Rabindranath Tagore composed over 2000 songs that are revered and
sung by Bengalis everywhere. However, they remain mostly unknown to
listeners from other communities. This book brings the Nobel
Laureate's unique music - Rabindrasangit - to a global audience,
with a lucid introduction by Ananda Lal as well as selected songs
in international transcription and English translation. It includes
an essay written originally in Bengali by the celebrated filmmaker
Satyajit Ray, himself a Tagore student and music composer. Ray
presents his thoughts on Rabindrasangit, its nuances, music,
history, and usage. Lal has also translated this essay into English
for the first time. The book also presents for the first time
faithful staff notations of all 41 songs in three of Tagore's major
plays - Rakta-karavi, Tapati, and Arup Ratan - providing a thematic
unity to the music section. This volume will be of interest to
Tagore and Ray enthusiasts and specialists, musicologists, and
students of music, theatre, literature, performance studies, and
cultural studies. It will appeal not only to scholars but to
general readers wanting to know more about Tagore's songs, as well
as directors, arrangers, composers, and singers who may wish to
perform or interpret the songs transcribed.
