Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Contents. Preface. Introduction. I. Music and Emotions. II. Music and Expressiveness. III. Sthayibhava and the Aesthetic Structure of a Raga. IV. The Value of Ragas. V. The Musical Experience. To Look for Meaning in Music is not to look for isolated units of meaning or to connect isolated aspects with something other whose meaning is easily deciphered but to take the music as a whole and to understand the meaning in Musical terms alone. Through an analysis of the various elements of a raga the author attempts to show how an emotive significance is inextricably bound up with a raga and how in a meaningful exposition of a raga the various elements of musical expression are combined organically to create a musical entity which is supremely edifying and as such has profound Aesthetic and Spiritual significance. 108 pp. Seller Inventory # 100001987
