Description

Explore the depth of Indian musical theory with Ritigaula: A Study of Improvisation and Discourse in Indian Music. Written by the late Princeton scholar Harold Powers, this monograph provides a detailed examination of a single Indian raga. Readers gain a deep understanding of the pitch structure and performance conventions that define R tigaula. This work goes beyond simple description by looking at how raga structure and meaning function within musical communication. Powers uses a unique approach to theorize raga through the lens of discourse, examining how musical expression relates to language. By analyzing historical Indian music treatises, the book offers a comprehensive view of how this specific raga has been treated over time. Whether you are a scholar of ethnomusicology or a student of Indian classical music, this book offers a specialized perspective on the relationship between linguistic communication and musical expression. It is a foundational text for understanding the connection between sound, structure, and meaning in the context of Indian musical traditions.
