Semiosis in Hindustani Music (Performing Arts)

Jose Luiz Martinez

4.9/5 (18302 ratings)

Description:For thousands of years music in India has been considered a signifying art. Indian music creates and represents meanings of all kinds, some of which extend outwardly to the cosmos, while others arise inwardly, in the refined feelings which a musical connoisseur experiences when listening to it. In this book the author explores signification in Hindustani classical music along a two-fold path. Martinez first constructs a theory of musical semiotics based on the sign-theories of Charlers Sanders Peirce. He then applies his theory to the analysis of various types of Hindustani music and how they generate significations. The author engages such fundamental musical issues as sound quality, rāga, tāla and form, while advancing his unique interpretations of well-known semiotic phenomena like iconicity, metalanguage, indexicality, symbolism. Martinez's study also provides deep insight into semiotic issues of musical perception, performance, scholarship, and composition. An especially innovative and extensive section of the book analyzes representations in Hindustani music in terms of the Indian aesthetic theory of rasa. The evolution of the rasa system as applied to musical structures is traced historically and analyzed semiotically. In the light of Martinez's theories, Hindustani music reveals itself to be both a delightfully sensuous and highly sophisticated system of acoustic representations.José Luiz Martinez (b. 1960) is a Brazilian music semiotician and composer. His principal research interests include musical semiotics, Indian classical music, gamelan, and Brazilian music. Martinez pursued and completed his doctoral studies at the Department of Musicology, University of Helsinki, and this book is his doctoral dissertation.
