Earlier varieties or 'incarnations' of Indian music elaborately described in many musical treatises are only of historical relevance today as the music described is quite different from current practices. It is argued that earlier varieties may not have survived because they failed to meet the three crucial requirements for a language-like organism to survive i.e., a robust community of practitioners/ listeners which I call the Carnatic Music Fraternity, a sizeable body of musical texts and a felt communicative need. In fact, the central thesis of the book is that Carnatic music, like language, survived and evolved from early/mid eighteenth century when these three requirements were met for the first time in the history of Indian music. 410 0$aPhonology and phonetics ;$v8. 606 $aCarnatic music$xTheory 606 $aMusic theory$zIndia 606 $aMusic and language 615 0$aCarnatic music$xTheory. 615 0$aMusic theory 615 0$aMusic and language. 676 $a780.954/8 700 $aVijayakrishnan$b K.
