A perfect bibliographic tool on Indian music is
the entry "Hinduism and Music" by Eben Graves in Oxford

Of the many introductory books, I can recommend two in particular:
1/ Emmie te Nijenhuis, Indian Music: History and
Structure, Leiden: Brill, 1974 (a bit dense)
2/ Bonnie C. Wade, Music in India: The Classical Traditions,
Englewood Cliffs: Prentice-Hall, 1979
Best,

A
professional Baroque violinist, not an Indologist and so not on
this list, has asked me for introductions to classical Indian
musical theory, including the concept of rāga, especially as found
in Carnatic music. Both primary texts (in translation) and
secondary sources are welcome, and the period corresponding to the
Baroque (17th to 18th century) would be of special interest.
This question is entirely outside my field of knowledge, and I
would appreciate any suggestions from knowledgeable colleagues. If
there are particular recordings that might be helpful, and perhaps
go with a particular text/book (by design or serendipity), that
would be useful too.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Martin Gansten
