Musical sound contains multiple frequencies in harmonic and inharmonic ratios. Verification of Raman's model, effect of different parts of tabla on its tonal qualities and effect of sound and rhythm of tabla on human nature and behaviour have been studied in this book on the basis of results obtained by the experiments.
Peter Lavezzoli, Buddhist and musician, has a rare ability to articulate the personal feeling of music, and simultaneously narrate a history. In his discussion on Indian music theory, he demystifies musical structures, foreign instruments, terminology, an

Just a day and a half old, the very first words Zakir hears from his famous father, Allarakha, are bols -- rhythms played out on tablas! These rhythms sing and dance in his head, on Amma's cheeks, on pots and pans... The author follows these beats, stringing together little vignettes from his life. From a childhood around music to the highs of a performer who took the tabla to the world, this joyous story introduces children to a musical genius, whose busy f ingers and flying curls make him the inimitable Zakir Hussain. The illustrations add their own magic with f ine artistry and a subtle but striking use of colours. * A book about the internationally renowned musician, Zakir Hussain, by an award-winning author * A journey into his childhood and life in music * Exuberant and elegantly crafted pictures by an award-winning illustrator * A multicultural story about music and musicians
How do musicians play and talk to audiences? Why do audiences listen and what happens when they talk back? How do new (and old) technologies affect this interplay? This book presents a long overdue examination of the turbulent relationship between musicians and audiences. Focusing on a range of areas as diverse as Ireland, Greece, India, Malta, the US, and China, the contributors bring musicological, sociological, psychological, and anthropological approaches to the interaction between performers, fans, and the industry that mediates them. The four parts of the book each address a different stage of the relationship between musicians and audiences, showing its processual nature: from conceptualisation to performance, and through mediation to off-stage discourses. The musician/audience conceptual division is shown, throughout the book, to be as problematic as it is persistent.

‘Kankana Banerjee-The Journey of a Khayal Queen’ attempts to bring to the fore the life and contributions of one of India’s most acclaimed and foremost Classical vocalists Vidushi Kankana Banerjee. As a young girl of eleven, Kankana came under the tutelage of Ustad Amir Khan and learned from him for more than fifteen years. She was later trained by Pandit Pratap Narayan of the Mewati gharana. As a performing artist, she was particularly marked by experts for her cuckoo-like voice and soulful renditions that were built on the rudiments of the Indore style of singing and carried the ethos and marrow of her Ustad. Fame and recognition were sure to come, but not easily. Life had been unsparing at times. Her land of promises froze on several occasions, leaving her torn and devastated. But her unflagging determination kept her going. Despite all odds, she could establish herself as a singer of repute; a name to reckon with. Her sundry contributions as a performing artist, a Guru, and a composer would indubitably be of interest to arbiters of music, aesthetes, students and her devotees around the globe. This book not only gives one the opportunity to know Kankana only as a songstress of rare brilliance but also allows us to peep into the artist’s unostentatious life yet worthy of attention, from close proximity.
INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER From the distinct and vibrant voice behind Hockey Night in Canada Punjabi comes the story of pursuing a dream and defying the odds, reminding us all of hockey's power to unite. BoninoBoninoBonino! Ask a hockey fan if they have heard the wonderfully electric call of Nick Bonino's overtime-winning goal from the 2016 Stanley Cup Final and they will almost surely answer with a resounding yes! That's because video clips of the Hockey Night in Punjabi broadcast immediately went viral, amplifying the profile of Harnarayan Singh, the voice behind the call. Growing up in small-town Alberta, Harnarayan was like many other kids who dreamed about a life within the sanctum of the game they idolized. There was only one small difference--he didn't look like any of the other kids. And when he sat down on Saturday nights to tune in to Hockey Night in Canada with the rest of the nation, he couldn't ignore the fact that the broadcasters or analysts didn't look like him either. Undeterred, Harnarayan worked his way from calling imaginary hockey games with his plastic toy microphone as a child, to funding secret flights from Calgary to Toronto every weekend in the early days of Hockey Night in Punjabi, to making history as the first Sikh to broadcast an NHL game in English. Full of heart, humour, and bursting with personality (and maybe a few family prayers for Wayne Gretzky), One Game at a Time is the incredible and inspiring story of how Harnarayan Singh broke through the longstanding barriers and biases of the sport he loves. But more than that, Harnarayan blends his unabashed love of hockey with a refreshing and necessary positive message about what it means to be a Canadian in the world, making him one of the most influential ambassadors of the game today.
