"Premghan" (1855-1922) was born in Mirzapur, (UP) to an extravagant lifestyle of wealth and luxury, which gave him the opportunity to study music and literature. He was a close associate of Bhartendu Harishchandra and like him, contributed significantly to the development of modern Hindi. He wrote prolifically, his writing including both poetry and prose. Much of his sangeet kavya prescribes ragas as well as the musical form he believed would be appropriate for its rendition. However, none of t...(more)he compilations of his writings contain musical notations. Shubha Mudgal and Aneesh Pradhan have composed and curated a musical repertoire based on these texts. For ages 12 and above. *Picture Credit - Nitin Joshi
