What is Raga Harmony: Harmonic Structures and Tonalities in Indian Classical Music about?

Dr. L. Subramaniam, who’s been called ‘arguably the greatest violinist in the history of Indian music’, is also one of the most formally inventive musicians of our time. A polymorphous talent, he is not bound by genres or geographies nor fear of the untried and uncharted. It is in this spirit that, as a young student, Dr. Subramaniam set about creating a system that would integrate the melodic nature of the Indian raga system with the harmonic structure of Western classical music. What those early years of study—tried and tested over the decades—led to was the possibility of orchestral compositions for Indian ragas, evoking their mood within the rich sound of symphony orchestras. Raga Harmony unveils Dr. Subramaniam’s revolutionary thirty-six-scale concept that will allow compositions by Indian composers based on Indian ragas to be performed by some of the most prestigious orchestras across the globe. The use of this system enables the generation of lush harmonies that are not only uncommon and pleasing, but also intricate and intellectually intriguing.
