N2  - This book examines the ways in which interdisciplinarity between music and history may be established and also how history and aesthetics exist in reciprocal relation to one another. Musicologists focus on the study of musical activity, while ethnomusicologists examine this activity first-hand using ‘field’ research methods of cultural anthropology. The historian’s task, then, is to interpret the musical past as part of cultural production, and thereafter relate music to general historical trends. This is precisely what this collection of essays seeks to establish by studying interdisciplinarity between the Karnatak music system and the history of Tamilnadu
