- Indian music has its origins in the Vedas (4000BC-1000BC)
Vedas- the most sacred texts which contain about a thousand hymns

- text was preserved and passed down by oral tradition
-literature of the Vedas is divided into four parts:
Rig Veda, Sama Veda, Yajur Veda and Atharra Veda.
Rig Veda- oldest veda, Hinduism
- recited in three tones: one main tone and two accents, one higher and the
other lower called Udatta and Anudatta, respectively, done to accentuate the
words since the test was of primary importance.
Yajun Veda - mainly consists of sacrifical formulas
- two main notes with two accents forming the 1st concept of the tetrachord
(four notes)
Sama Veda - laid foundation for Indian music
- 3 more notes were added to original tetrachord resulting in the 1st full scaled
of 7 notes
- importance of the octave
Atharra Veda - collection of formulas that deal with black magic and spells
The Ancient Period => Vedas => Upanishads
- Upanishads - laid the foundation on which philosophies and religions of India are based
- Jati System - what the Raga system is based on
- Natyashastsa- treatise written by Bharata in 300 B.C

dance

-12th and 13th centuries northern India endured a series of invasion by Muslim rulers from Asia Minor on a crusade to spread Islam throughout the region. Following these invasions, Indian music developed 2 distintive systems: North Indian music (Hindustani) and Sotuth Indian Music (Carnatic)
-Hindustani - influences of Islam together with other cultural, social and political forces
-Karnatic or Carnatic - South Indian music that continued to develop without external influence (traditional)
2 Musical Forms
- Abhyasa Gama - intended for practice as to acquire technical skills
- Sabha Gama- intended for performances before an audience in a concert situation
- all forms have texts
Alap - opening section of a typical North Indian classical performance
