Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan – A Millennial Tribute is a commemorative volume that honors the life and legacy of one of the most legendary figures in Indian classical music. Published by the Sabrang Music Trust in 2000, the book is a rich compilation of essays, reflections, anecdotes, and archival materials that chronicle the towering presence of Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan in the world of Hindustani vocal music. Known for his unparalleled gayaki (singing style), emotive expressions, and supreme command over raga renderings, Khan Sahab is remembered here not only as a performer but also as a cultural icon whose influence shaped generations of musicians and rasikas (connoisseurs).

The book includes contributions from renowned musicologists, disciples, critics, and admirers who share their personal and professional experiences with the maestro. It captures his musical journey from Kasur to the royal courts of India and into the hearts of millions, mapping his stylistic evolution and devotion to the Patiala gharana. A blend of biography, tribute, and documentation, this tribute volume is a valuable resource for anyone passionate about Indian classical music and its golden voices.
