Music Contexts: A Concise Dictionary of Hindustani Music
The rich and complex musico-cultural profile of durable and varied cultural traditions is the subject matter of this book. Combining two approaches of presenting source material, namely, the thesaurus and dictionary approaches, the author seeks to provide larger contexts with factual information and meanings. Through three hundred entries grouped in three main sections and six subsections, this is an attempt to deal with etymological, historical, musicological and cultural aspects of Hindustani music.
