    This article has been made available to SAWF by Dr. Veena Nayak. Dr. Nayak has translated it from the original Marathi article written by Ramkrishna Baakre. From: Veena Nayak Subject: Dr. Vasantrao Deshpande - Part Two (Long!) Newsgroups: rec.music.indian.classical, rec.music.indian.misc Date: 2000/03/12 Presenting the second in a three-part series on this vocalist par excellence. It has been translated from a Marathi article by Ramkrishna Baakre. Baakre is also the author of 'Buzurg', a compilation of sketches of some of the grand old masters of music. In Part One, we got a glimpse of Vasantrao's childhood years and his early musical training. The article below takes up from the point where the first one ended (although there is some overlap). It discusses his influences and associations, his musical career and more importantly, reveals the generous and graceful spirit that lay behind the talent. The original article is rather desultory. I have, therefore, taken editorial liberties in the translation and rearranged some parts to smoothen the flow of ideas. I am very grateful to Aruna Donde and Ajay Nerurkar for their invaluable suggestions and corrections. Veena THE MUSICAL 'BRAHMAKAMAL' - Ramkrishna Baakre (translated by Dr. Veena Nayak) It was 1941. Despite the onset of November, winter had not made even a passing visit to Pune. In fact, during the evenings, one got the impression of a lazy October still lingering around. Pune has been described in many ways by many people, but to me it is the city of people with the habit of going for strolls in the morning and evening.

Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin December 2008 Acknowledgements I would like to briefly thank a few individuals for making this project possible. The first are my parents, Tom and Kay Grimes, who have supported me emotionally and, as necessary, financially through the dissertation writing process (and earlier, as well). Next, I would like to thank my mentor and dissertation supervisor Dr. Stephen M. Slawek. All that I know of Indian music (even the things he didn’t teach me directly) is due to him, both as my academic adviser and as my long-time sitar Guru. Especially crucial for the current project, though, has been his unwavering moral and intellectual support. Dr. Slawek encouraged me from day one to pursue the work I wanted to pursue, and I cannot be more grateful for this. All of his advisees that he has shepherded through the process of writing a report or dissertation, I am sure, would say the same.

  • Chapter V Agra Gharana & Areas of Impact
    Chapter V Agra gharana & areas of Impact This chapter takes critical stock of the impacts of Agra Gharana on the major areas other than its main impact on Indian classical music scenes described in earlier chapter. The research carried out in this regard and detailed out in the chapter clearly indicates that the Marathi Stage Music and earlier Indian Film Music were the two major areas of impacts of Agra Gharana. In Bengal, the Nazrul geeti and Raga Pradhan had an impact of Agra gharana music and musicians. Marathi Stage Music (which got developed as a semi classical form during the period 1910 to 1935) and Indian Film Music (which made beginning in 1931 with the release of first Indian Talkie Alamaara) both these new forms of creative expressions got developed with the immense and pioneering contribution from the singers, music directors, music teachers of Agra Gharana and the Agra Gharana itself. This chapter enumerates and explains contribution of the Agra Gharana through the singers, music directors and the music teachers. Before going through impact of Agra Gharana on major areas like Marathi Stage Music and Indian Film Music it will be important to dwell upon a question like - why Agra Gharana was found more suitable for these two new forms of creative expression? To answer this question one needs to look in to characteristics of art form of drama/film and Nazrul geeti and characteristics of Agra Gharana as follows – Defining the essential nature of Drama, Bharata has made the following statement in the Natyashastra: Natya is a representational statement (anukirtana) of the emotional states of this entire triple world.

  • Susheela Misra
    Vasantrao Deshpande :A Tribute Susheela Misra VASANTRAO DESHPANDE had given a memorable concert on 12 April 1981 before a large audience of music-lovers in Lucknow under the auspices of the Uttar Dakshin Cultural Organisation; The same evening a dinner wasgiven in his honour; in the course of a long in­ terview, he assured us: "Very soon, I am coming back to Lucknow for a long stay as I want to do research on a subject that has been intriguing me for quite some time. Lucknow used to be such a rich and fertile centre of classical music and this city produced such a large number of great artistes. Why did they start the great migration to other places like Gwalior, Alwar, Rewa, etc .?" However, .before Vasantrao could keep up this tryst with Lucknow, he had a severe coronary attack and had to take complete rest for many weeks. A leading newspaper of Bombay committed e faux paus by announcing his death in July 1981, long before his actual death, causing great anguish to his innumerable fans all over the country. 1 dared not try to find out his reaction to this little obituary of his, if he did find the time to see it in the midst of his busy schedule of concerts in Delhi, Nagpur, etc. Perhaps he smiled and remarked: "The news is slightly exaggerated", or "I am sorry I cannot oblige the esteemed newspaper until I have fulfilled all the concert engagements that I have accepted". He lived long enough to receive the prestigious Sangeet Natak Akademi Award-in 1983.

  • Detailed Study and Analysis of Some Gwalior Gharana Vocalists from the 20Th Century CHAPTER IV
    Chapter IV Detailed Study and Analysis of some Gwalior Gharana Vocalists from the 20th Century CHAPTER IV Detailed Study and Analysis of some Gwalior Gharana Vocalists from the 20th Century In the previous chapter, I have enumerated the salient features of the Gwalior gharana with special emphasis on the strong points pertaining to each feature. We will now look into the gayaki of some Gwalior gharana vocalists. Gwalior gharana practitioners are trained on the basis of the salient features of their core gharana. There are certain aspects in their gayaki which accord them the status of being a member of the gharana. But each has interpreted and evolved an individual gayaki to the best of their ability. It is this individualism that lends diversity within the gharana. The individual gayaki is due to the difference in the treatment of the core features of the gharana. The thrust of my work has been to study this individualism in seven vocalists belonging to the Gwalior gharana.1 Rehmat Khan was the son of Haddu Khan and an illustrious representative of the founding family of the Gwalior gharana. The study of his gayaki also acquires greater significance since after Rehmat Khan’s generation, the Gwalior gayaki was dissipated and propagated principally by the disciples of Haddu Khan, Hassu Khan and Natthu Khan. His influence on other vocalists was felt not only amongst later practitioners of the Gwalior gharana like Omkarnath Thakur, Sharad Chandra Arolkar and Gajananbua Joshi but also on Kirana gharana exponent Abdul Karim Khan and many others. 1 The need to select a finite number of vocalists for analysis purpose is to maintain the focus of this study.
