Who knows the specific classification of Indian music?

The origin of Indian music is hidden in the beautiful myth of music creators. Indians believe that Indian music was created by Shiva. In India, among the authorities of ancient music, the greatest figure, even in India today, is still respected and worshipped by musicians. It should be1Sharan Xia Lang Gedewa at the beginning of the 3rd century. Later, because Islam invaded the north, the differences in musical styles between the north and the south were affected one by one, and Akbar (1542- 1605a.d), a king who believed in Islam in the north, was a monarch who didn't like music very much. Therefore, during his reign, his court musician Tan Sen initiated the music of North India, and the ragtime of Indian music was also deeply influenced by him. In addition, Indian chamber music, together with the music and drama of Indian temples, has developed well since Akbar the Great ascended the throne.

Among the elements of Indian music, the beat plays an extremely important role. Indians attach great importance to beat, which stems from their poetic method and rhythm concept since ancient times. Because in India, regardless of Sanskrit or regional dialect, all syllables are classified according to time. On the other hand, Indian poetry is divided by the length of time because there is no distinction between strong and weak syllables. At present, Indian linguists still attach great importance to all kinds of rhythms in poetry, and they are so strict that some scholars still teach according to the rhythm of poetry. Indians are very sensitive and familiar with the feeling of rhythm or duration. This is why it is easy for Indians to match lyrics or poems with music, or to fill music into lyrics or poems. In addition, Indians have a strong ability to predict various combinations of festivals and performances. For example, in the improvisation of drums, Indians can quickly and correctly judge whether the beat method of drums is two beats plus four beats or seven beats plus two beats plus seven beats.

Indian music, like other national music, is unique and strongly reflects its customs and lifestyle. Indian music is very religious, just as Indian civilization pays attention to the spiritual aspect of the soul. National music is complex, mysterious and diverse, and has the characteristics of spiritual music.

Indian music can be roughly divided into South Indian music and North Indian music. Although musical instruments and musical styles are different, the music theory and theory are similar. The sitar is a representative instrument of North India. Influenced by Muslim culture and Persian music, North Indian music belongs to a kind of court music, which is completely different from South Indian music with strong Hindu color.

Indian music history

A. The native Dravidian race and the alien Aryans from Central Asia, which began in 3000 BC, laid the foundation of music.

B. Singing of Vedic hymns (Aryan, Hinduism), BC 1500-500.

This is the oldest music tradition today. The Vedas recorded the earliest philosophical and religious thoughts of Indians, and their influence on Indians is still 65,438+00 points.

C. Buddhism and Greek culture have also influenced India before and after, but relatively speaking, not many have been handed down.

conclusion

The rich and complicated tradition of Indian music is really the richest treasure of music culture in the world today, and it is also fulfilling the greatness of this nation with a long history. In Indian music, we can often find some features that have been lost in other music cultures, the special power and religious feelings of music, the special ability of improvisation, and the special relationship between music and mathematics and the whole universe. Many modern musicians, whether classical music or pop music, look for examples of inspiration from Indian music, but relatively speaking, the real learning and performance of Indian music is limited to Indians themselves. I think we should start by appreciating Indian music and then understand the practice, which will certainly open up our hearing field and enrich our culture.
