S.M. Tagore was a 19th century Bengali musicologist who founded the Bengal Music School (1871) and Bengal Academy of Music (1881) and published extensively on music theory. In the early 1880s he set Indian translations of God Save the Queen to popular Indian melodies as national anthems for the Indian Empire.
Tagore’s Six Principal Ragas (1876) was a pioneering work on the raga system in Indian classical music. It includes melodies in his newly devised Indian notation with Sanskrit words, and in Western notation with transliterated Sanskrit words.Provenance
Presented to Queen Victoria by the author, 29th August 1881.
