Description

The first part of the book traces the history of Indian music and the continuity of its theory and practice for more than two thousand years. It is based on many years' research into the vast ancient Sanskrit literature of music. These valuable technical treatises, which lie in the form of scarcely catalogued manuscripts throughout the public and private libraries of India, had hitherto remained unemplored. Part Two transcribes and studies in detail 50 typical Raga-s. Each is preceded by a Sanskrit poem in translation which depicts the atmosphere; then follows an analysis of the scale, covering its intervals and expression, a study of the theme with its characteristic motives and finally a typical development. The present work is based on the author's two-volume Northern Indian Music published in London (but not America) some ten years ago, but long out of print and much sought after by students. It was described by Colin Mason in the Manchester Guardian as "of immense value to any practical musician" and "an invaluable addition to the very scanty literature of fascinating and neglected subject". This new version contains a number of additional Raga-s; the earlier text has been extensively revised and many music examples redrawn for greater clarity and accuracy. Some abridgement has taken place, but only of material which appeared originally for the benefit of Indian readers unfamiliar with Western staff notation, those able to read Sanskrit, and specialists in Sanskrit literature. The book provides modern composers outside India with a source of new inspiration and enables practising musicians to play and study some of the endlessly variegated modes for which Indian music is unique.

"The Raghuvamsa sings of the great solar race of Iksvaku in which Visnu was pleased to become incarnate as Rama, that he might destroy the demon Ravana and free the gods and men from his tyranny. This supremacy he had won through the favour of Brahman whom he had won over by his austerities. When, therefore, his yoke had become too hard to bear, when the gods themselves were enslaved or banished, they went to Visnu and sought his help. This the God readily agreed to do by becoming incarnate as Rama, Dasarathaís son; for the overweening demon, when he prayed to Brahman to be made invulnerable, had omitted to secure himself against mere human foes.

This story of the Ramayana forms the central theme of our poem. The first nine cantos trace the fortunes of Ramaís four immediate predecessors, cantos X to XV the story of Rama himself, his wonderful birth, his noble youth and manhood, his marriage with Sita, the latterís abduction by Ravana, Ramaís victory over Ravana and his happy reign, and the touching narrative of the bandon- ment of Sita upto the very end as we have it in the Ramayana; and cantos XVI to XIX carry on the tale of the kings who came after Rama to a sad decline in Agnivarna, ""a worthless libertine whose excesses had the merit of hastening his death."" His widowed queen who was pregnant ascends the throne as regent in behalf of her unborn son, and the poem as we have it abruptly ends on this note of hope."
