dc.description.abstract Music Singing and playing musical instruments have been developed and spread according to their unique traditions all over the world. Therefore this book titled ‘Art and Tradition of Sri Lanka: Music of Sri Lanka’ can be considered as a timely necessary task. The author Dr. Gayathri Madubhani Ranathunga, Senior Lecturer at the Fashion Design and Product Development of the Department of Textile and Clothing Technology, University of Moratuwa has made a noteworthy effort in exploring the socio-cultural aspects of the history of music of Sri Lanka. The book consists of four chapters. The first chapter is about an unsighted overview of the tradition in Sri Lanka. The second is about the chronological development of the music tradition of Sri Lanka. The third is about the history of musical instruments of Sri Lanka. The forth is about musical instruments of today.Explorations are based on archaeological evidences of Sri Lanka and it is important that the author was able to build a sound dialogue between Sri Lankan music tradition and its interaction with society. This scholarly work is very much vital for researchers and students of the respective subject areas. Besides, anyone who studies the practical side of aesthetic subjects can be guided with insight into the music of Sri Lanka through a different perspective. Also, any who seeks subject matter related to music of Sri Lanka can understand the content easily. One of the responsibilities of a university lecturer is to contribute to the research culture and generously share and publish earned knowledge. Therefore, I would like to wish the author all success and may she involve in such service and publish more research work in the future as well. en_US
