Communication in Indian raga performance

Abstract

This chapter takes an ethnomusicological approach to communication within Indian raga music, showing how this can operate through both auditory and non-auditory channels. It suggests that non-verbal and auditory features of a performance can combine to create a cultural Gestalt whose intrinsically musical features are part of a social milieu that must be considered in its entirety for a full appreciation of the communicative potential of the music.
