From the Desk of the Vice Chancellor

phd in indian classical music

Professor S.Gowri, B.E (TCE,MKU)., M.Tech (IITM)., Ph.D(IITM).

Vice-chancellor.

As the Vice Chancellor of this premier university, I am extremely pleased to share this space to converse with all of you. The University of Madras is a post- sesquicentennial institution which has forged a glorious path for itself and has been the site for significant scientific discoveries as well as the beacon for national and regional societal transformation. It has successfully managed to hold aloft its tradition even while keeping up with the emerging trends. One reason for this is the way in which the university has kept alive its interactions with all the stakeholders.

The COVID 19 pandemic has introduced a ‘new normal’ and its impact is felt in the workings of the university as well. The students have been attending the lectures online. While online learning has the advantage of being anytime and anywhere, it has taken away the peer group interaction and peer learning which are integral aspects of the university experience. We look forward to welcoming you to the campus very soon. Meanwhile, our faculty and administration will continue to bring the best to the virtual classrooms. As students, you need to view the restrictions posed by the pandemic as a temporary deterrent. Your focus should be to gain the competencies to conduct application oriented research in order to evolve as useful citizens of our society.

Our university boasts of faculty with a high degree of knowledge and commitment to offer the best in teaching and research. Given the context of the pandemic, we need to redefine our teaching-learning processes to offer the best pedagogic experience to our students. Similarly, the post-pandemic era demands that we hone the employment potential and entrepreneurial capacity of our learners. This necessitates that we focus on sponsored research in cutting edge areas.

Our administrative staff have been the backbone of the university. While we move towards a transparent and complete e-governance model, we need more support from you. When the teaching-learning process at our university – from admission to certification -- is moving into the digital era, your skills and competencies need to keep pace.

At our university, we are gearing up for the final round of NAAC re-accreditation. This has offered us an opportunity to assess our Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Challenges. Further, it has made us more determined to reiterate our quality benchmarks in teaching, research and extension activities. We are aware of this responsibility and fully prepared for it because, our university has always encouraged individual thinking within the established frameworks. This is echoed in the words of Tim Burners Lee, who initiated the World Wide Web: “We are forming cells within a global brain and we are excited that we might start to think collectively. What becomes of us still hangs crucially on how we think individually.” Let us unite to make the educational experience at the University of Madras a synergy of the best minds and best thoughts.

The University of Mumbai is one of the oldest and first Universities founded in India in 1857 which has distinguished history of exemplary achievements in various streams of education and training and has significantly contributed towards the nation building and continues to do so.

The history of the education of performing arts of Music and Dance in Universities in India is not very old. Great musicians, musicologists, reformers who pioneered the modern trends in music performance and education from 19th century were Pandit Vishnu Digambar Paluskar and Pandit Vishnu Narayan Bhatkhande. Both these stalwarts research and restructured music education on modern scientific lines and established leading music institutions to impart training on these lines.

Independence in 1947 brought renewed awareness of our cultural traditions and subjects of Indian Culture began getting included for study at various stages of excellence in the University curricula. The study of music – its education and performance started in the University of Bombay in1969. The Music Centre was established in this year and a two year Diploma Course in Hindustani Vocal Classical Music was started. From the very beginning the effort and the emphasis of the course taught here has been on the performing excellence. With this objective in view the leading performers of different schools or traditions in vocal music called “Gharanas” have been invited on the faculty of the Music Centre to impart training and performance skills to aspiring and promising students of music. The teaching methods and pattern here are based on the age-old and time tested “Guru Shishya Parampara”.

In 1978, the Music Centre in the University of Bombay was converted into the regular Department of Music and a three-year Degree Course in vocal music – Bachelor of Fine Arts (Music Vocal) was added to existing two year Diploma Course in Music H.V.C. In 1985, two year Diploma Course in Music Hindustani Instrumental Classical – Sitar and Hindustani Vocal Light were started. In 1988 two-year Diploma Course in Music Hindustani Instrumental Classical – Tabla and in 1989 two-year Post-graduate Course in Vocal Music – Master of Fine Arts (Music Vocal) were started in the Department of Music. Three Year Degree Courses (B.F.A.) in Hindustani Instrumental Classical – Sitar and Tabla were started in 1991. The Faculty in the Department of Music consists of Reader and Lecturer in Vocal Music, posts of Honorary Music Instructors on which leading and renowned performers belonging to various traditions have been appointed. Apart from this regular staff on Faculty, many renowned scholars, experts, music performers are invited as Visiting Lecturers to give lecturers, demonstrations and exhibit performance excellence and teach theory syllabus to the students of the Department.

