S. Parthasarathy THE 61st MADRAS MUSIC CONFERENCE OFFICIAL REPORT THE OPENING DAY 18—12—1987 The 61st Annual Conference of the Music Academy, Madras, was held at the T. T. Krishnamachari Auditorium in the premises of the Academy, 306, Tr T*. K. Road, Madras-600 014 from the 18th December 1987 to 4th January 1988 with a break of three days in the middle from 24—12—1987 to 26—12—1987 due to the sad demise of Dr. M. G. Ramachandran, Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. The Conference was inaugurated by Sangita Kalanidhi Dr. M. S. Subbulakshmi on 18—12—1987. The inaugural function began with the singing of prayer by Smt. Malathi Janardhanan and Kum. Girija. MESSAGES Sri S. Natarajan, Secretary of the Academy, read messages received for the success of the Conference. The President of the Academy, Sri T. T. Vasu, welcomed the distinguished guests, members of the Academy and the public. In his address, Sri Vasu said : "Sangita Kalanidhi Dr. M.S. Subbulakshmi, Vidwan B. Rajam Iyer, Members of the Academy and the Experts Committee, dist­ inguished invitees, Vidwans and Vidushis, ladies and gentlemen : With great pleasure I extend to all of you a warm welcome to the inauguration of the 61st Conference of the Academy and the concerts that have been arranged from this evening onwards. At the outset, I extend a hearty welcome to Dr. Subbulakshmi who was gracious enough to accede to our request to inaugurate this Conference. As you are all aware, we made a major and significant departure from our usual procedure for the inauguration of our Conferences from last year. We decided to invite veteran 2 THE JOURNAL OF THE MADRAS MUSIC ACADEMY [Vol. L1X musicians to inaugurate our Conferences and last year, which marked our 60th Conference, the obvious choice was Sangita Kalanidhi Dr. Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer, the doyen among our musicians who is connected with this Academy since its inception in 1927. Following the new practice, we could not, for this year, think of a better choice than Dr. Subbulakshmi, one of the out­ standing figures in the sphere of music in the post-independence India, who is closely associated with our Academy for many decades. It is needless for me to elaborate on her unquestioned supremacy in the music field and her eminence which cuts across geographical boundaries. Her attainments, her passionate pursuit of artistic excellence, her efforts to retrieve and revitalize classical Carnatic music, her magnanimous use of her talents for national, public and humanitarian causes and her services to strengthen the bhakti marga through music are too well-known to need recapitu­ lation here. We thank her for the enormous interest taken by her in the progress of this Academy and her memorable recital on the 14th of last month which gave us a sizeable income. Dr. M.S. Subbulakshmi gave her first recital at this Academy in 1935 when she was 19 years of age, a rare honour in those days for a young artiste. Since then she has performed on 33 occasions, the last performance being her rapturous recital on November 14, already mentioned by me. She presided over our 42nd Annual Conference in 1968 and received the title of Sangita Kalanidhi. It was the first time in the annals of this Academy that a lady artiste was chosen to preside over our Conference. MS presided over the Sadas of the 58th Conference on 1 st January 1985 and this year we have the privilege of her inaugurating our 61 st Conference. As a token of our regard and gratitude to her for this long and fruitful connection with this Academy, we have brought out a short memoir which furnishes full details of her unique career as a musician, rare photographs taken with many celebrities of the world and a list of over 200 concerts given by her for charitable purposes. The souvenir will be on sale at our book stall for a nominal price of fifteen rupees. THE 61ST MADRAS MUSIC CONFERENCE 3 I extend to Vidwan B. Rajam Iyer, the President-elect of this Conference, a warm and hearty welcome. Sri Rajam Iyer is one of the most respected among the vocalists in Carnatic music with an impeccable record of adherence to tradition and maintenance of the highest standards in the practice of the art. He is one of the torch-bearers of the glorious style of his Guru, Ariyakudi Ramanuja Iyengar, who was known as the 'complete musician' during his life time. Iyengar evolved a concert pattern of shorter duration but packed all the elements of traditional musical offerings into his new format. Sri Rajafn.lyer has an enviable record as a perfor­ mer, teacher and musicologist and has been rendering Yeoman service to this Academy as a member of our Experts Committee and as our collaborator in the preparation of a Tamil edition of the Sangita Samoradaya Pradarsini. He is presently the Principal of our Teachers College of Music and continues his close association with us in our activities. We look forward to his able guidance in the discussions and demonstrations during our morning sessions of this Conference. I am very happy to announce that Pandit Ravi Shankar, the most widely known Indian artiste, has not only agreed to give a Sitar recital on January 2nd, after a gap of many years, but has also agreed to preside over our Sadas on January 3. This is a matter of great prestige to this Academy because Panditji is one of our most versatile instrumentalists who has taken our music to the farthest corners of the globe and has popularised it in many coun­ tries of the world. He is perhaps the first among Indian musicians to treat Carnatic ragas in the North Indian style and his participa­ tion in our festival this year is an epoch-making event. So far as our mid-year activities are concerned, 1987 was a most memorable year. In Association with the International Dance Alliance Limited, we celebrated the International Dance Week on on the 19th and 20th January 1987, as a tribute to Smt. Rukmini Devi, in which 15 prominent dance artistes of Madras performe^ on the stage. During the same month, the Department of Cultu­ ral Affairs of the Government of Uttar Pradesh arranged a series 4 THE JOURNAL OF THE MADRAS MUSIC ACADEMY [Vol. LIX of culural programmes at this auditorium in which renowned artistes Jike Ustad Bismiiiah Khan, Smt N. Rajam, Smt. Girija. Devi and Sri Birju Maharaj took part. Admission to the perfor­ mances was by invitation and a large number of connoisseurs attended these perfomances. Another matter of joy for all of us is that our Academy earned the prestigious honour being selected for the 'best cultural org­ anisation award ' by the Tamil Nadu Eyal, Isai, Nataka Manram. At a function presided over by Tamil Nadu Governor, Shri S. L Khurana, I, on behalf of the Academy, received the shield on 26th January from Dr. M. G. Ramachandran, Chief Minister. Thanks to a munificent endowment made by Shri Obul Reddy for the celebration of the Tyagaraja Day, the Saint's Aradhana was celebrated in the Academy on February 1, 1987. In the morning there was Veda Parayanam followed by the singing of the Pancha Ratna Kritis of Tyagaraja by more than fifty vidwans. In the evening there were music recitals by Dr. Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer and Vidwan K. V. Narayanaswamy. The Syama Sastri Day was celebrated by the Academy on April 24 when Vidwan Maharajapuram Santhanam gave a recital of kritis of Sastri. The Kasturi Srinivasan Hall was packed to capa­ city and Shri Santhanam gave a moving performance.

