Musical Instruments (Classic India)

0.0

The Classic India series portrays the panorama of India's cultural heritage. For centuries India was perceived as the land of fabulous riches, of wisdom, of mystique and romance. It is this magic that the series captures. It provides a window to one of the world's most ancient civilizations - anachronistic at times but most often vibrant and alive today. A collector's item, each book in this series is a visual delight. The musical instruments of India support a tradition of music that is four thousand years old. From the simple bamboo flute to the queen of instruments, the Saraswati veena, they exhibit a remarkable ingenuity of conception by way of shape and size, the manner in which they are played and the wide range of tones and rhythms they are capable of producing.
