Congratulations Vidya!
Vidya has been sweating over an English version of the Sangita Sampradaya Pradarsini for ages. She has not slept for a while and has faced some tough hurdles along the way. But the book is now ready. Congratulations Vidya, on your labour of love. I can’t wait to buy it.
About the Sangita Sampradaya Pradarsini:
“The Sangita Sampradaya Pradarsini of Subbarama Dikshitar is a valuable text on South Indian Musicology.It was published in Telugu in the year, 1904. It contains a section on musicology, biographies of composers and short descriptions of the ragas of South Indian music that follow the scheme established by Venkatamakhin, the author of the treatise Caturdandi prakshika and his descendants and followers.It also has notated compositions to illustrate these ragas.It celebrated 100 years of its publication in the year 2004.To commemorate the event, we generated an English version of this work. We have tried to incorporate all the Gamaka symbols (ornamentations) and Svara notations as given in the original Edition. We have also tried to follow the original edition without any alterations. We have also given here the Vaggeyakara Caritamu or the Biographical accounts of Composers.” Link.
