In this book, performer, educator, and writer Subi Shah presents an essential commentary and analysis of Himalayan folk music and performance. Having documented this musical tradition since the 1960s, Shah has created in-depth analyses of song, dance, music, poetry, and drama within their local and spiritual contexts. Shah's detailed contribution to this field is invaluable reading for students, scholars, and musicians alike.
Music and Dances from Central Nepal is the first English translation of Shah's works. This collection includes three published works-Madal, "Pangdure (Maruni) Folk Dances", and Glimpses of Nepali Folk Songs-and three unpublished manuscripts- Introduction to Nepali Tunes, Sorati, and Basic Theory of Folk Dance.
This book stays true to Shah's voice and style, equipping the reader with the translated text, and tools such as audio and video examples, musical scores, and glossaries, which enrich our understanding of Himalayan performance....
