Hindu Music from Various Authors

This book consists of two parts. In response to the growing European interest in Hindu Music, the author aims to compile and present the writings of Oriental Scholars of Europe on this subject, along with their own commentary on these views and those of ancient Sanskrit musical writers. The collection is divided into two parts the first part includes extracts from prominent English-language works on Hindu Music, while the second part contains foreign writers' perspectives on Hindu Music. This updated edition incorporates additional foreign viewpoints and omits the author's own views, previously published in "Six Principal Ragas of the Hindus." The author expresses gratitude to those whose works are excerpted in Part II.
