthi has scored music for a host of dance productions and musicals that have premiered in India and abroad, including Krishna Bhakthi, Abbakarani and Jagadguru Adi Shankaracharya. She has also composed for the National South Asian Youth orchestra of the UK. The Indian National Orchestra is Jayanthi’s brainchild – a first-of-its-kind organization that showcases the best musical talent from around the country, the INO strives to promote musical unity in cultural diversity, comprehensively represent India’s vast and varied musical heritage and bring together prominent musicians to perform in one voice and with one purpose. Jayanthi is the disciple of her maternal aunt Smt. Padmavathy Ananthagopalan and Veena Maestro Dr.S.Balachander. Her maternal uncle, the Violin Legend Lalgudi Sri. Jayaraman is a great influence and inspiration for her. Jayanthi has recorded several CDs for companies all over the world like Times Music, Music Today, Sense World, Earthsync, Navras, Home Records etc. She recently came out with an album called ‘Mysterious Duality’ in which for the first time one artiste and one instrument have created an orchestral effect. This album focuses on the multi-dimensional persona of the self. Mysterious duality is her tribute to the most majestic instrument that India has contributed to the world – the Veena. She has been a part of national and international music ensembles and jugalbandhis with musicians from India and abroad. Her boundless creativity finds expression in a multitude of ways. She has conceptualized, composed and produced the music for many dance ballets and musicals and is the Managing Director of a Bangalore based Music company called ‘Home Records’ that endeavours to encourage and spread ecological awareness through expressions of experiments in interpretations of the dynamic aspects of Indian music and its related performing arts. Jayanthi was awarded a Doctorate by the University of Mysore for her work on the subject “Analytical Study of Different Banis and Playing techniques of the Saraswathi Veena“. Jayanthi has evolved her own identity and style by making the Veena her voice in expressing many a new musical thought to the audiences across the globe. She has today made the Veena the focal point of musical essence and experience. .

  • Classification of Indian Musical Instruments with the General
    Classification of Indian Musical Instruments With the general background and perspective of the entire field of Indian Instrumental Music as explained in previous chapters, this study will now proceed towards a brief description of Indian Musical Instruments. Musical Instruments of all kinds and categories were invented by the exponents of the different times and places, but for the technical purposes a systematic-classification of these instruments was deemed necessary from the ancient time. The classification prevalent those days was formulated in India at least two thousands years ago. The first reference is in the Natyashastra of Bharata. He classified them as ‘Ghana Vadya’, ‘Avanaddha Vadya’, ‘Sushira Vadya’ and ‘Tata Vadya’.1 Bharata used word ‘Atodhya Vadya’ for musical instruments. The term Atodhya is explained earlier than in Amarkosa and Bharata might have adopted it. References: Some references with respect to classification of Indian Musical Instruments are listed below: 1. Bharata refers Musical Instrument as ‘Atodhya Vadya’. Vishnudharmotta Purana describes Atodhya (Ch. XIX) of four types – Tata, Avnaddha, Ghana and Sushira. Later, the term ‘Vitata’ began to be used by some writers in place of Avnaddha. 2. According to Sangita Damodara, Tata Vadyas are favorite of the God, Sushira Vadyas favourite of the Gandharvas, whereas Avnaddha Vadyas of the Rakshasas, while Ghana Vadyas are played by Kinnars. 3. Bharata, Sarangdeva (Ch. VI) and others have classified the musical instruments under four heads: 1 Fundamentals of Indian Music, Dr. Swatantra Sharma , p-86 53 i. Tata (String Instruments) ii. Avanaddha (Instruments covered with membrane) iii. Sushira (Wind Instruments) iv. Ghana (Solid, or the Musical Instruments which are stuck against one another, such as Cymbals).

  • The Mathematics Behind Playing Hindustani Classical Stringed Musical Instruments
    International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR) ISSN: 2319-7064 ResearchGate Impact Factor (2018): 0.28 | SJIF (2019): 7.583 The Mathematics behind Playing Hindustani Classical Stringed Musical Instruments Soham Dasgupta Ex. PGT Math Teacher at Kendriya Vidyalay Ordnance Factory Dum Dum (Kolkata), India The Hindustani classical stringed musical instruments are K = [ni,Sa]. Afterwards let's define a set Ω, generally in the not only melodious but also designed scientifically along language of Indian music this set is called 'Chalan' of a with its playing methods. Here we will study only the particular raga. Ω is nothing but the collection of all the mathematical significance of plying a particular raaga in basic nodes of the raga along with the unions of its basic any Indian classical stringed instrument like Veena, Sitar, Mirs. In this present case of raag Malkuns Sarod, Santoor, Violin (Indian style), Sarengi, Esraj etc. All these instruments are structurally different indeed but the Ω = X ∪ < I, J,K > ;where very fundamental way and technique of playing a particular < I, J,K > = {I,J,K,I∪J,J∪K,I∪K,I∪J∪K} raga in each of them are similar. So without losing any interest let's see what's inside. Without loss of generality Ω should also be an ordered set like X. We know that any Indian classical stringed instrument has just two very basic strokes and they are 'Da' and 'Ra'. Now any function f : {0,1} → Ω (Somebody says 'De' and 'Reh' also) is called 'play' or 'Baz'. Now the definition of playing a raga For example in Sarod or Sitar hitting a particular string by is nothing but the set of all such play functions that is ℒ = { 'Jawa' or 'Mizrab' from up to downwards is called 'Da' fᵢ ∣ fᵢ : {0,1} → Ω}.

  • Recitation of Sacred Buddhist Texts in the Trans-Himalayan Ladakh
    IGNCA INVENTORY ON THE INTANGIBLE CULTURAL HERITAGE Edited and Maintained by Prof. Molly Kaushal Janapada Sampada Division IGNCA Name of the Element: Veena and its Music Community/ies: The main communities and individuals upholding the Veena tradition in North India belong to Jaipur Beenkar School, Dagar School, Bande Ali Khan School, Abdul Aziz Khan School, Lalmani Mishra Style and also some other individual styles. In Southern Indian performing communities of Veena the Tanjaur School, Mysore School and Andhra School are prevalent. These schools have their sub-stylistic characteristics interspersed with individual aesthetic and creative expressions. Region: Veena playing is prevalent in the entire India from North to South and from East to West. Brief Description: The oldest musical instrument of India, the Veena, symbolizes the Indian ethos throughout the country and has sociological and cultural connotations. Saraswati, the Goddess of learning, is visualized as Veenapani, the wielder of a Veena. Veena, regarded as the precursor of all Indian string instruments, has been instrumental in standardizing many fundamental laws of music. Continuity of tradition is evident since the instruments like Sitar, Sarod, Guitar, Mandolin etc. have borrowed and imbibed various technical and physical aspects, from the Veena thereby enriching their instruments and repertoire. Veena, a generic term earlier, today denotes Rudra Veena, Tanjauri Veena, Vichitra Veena and Gottuvadyam. It has two distinct playing traditions namely Hindustani and Karnatic. Bifacial drums - Pakhawaj and Mridangam - are used in these traditions respectively. Art of crafting this instrument is equally important and duly discussed in ancient texts. Crafting is a challenging task needing experience and skill.
