Dr. Rajashree Bhattacharya, Associate Professor, Bengal Music College Abstract This paper examines Rabindranath Tagore’s concept of nature as expressed in his seasonal songs, with special reference to the songs of summer (Grīṣma) and monsoon (Barṣā). It explores how Tagore’s engagement with nature evolved across different phases of his creative life and attained a profound, multidimensional depth during his Santiniketan years. Through a close aesthetic and thematic analysis of selected songs, the study highlights the interrelationship between nature, human emotion, and inner consciousness in Tagore’s music. The songs of summer reveal a complex interplay of austerity, memory, inner contemplation, and subdued lyricism, while the monsoon songs embody a wide spectrum of emotions—anticipation, joy, longing, separation, remembrance, existential solitude, movement, and the aspiration for freedom. In these compositions, nature transcends its descriptive role and emerges as a symbolic medium through which the poet articulates philosophical reflection, emotional intensity, and spiritual realization. The paper argues that Tagore’s seasonal Read More …

Bhabani Shankar Dasgupta 1 During the later decades of the 20th Century music gradually turned into a lucrative trade for some performers who became top ranking artistes. They demanded exorbitant remunerations for their recitals and impresarios were forced to satisfy their demands only to draw a large audience to their concerts. The young maestros of the 21st Century are demanding even greater amounts and concert organizers cannot but pay such fabulous sums to them. They are doing so, only because they want a large number of listeners who are so infatuated with these maestros that they are ready to squander all their savings only to hear them. But during the later decade of the 18th century and the early decades of the 20th Century the scenario was totally different. Eminent virtuoso never hankered after wealth or property. They wanted musically educated listeners who had the grey matter to appreciate their recitals. While my grandfather was Read More …

Dr. Ashis Chakraborty “If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.  The very foundations of our Universe, of matter and thought, appear to lie in sound vibration.” Nikola Telsa World, inner, and the outer, two different outlooks with different profiles, are existing. The outer world, to a very negligible extent is reachable for us but the inner world we don’t even bother to focus normally, thus knowledge for the same is far away from us. But it is very wondering that, by nature we are seekers, all, even who is not attracted to inner self or ready to believe its existence. Seeking is an expedition towards the unknown. A group of seekers from Eastern and western culture started looking for the source of the Universal power- directly or indirectly, through sound. Amongst them some tend to focus only on the facts of sound to its Read More …

BHASWATI SARMA Introduction: Dhrupad is the earliest known grammatical basis of Indian Music. Being one of the bearers of HINDU culture, Dhrupad is very ancient and carries traditional style. Hence, it influences other styles of Indian music derived from it or originated later. Dhrupad occupies a significant place in Hindustani Music. This genre of music is essentially unique while unfurling a Ra̅ga in its authentic style or presenting it keeping its feeling intact throughout. Dhrupad can also be defined as an image or reflection of ancient “Jatigaan” and “Chandaga̅na” or “Prabandhaga̅na”. Historically reporting, this style has evolved from “Dhruba̅ Prabandha” of “Prabandhaga̅na”. According to some scholars, the musical background of dhrupad is traceable back to the Vedas themselves. The lyrics and music of Dhrupad is excellent for its colorful “ala̅pcari” (singing uniqueness), layaka̅ri (different rhythmic structure), jhor, upaj etc. Veterans in music like Tansen, Swami Haridas etc. have shown expertise in performing Dhrupad.
