Indian Music would have been incomplete without mentioning another great poet, Composer and Nobel Laureate from Bengal Rabindranath Tagore
(May 1861-7 August 1941). He is universally regarded as one of the greatest lyrical poets of all times.

Rabindranath's poetical masterpieces also combined charming composition of musical notes. As such we find that both Tansen and Rabindranath, combined poetry with music. Rabindranath was a practical musician also with an exquisitely charming voice and gifted with an enchanting tone. Rabindranath in his prime followed the footsteps of Tansen in his superb compositions of Bengali Dhrupada music. He assimilated the spirit and forms of Tansen in giving expressions of Bengali classical music most of which fall in the category of "Brahma Sangeet". But these songs, although containing influences of Tansen’s music, were in no way mere imitations of the past great Master of music. Rabindranath during his long career has composed thousands of lyrical songs of all types of music prevalent in North India and especially in Bengal. The greatest lyrics of Rabindranath have been devoted to his spiritual realizations. The adoration of one supreme divine inspired Tagore that we found in Tansen. Thus the essence of the Vedic teachings is the basis of the realizations of both these great masters. His major musical notation & largest number compositions in Indian History of Music is available in Swarabitan in 64 (sixty-four) volumes a Publication by Viswabharati Publication Department.
