The focus of this collection is audio and video examples of padabali and lila kirtan performances recorded during fieldwork research in West Bengal, India. The majority of recordings were made between 2011-2012 in Kolkata, Joydeb Kenduli and Kanthi, as the author travelled and studied with musicians. These recordings illustrate features of the large-meter musical style of devotional song in Bengal that is rarely captured in commercial recordings. In addition to these fieldwork recordings, there are also two examples from a Video Compact Disc recording of a lila kirtan produced in 2012.
Higginbottom article: parody settings of operatic French overtures by Jean-Baptiste Lully (contemporaneous to the composer's lifetime). George Barth article: historical recordings dating chiefly from the early-twentieth century, with modern style-parody recordings deriving from late-nineteenth century style.
The collection includes three kinds of material. There are original audio recordings of specific passages that demonstrate the ways of performing them discussed in Focal Impulse Theory. (There is also one brief excerpt from a commercial recording that is not widely available.) There are original video recordings; some have content similar to the audio recordings, and some demonstrate general ways of performing discussed in the text.
