Arnold Bake: A Life with South Asian Music (SOAS Studies in Music)

Bob Van Der Linden

4.9/5 (19932 ratings)

Description:Arnold Bake (1899-1963) was a Dutch pioneer in South Asian ethnomusicology, whose research impressed not only the most renowned Indologists of his time but also the leading figures in the emerging field of ethnomusicology. This long-overdue biography sheds light on his knowledge of the theory and practice of South Asian music, as well as his legacy on the intellectual history of ethnomusicology. Bake spent nearly 17 years in the subcontinent and made numerous, irreplaceable recordings, films and photographs of local musicians and dancers. As a gifted Western musician, he studied Indian singing with Bhimrao Shastri, Dinendranath Tagore and Nabadwip Brajabashi, and successfully performed Rabindranath Tagore's compositions and South Asian folk songs during hundreds of (lecture-) recitals in India, Europe and the United States. For the last 15 years of his life, Bake taught Indian music at the University of London's School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) and he was the first to do so at a Western university. Besides through his numerous writings and (radio-) presentations, he advanced his subject through his activities in British and international research associations. The history of ethnomusicology, especially as applied to South Asia, cannot be fully understood without regard to Bake, and yet his contribution has remained, until now, unclear and unknown.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
