  • “I Cannot Live Without Music”
    INTERVIEW “I cannot live without music” Swati Tirunal was undoubtedly one of the most important modern composers, one who included Hindustani styles in his compositions. Nowadays it has become fashionable to say you must avoid Hindustani in Carnatic music or the other way around. But looking back, Bhimsen Joshi was among those south Indians who became luminaries in the north Indian style. How many south Indians are really open to Hindustani music is debatable. The late M.S. Gopalakrishnan was very competent in the Hindustani field, and my colleague Sanjay Subrahmanyan is a Carnatic musician open to Hindustani ragas – he sings a Rama Varma at the Swarasadhana workshop focussing on Swati Tirunal’s compositions pallavi in Bagesree, for instance. Then again there are ‘fundamentalist’ groups Well known Carnatic vocalist Rama Varma was in Chennai recently to who think Behag, Sindhubhairavi, conduct a two-day workshop (9 and 10 February 2013) Swarasadhana, Yamunakalyani, Sivaranjani and their at the Satyananda Yoga Centre at Triplicane. Here he speaks of the event, ilk should be totally done away with. his journey in classical music and his thoughts on the changing trends of the art form. Rama Varma How did Swarasadhana happen? in conversation with I have been teaching in a village called Perla near Mangalore for the past M. Ramakrishnan four years, at a music school called Veenavadini, run by the musician Yogeesh Sharma. He invites musicians to visit there once a year. Four years ago Veenavadini invited me. They enjoyed my teaching and Do you follow the same style of teaching I enjoyed being there too, and my visits became regular.

The Universe an expression of geometry perfect. All that is misaligned will perish without reaching fullness. It is in alignment with all that is, that this Being can Blossom to the fullest. Blossoming of an individual too happens quietly, gently unannounced without din or drama like all things of Significance. Grace & Blessings EDITORIAL Dear Readers, The second International Day of Yoga (21 June) is fast approaching. In the article “What Does It Mean to Be a Yogi?”, Sadhguru gets to the core of the matter. “Do What You Care For” includes Sadhguru’s advice to a seeker who wants to dedicate himself to the spiritual path but at the same time is afraid of falling off at some point. On a related note, i.e. intensifying one’s spiritual quest, Sadhguru speaks about self-protection and a Guru’s role in the short article “Tearing Down the Walls.” In this month’s In Conversation article, “Of the Ultimate and Immediate,” moderator Chandrika Tandon throws quick questions at Sadhguru and Deepak Chopra that span from how they would use 10 billion dollars, to their definition of success, to the ongoing migrant crisis. A period of profound sadhana and exuberant celebration lies behind us. It began with the silent intensity of Samyama, as described by Sadhguru in an excerpt of his Spot “Of Pain and Ecstasy,” amplified with the subtle expressions of Indian classical music and dance during “Yaksha 2016,” and ultimately climaxed in the power, depth, and fire of “Mahashivaratri 2016.” We bring you memorable moments of these events in pictures.

(il) FOREWORD Apart from laying the foundations of demography in this sub-continent, a hundred years of the Indian Census has also produced 'elaborate and scholarly accounts of the variegated phenomena of Indian life-sometimes with no statistics attached, but usually with just enough statistics to give empirical under-pinning to their conclusions'. In a country, largely illiterate, where statistical or numerical comprehension of even such a simple thing as age was liable to be inaccurate, as understanding of the social structure was essential. It was more necessary to attain a broad under­ standing of what was happening around oneself than to wrap oneself up in 'statistical ing0l1uity' or 'mathematical manipulation'. This explains why the Indian Census came to be interested in 'many by paths' and 'nearly every branch of scholarship, from anthropology and sociology to geography and religion'. In the last few decades the Census has increasingly turned its efforts to the presentation of villag<: statistics.

  • AAWM Conference on Analytical Approaches to World Music, 8-11 June @ New School, New York
    AAWM Conference on Analytical Approaches to World Music, 8-11 June @ New School, New York Two-Voice Frameworks and the Harmonization of Indian Ragas (In the context of Melharmony) Robert Morris Eastman School of Music, University of Rochester [email protected] For some time now, both Indian and non-Indian composers and performers have harmonized Indian ragas with chords from western music in genres from Indian cinema music to improvised “fusion” or “world beat.” More recently, both Carnatic and Hindustani musicians have begun to harmonize traditional and classical compositions and implement forms of harmony in improvisation. Chitravina N Ravikiran, a well-known Carnatic musician-composer, has refined and extended the scope of such ventures with his concept of melharmony (www.melharmonymusic.com) that considers how the melodic and harmonic grammars of different musics may effectively and aesthetically interact; for instance, how harmonic treatment may support but not interfere with the melodic aspects of a music. In 2006, Robert Morris and Ravikiran published a paper that surveys some of the technical possibilities of melharmony in Carnatic music. The present paper develops these possibilities by studying the properties of Indian and other scales that permit the construction of two-voice polyphonic frameworks. Similar frameworks, often called schemata, have been used in western common practice music as well as jazz to provide a polyphonic base for the harmonization of melodic lines; our two-voice frameworks can similarly function to enable the harmonization of melodies based on different ragas.1 Ragas are complex, context-sensitive pitch-systems that are best described as various networks of notes.2 An important raga attribute is its underlying scale.

  • Muthuswami Dikshitar
    MUTHUSWAMI DIKSHITAR N.S. Ramachandran The impact of Sri Muthuswami Dikshitar (1775-] 835) on Karnatak music today is as strong as it was during his life time. Dikshitar, as he is popularly called, Sri Tyagaraja (1767-]847) and Sri Syama Sastri (1762­ 1827)are the three great composers known as the Trinity of Karnatak music. After the heyday of the Vijayanagara empire, Tanjore became a leading centre for the patronage of art and literature under the Naik rulers (1570­ ]673) and the Maratha Kings (1676-1855). Music flourished in this kingdom and attained unparalleled heights of achievement during the period extend­ ing approximately from 1750-1850 A.D. covering the Jives of the three big composers within its span. The works of these masters, which exerted a profound influence on the form and content ofKarnatak music, were based on the Seventytwo melakarta system and hence it would be appropriate to consider them from this standopoint. And for a correct understanding and precise evaluation of the contribution made by Dikshitar, it is necessary to study his kritis, not in isolation, but in relation to the basic aspects of the COlppositions of the Trinity as a whole, viewed in the proper prospective of the evolution of the music of the South from the mediaeval to the modern era. The method of classifying melas and their derivative ragas may be traced to Sri Vidyaranya (1320-1380) who mentions 15 scales and 50janyas in his Sangita Sara. From his time the music of the South may be said to assume a homogeneous character and develop along well-defined Jines.
