Indian ragas & medieval song, (sound recording)

Resource Information

The item Indian ragas & medieval song, (sound recording) represents a specific, individual, material embodiment of a distinct intellectual or artistic creation found in Randwick City Library.
This item is available to borrow from 1 library branch.

Summary: This recording offers a rare opportunity to experience two different musical traditions in dialogue: the reconstructed musical culture of the European Middle Ages, and the ancient but still continuous tradition of North Indian classical music ? two worlds that are indeed separated with respect to time and geography, and yet still linked by common characteristic features. The classical tradition of North Indian music is marked both by a strong adherence to its own origins and an openness to influences from other cultures. On the other hand, European art music of the Middle Ages, seemingly far removed and accessible only by means of written documents, has clearly recognizable roots in Eastern traditions
