As I told earlier music is the art of expression internal feelings of a person. Music can be defined as the art which is produced with correct organization of sound in time. There are some elements of sound like pitch, rhythm, dynamics, timbre and texture. Pitch can be defined as the measure of sound in different frequency. Rhythm is the flow of sound in proper time interval. If the rhythm of sound is good then we can have good music. The other elements like dynamics, timbre and texture are also essential for producing good music. Music varies according to the culture. To see about the history of music, it is found that people got the musical ideas from animals. Birds are well known for musical voice. There are proofs that India has one of the oldest musical traditions in the world. Vedas, the ancient sculptures of Hindu traditions, is the resource for what I have told earlier. China and Greece also have the oldest musical traditions. It is said that the music of china is 3000 years old. For them music is part of their life. It served its part in social and cultural life of the people of India, China and Greece.

It is also called as Non-Western music. It is said that it has origin in India. Indus valley civilization is the oldest civilization in the world. These classical music is prevailing form this civilization. Seven holed flute is the oldest musical instrument. The sculptures of Indus valley civilization is depicted with dance and this flute. This classical music then is split in to Hindustani music and carnatic music. Hindustani music is same as classical music. Carnatic music is fully devoted to God. There are also songs representing love and social issues. This classical music also has its mark in Greece, China and Persia. Chinese music is 3000 years old. They have different musical traditions and instruments. Greeks have developed theatres in 9th century and music is performed in the theatres. In Greece Music is one of the important educations for the children. The students are taught music at the age of six. The change of empires in Rome changed the trend of their music. Each empire omitted some valuable parts of the traditional music and as a result we don’t know how exactly their music would be. In the next post we will be discussing about the performance of music and more interesting things in it.

Music can be physically expressed by means of performance. It is done with the help of musical instruments and musicians. There are two essential things in performing music. They are rehearsing and improvising. Rehearsing is what practicing regularly a concept and performing them in the stage. Improvising is introducing new concepts for every single performance. People always used to mix both and giving a variety of combinations to the audience. There are two types of performances like solo performance and group performance. The Indian classical music always has solo performance. Other cultures will be having group performance. There are two essential things in performing music. One is Ornamentation and aural tradition. In memory of the performers the songs will be given aurally. This type of tradition is given when the musician is no longer available. Ornamentation is changing periodically with the change of trends. During the 17thcentury, people liked performers who are doing simple melody. Later they liked stylish presentation of music. In 19th century it was completely different. The people mostly liked expressive music. Those who performed it expressively were succeeded during that period. That’s all about performance of music. More information about music will be discussed in the future posts.

This site is purely dedicated to art. We will be discussing periodically about art and its categories. Have you heard about culture? I can say art is a subdivision of culture. Many people don’t know about the art. Art never ends simply in drawing. Art is one of the vast areas to cover. I’m very much interested in this topic and hence I decided to blog something about arts. As I told earlier this site is purely dedicated to arts. We can say culture means discipline and art is nothing but the expression of the discipline. Categories of arts include visual arts, performing arts and literature arts. I can’t simply start with these categories, but there are lots of things there to know about the arts and I think it will be more useful for you to start with them. Whatever you dream and if your dream is to be in reality then art is what we call the process of transition. Studies about the arts are currently available. They are applied in various fields today. Shaping of one’s dream in to a finest structure with some expressive disciplines are said to be arts. In the future posts we will be discussing in detail about these arts. Keep in touch to gather lots of information about arts.