The interdisciplinary studies like Music and Psychology, Sociology, Philosophy and Religion along with the study of music Aesthetics, Music and Education, Research Methodology have been introduced at the M.Mus. level. The aim is to broaden the perspective of the students towards the study of music in relation to other related subjects. It must be noted here that all along these courses the central focus of all attention and related studies is on developing the ability for the good performance of music. The collective endeavour of all theory and practical study topics is to enrich the thinking, understanding and physical mechanism towards better performance of music.

The objective of the music training and education imparted in the department of Music is to make the student all-round musician and performer, aware of the various concepts and issues involved, capable of the study of related subjects which develop the sunlight in music and all contributing to making a good, intelligent and impressive musician.

Members of this ensemble study and perform Hindustani and Carnatic classical, semi-classical, folk, Sufi, and contemporary Indian music. Students participate in supervised rehearsals for a minimum of four–six hours weekly and gain experience performing and improvising within the Indian music idiom. Emphasis is given to stylistic integrity and accuracy of Indian melodies and rhythms, often set within a Western harmonic context. While indigenous Indian instruments like tabla, mridangam, bhapang, khartal, sarod, sitar, sarangi, and bansuri are often used in the class, traditional instruments from other cultures like qanun, laouto, hulusi, dizi, suona, duduk, and didgeridoo are not only included, but welcomed. Functioning as a professional band rather than simply an academic class, the ensemble tours internationally and also releases music videos every semester, with a special emphasis on original student compositions.

Indian Music Styles and Techniques for Jazz and Contemporary Composition

This class will both survey and expose students to the two main Indian music systems: Hindustani (North Indian) and Carnatic (South Indian) along with Konnakol (South Indian rhythmic solfège). Selected Indian film music will also be examined. Students will compose, arrange, and create improvisational models using specific Indian music ideas and techniques as a source. 

Indian Music Concepts in Electronic Production

This course is a creative study of the musical aesthetics involved with composing and arranging in a wide range of popular Indian musical genres, including pop songs, remix hits, and classical forms. Utilizing a variety of electronic programming and production techniques, students will complete a series of guided projects that effectively demonstrate the contemporary application of Indian ragas, musical instrumentation, and popular stylistic repertoire.

Indian Art, Music, and Culture

This course is designed to introduce students to a comprehensive study of the principal thoughts, concepts of beauty, and aesthetics in the art of India.

South Indian Rhythmic Solfège and Jazz/World Music 1

Focused on South Indian rhythmic solfège, this course explores both North and South Indian melodic concepts, the raga system, and the tala system. In addition to Indian rhythms, some West African and Brazilian rhythms will be covered. 

South Indian Rhythmic Solfège and Jazz/World Music 2

A continuation of South Indian Rhythmic Solfège 1, this class continues to work on strengthening basic pulse. Complex polyrhythms are learned by vocal recitations and hand-clapping patterns. These exercises and patterns are then applied to students' instruments and used in improvisation.

From ancient times till date, the language of the song in India has undergone many changes. The song texts in the ancient period were primarily Sanskrit and Prakrit. In the medieval period, due to the development of regional languages, the importance of Sanskrit as a language of the song started diminishing. Sanskrit is still in vogue as song language in Carnatic music. But it is not the case in Hindustani Art music. Except for Ashtapadi, the song-texts of major song-forms such as Dhrupad, Khayal, Tappa, Thumri are chiefly in regional dialects such as Brij, Awadhi, Mewadi, Saraiki-Panjabi, etc. In the modern period, few composers have composed Dhrupad, Khayal, and also line-components for Tarana or Chaturang in Sanskrit. One also finds the influence of Sanskrit in some Dhrupad and Khayal compositions. This paper firstly takes a brief review of Sanskrit compositions of Hindustani Art music through the ages, and secondly discusses some questions such as why Sanskrit lost the pivotal place in song-texts in Hindustani Art music and still why modern composers, though few, have tried composing Sanskrit Bandish-s. The paper also ponders upon some issues such as potentialities and limitations of any language for being a song-language, and how vocalists handle the song-texts in actual rendition.

