How to Name It? (1986) is an instrumental Indian-Western fusion album by Ilaiyaraaja.[1] [2] This was Ilayaraaja's first fusion music album. The album has musical movements that are dedicated to Tyagaraja, a religious musician and composer from South India (1767-1847) and the Western baroque music composer, J. S. Bach (1685-1750) of Germany.

One of the tracks is based on Preludium in E by Johann Sebastian Bach.

The song "Chamber Welcomes Thiyagaraja" was composed in classical guitar based on Kamavardhini Raga. This piece is considered one of the difficult pieces composed for classical guitar based on Indian raga.[3]
