| Author: |
| Edition Year: 1988 |
| Cover: Hardback |
| Subject: Dance/Music/Movies |
| Language: English |
| Editedby: Kapila Vatsyayan |
| Abstract: This book is a remarkable treatise from the earliest known period of organized, systematic writing on music in India. It can be placed in the same period as the Natyasastra and it presents to us a well developed Sastra, composed at the end of a long tradition of analytic thinking on music. It is devoted to the description of Gandharva, a sacred corpus of music, derived from the still more ancient sama, sacred Vedic form. Gandharva was also the present forms from which our own present forms have descended. But the importance of the Dattilam is not a merely historical one. It articulates a framework and approach in musicology with which our understanding of musical forms is still impregnated. |

| Abstract: In this book, the author describes Nautanki as a cultural organism living and dying within a community of related forms. On its outdoor stages, performers drummed, sang, and danced exuberantly as they reenacted a range of stories old and new. The author weaves her discussion of Nautanki into a well designed historical fabric, drawing on both documents and oral sources to provide a chronological account of texts, themes, schools, music, and meter. |

It is true that it rose to the dizzy heights of popularity quite belatedly. After having been invented by Amir Khusro by brining about modification in the ancient Vedic instrument called Veena, the instrument did not catch musicians fancy immediately. |