Varieties of music instruments are available today to produce the audible sounds which are used to make a piece of music. The music instruments have been classified into various groups depending upon the size, materials, usages, structure, and others. But, today many new practices, experiments, devices, and new instruments have been emerged with the flow of time in musical field. For all the concerned with music, a neo-classification of instruments is ever raised a question. So, from the educational point of view, some of the new music instruments, which are played today, further should be re-classified for convenience. The present article is based on an overview upon the study about the music instruments by following the secondary data and analytical method. After interpretation and analysis, some music instruments, which are still unclassified are categorized under neo-classification.

En 1964, Alan P. Merriam définissait l’ethnomusicologie comme l’étude de la musique dans la culture et en tant que culture («music in and as culture»)1. Or, en Asie du Sud, rares sont les auteurs qui ont pensé l’objet musical en ces termes. Les pages qui suivent font l’état des lieux des travaux les plus importants des quinze dernières années. J’aborderai successivement la musicologie historique, les études portant sur les traditions classiques contemporaines, l’ethnomusicologie naissante des objets «non classiques», les modèles performatifs et enfin les enjeux soulevés par l’étude des musiques dites «populaires» (popular music).

Hindustani khayal music is a prominent vocal classical genre in northern India. Scholarship on khayal, elaborating on its construction as national and classical, has often rendered its social experiences in manners that suggest homogeneity across regions and quasi-autonomy from popular music. Focusing on a contemporary instance—a television show that features Marathi popular songs—this article unpacks the relationship of khayal with popular music in the state of Maharashtra. In the process, the article reflects on the meanings that khayal has accrued in a regional context as well as on the nature of music categories, genres, and their calibration.

Dr. Subroto Mihir alias Suvratadev Sharmana Vandyopadhyay Roy

As opposed to the reductionist views of time which include a linear approach, the Indian is a cyclic conception of time which events follow. According to this view the super-structure of time is cyclic; tangible and intangible events keep repeating in smaller cycles. The essence of Creation at a macro level and creativity at the micro or individual level is the fact that they appear differently to us. In north Indian art music (NIAM), I propose that Avartan is its “cyclicity” which is responsible for creativity. The heavy demand for extempore improvisation in NIAM, forces a performer to continually view immediate past musical act and improvise based on this. In this manner, the spiral of creativity is generated. Then, at a point of time one wants to break away from this cycle just as an aeroplane leaves its runway after gaining momentum. At a very secular level, this process replicates an urge for freedom from routines in life, but one cannot value freedom without being shackled and finding a tool to gain a threshold frequency for final release. Avartan as a tool provides a process of observation, retention, and recall; itself is a cyclical process. At an esoteric level, in India, the timeless Siva is the chief deity of time and hence He devours it. He is the Yogi (without categories/unity itself) blissful between two moments and full of potential creative energy. This situation is replicated in the sam of Avartan or the first beat (unity) in the cyclic meter. Sam is the pivotal aspect which is continually sought after by the artiste in an attempt to meet the Yogi sitting between moments. From this unity multiplicity is born giving birth to cyclic meter representing the infinitely diverse phenomenal world.

Gisa Jähnichen

Taking organological research and display of outcomes in China, Vietnam, and Malaysia as example, this paper is to highlight burning issues regarding the purpose and meaning of the discipline in the context of research communities experiencing urbanity. Methodologically, this paper argues mainly in dialogue with the discussion on transcultural musicology. In the mentioned region, urban museums, archives, and universities are widely modeled according to successful academic institutions of supposedly global importance. The perspective of expected success needs a radical turn in order to serve social sustainability and a growing knowledge base that is inclusive regarding subjects and objects under research. The radical turn in de-academizing derives from the questioning of basic assumptions that once started with an uncritical praise of Herder's groundwork in defining 'people' and finds expression in the social engagement with ethnic minorities, migrants , diaspora, and other categorically constructed groups of people in specific nation states and their urban centers.

Towards the History of Ideas in Ethnomusicology: Theory and Methods between the Late 18th and the Early 20th Century

Ulrich Morgenstern

The history of ethnomusicology is the history of ideas and concepts of why and how to deal with expressive practices in social formations which are usually located outside the researcher's primary cultural experience. Ideas in ethnomusicology (comparative musicology, anthropology of music, folk music research, folkloristics) are interlinked with other scholarly disciplines and academic fields. The history of the field is sometimes described as a shift from "[…] the history of the field is far more extensive than many had assumed or admitted".

The evening welcomes all ages and even includes a show for kids.     

The lineup will be as follows:
