Lecture Demonstration on Empirical approaches to performance of raga
15th May 2010
Invitation
Vidnyan Bharati Pune takes pleasure in inviting you for a lecture demonstration program by Dr. Subroto Roy on Empirical Musicology.
Dr Subroto Roy a music scholar having done PhD in music would like to share his post doctoral research work signifying that since “Raga is not contextually frozen with definite qualities that collectively give an unchangeable phenomenal character to the listner’s experience or performer, standardizing qualia of ragas and performance based on such standardization are not proper”. The Raga as sounded by the Guru is its best testimony. Preserving media actually do a disservice to Raga because listeners, enthusiasts, and learners tend to imitate rather than imagine and interpret, making Ragas as best, relics. Despite the fact that each Raga is believed to give a definite feeling called Rasa, a Raga is naturally performed or sounded differently. Renderings of a Raga sung by different masters of different times are different which changes qualia. Dr Roy will demonstrate this by singing and will also give examples of great masters using audio recordings.
Dr Roy’s presentation will be followed by a 20 minute question answer session.
SEMPRE, Society for Education, Music and Psychology Research by University of London specially awarded Dr Roy when he presented his research in a two day International conference held in UK on Indian music “Raga has no fixed Qualia”.
Dr Roy is a journalist by profession and his career spans over 17 year. He holds a graduate degree in Journalism. He was associated with Times of India, DNA, Mid Day and many more tabloids and was involved in reportage and reviews of music & education.
He is also a visiting faculty at many music schools.
