The Instruments
Violin - Introduced during British rule in India, the violin may be traced back in Indian music to as early as 1784 as told in a painting in the palace of Tippu Sultan in Mysore State, South India. Balaswami Dikshitar, brother of the famous South Indian composer, Muthuswamy Dikshitar, was the first Indian musician to popularize the violin in Karnatic music. The south Indian violin, identical, of course, to the western violin, differs in its tuning and playing position. Traditionally it is held with the top of the neck placed on the artist's ankle and the back of the violin resting on the left shoulder and collar-bone thus freeing the left hand with which the musician can play Indian musical ornaments such as the gamaka.
Gamaka is a collective term given to various shakes, grace notes and embellishments in Indian music. These are not accidental ornaments but are an essential part of the melodic structure. Tuning of the instrument is as follows: Tonic, Dominant (a fifth above), Tonic, (an octave above) Dominant (octave higher) from the fourth to the first string respectively, the tonic being variable.
Mridangam - This is the classical South Indian drum and is the main percussion instrument. It consists of a wooden barrel-shaped body with heads on both sides made up of different types of hide like sheepskin, calf-hide, and buffalo hide. The heads are stretched by leather straps which run along the sides of the body. The right head has a black spot in the center made up of a mixture of manganese powder and rice paste. The right head is tuned to the Tonic. The left head is the bass & needs a paste of semolina to be applied to it to produce the proper tone.
Tambura - This is an unfretted lute-like instrument used as a drone instrument which is played throughout the concert, providing the basic pitch. It has four to six strings which are plucked with the fingers. The wooden bowl at the base of the instrument amplifies the sound. The tambura is always accompanied by the solo artist to reflect his special placements of the tonic.
Dr. L. Subramaniam was a child prodigy. He started his concert career at the age of eight after training with his father Prof. V. Lakshminarayana. He has done much to popularize South Indian music through his numerous concert tours in all parts of the world.
Palghat T.S. Mani Iyer (Mridangam) has been called "the world's greatest living drummer"
V. Lakshminarayana (tala) is one of India's master violinists and a former professor of music.
Smt. Vijayashree (tambura) is a singer and has completed an MFA in Music at the California Institute of the Arts.
