Deepti Bhalla Omchery (Editor) Leela Omchery (Editor)
Synopsis India can be proud of her rich heritage of music and it is beyond doubt that Indian music had its origin in the Vedas. Thought Indian classical music differs from region to region. Yet there is an underlying current of unity. Mainly two systems of music in India are highly popular. Viz., the Karnatak (Carnatic) and the Hindustani. Karnatak music is the theme of this scholarly study. In this painstaking work editors have collected the masterpieces of the great personalities of music of yesterday and today. T. Lakshmanan Pillai. Dr. (Mrs) Leela Omchery, Prof. Robindralal Roy, Prof. K.C. Varadachari, Mrs. Vasanthi Krishna Rao, Dr. (Mrs.) N. Mini are the contributors of this work who have vividly described the various aspects of music. While editing these rare articles, due care has been taken to preserve their original content and style.
