A tutorial of the Indian Classics

Were you unaware of the ancient history and chief stylings of Indian Classical Music? If so, you needn't be! Here is the genre as presented by this grand tutorial of "The Classical Music of India." In a single page of well-ordered links you will first find brief introductions to the genre for the presently unenlightened. In the first of these articles, "Introduction to Indian Classical Music," you will read about the delineation of the two primary divisions, which are the Karnatic and the Hindustani. In a section on the actual pieces, these two main divisions of the genre are further defined in the individual pieces or "Ragas" of those sub-genres. This site is a scholarly exposure to India's musical culture, yet easy reading and very alluring for those looking to expand their library of listening experiences.
