EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, published in the Illustrated London News on March 9, 1963, showcases a fascinating comparison of two unique and historic musical instruments from The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The first instrument, the French cornemuse, is a captivating representation of the bagpipe, a traditional wind instrument with a rich musical history. The cornemuse, specifically, is a type of bagpipe that originated in France, featuring a bag made of animal skin, and a set of pipes connected to it. The second instrument, the Indian sarangi and bow, hails from Northern India and is a stunning example of intricate craftsmanship. The sarangi is a stringed instrument carved from a solid block of teak and inlaid with ivory. The bow, made of bamboo, is intricately decorated with ivory and human hair. The Indian sarangi holds significant cultural importance, particularly in theatrical performances by the renowned Nautch companies. The Nautch companies were traveling troupes of performers who presented a variety of arts, including music, dance, and storytelling. The sarangi was used to accompany these performances, producing a melancholic and expressive sound that resonated deeply with audiences. This photograph not only highlights the beauty and uniqueness of these two instruments but also serves as a reminder of the rich musical history and cultural exchange that has taken place throughout history. The French cornemuse and the Indian sarangi, despite their vastly different origins, share a common thread in their role as cherished instruments that have captivated audiences for generations.