  • IME Annual Report 2020-2021 Low Size
    Supported by Annual Report 2020-2021 Only in the darkness can “ you see the stars. ― Martin Luther King “ Namaste We have collectively endured one of the defining experiences of our life and times. What started off as a pause in the hustle and bustle of daily life has now become a happening that will forever define the way we see the world. Many of us experienced loss – of loved ones, of time, of precious moments, and of a sense of normalcy. There were days when I questioned everything, and felt the meaninglessness of it all. At the same time, I realized that the future is built one day at a time, by the seemingly small actions we take each day; that, as Martin Luther King said, everything that is done in the world is done by hope. And so, we see ourselves looking back at a most strange year, but one that I am glad to report has been extremely productive for the Indian Music Experience Museum, in our mission to build community through music. The team at IME seamlessly adapted to the online world. We ensured the continuity of music education at the Learning Centre. We unveiled two new online exhibits through an important partnership with Google Art and Culture. Our work in preserving musical traditions achieved an important milestone through the creation of an online archive on the life and works of legendary violinist and composer, Mysore T. Chowdiah, in collaboration with the Shankar Mahadevan Academy. We presented a wide variety of talks, discussions, workshops, showcases, and exhibit walkthroughs online, growing our audience beyond the geographic limitations of in-person events.

  • 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.

  • Analyzing the Melodic Structure of a Raga-Based Song
    Georgian Electronic Scientific Journal: Musicology and Cultural Science 2009 | No.2(4) A Statistical Analysis Of A Raga-Based Song Soubhik Chakraborty1*, Ripunjai Kumar Shukla2, Kolla Krishnapriya3, Loveleen4, Shivee Chauhan5, Mona Kumari6, Sandeep Singh Solanki7 1, 2Department of Applied Mathematics, BIT Mesra, Ranchi-835215, India 3-7Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, BIT Mesra, Ranchi-835215, India * email: [email protected] Abstract The origins of Indian classical music lie in the cultural and spiritual values of India and go back to the Vedic Age. The art of music was, and still is, regarded as both holy and heavenly giving not only aesthetic pleasure but also inducing a joyful religious discipline. Emotion and devotion are the essential characteristics of Indian music from the aesthetic side. From the technical perspective, we talk about melody and rhythm. A raga, the nucleus of Indian classical music, may be defined as a melodic structure with fixed notes and a set of rules characterizing a certain mood conveyed by performance.. The strength of raga-based songs, although they generally do not quite maintain the raga correctly, in promoting Indian classical music among laymen cannot be thrown away. The present paper analyzes an old and popular playback song based on the raga Bhairavi using a statistical approach, thereby extending our previous work from pure classical music to a semi-classical paradigm. The analysis consists of forming melody groups of notes and measuring the significance of these groups and segments, analysis of lengths of melody groups, comparing melody groups over similarity etc. Finally, the paper raises the question “What % of a raga is contained in a song?” as an open research problem demanding an in-depth statistical investigation.
