The Cords.

Hello readers

Hope you are having a happy Sunday, after a busy week , so today we wanted to talk about music.

I am sure almost every one of us enjoys music, music of any kind for that matter there are so many genres.

This blog is an informative one, not a awareness blogs that we have written till now. We should understand the meaning of music first; the easiest definition of music is "an art form whose medium is sound"

Before we start there is one point which is worth to be mentioned, which is the topic we have selected for today is an ocean, and you would get better information than this if you googled music!

But we want to focus the best of music, some milestones the first evidence of music were found on clay tablets, by the archaeologists in the remains of the Indus valley civilization, which they called it the 'hurrain song’, which was based on Hindu culture, the first music instrument dates back to the Vedic period .

Then came the Egyptian music, followed by the Asian, Chinese and the African cultures, who were the first to introduce of the Congo drums.

It is evident that till the metal age, the invention of metallic strings, was not used in music, when the metal age was at the peak. People also call the Neolithic period ,it is said that in this period there was lot of advancement the field of art and music ,great artists like Beethoven ,Vivaldi ,Mozart ,Saint Thayaga Raja ,Muthu Swami Dikshithar and many other great people ,have given us the music which is invaluable through the various musical instruments and their golden voice.

 Saint Thyagaraja and Muthu Swami Dhikshitar were legend's of Carnatic classical music composition. The all time favourite Vatapi Ganapatim bhaje a kirtane which was composed by Muthu Swami Dhikshitar,and the pancha rathna keethanas of Sri Thyagaraja is immortal and divine.

Coming to musical instruments, what amazes us is the physics behind their working, and how well the brain of the player  integrates and learns to play so well ,that his expertise  it will reach the level of subconscious which is great. We would just like to brief about a few instruments which are not at their peak. Jalterang which is a very unique instrument which is played on the bowls filled with water. Which dates backs to the 19th century.

Music is one art we have always enjoyed modern artists like, Bob Marley, Elton John, Enigma, Pink Floyd Michael Jackson and numerous band groups have kept us alive and moving on with life whenever we have felt low.

So let’s enjoy music and all the instruments and take this music further and become a part of the group and learn some form of music and enjoy the rhythm of life.

In the recent years we have may internationally famous artists ,we just jump with joy just by hearing their names like the one and only Michael Jackson, A.R  Rahman , John McLaughlin ,Mandolin Srinivas ,Zakir Husain I am sorry these are immediate names ,which are striking my mind now.

 I thank all the artists of the world who have helps feel better when I listen to  

them.

Thank you for bringing that hope back to us through those songs, tunes, musicals and operas.

Thanks for your time,have a great week ahead.

The Carnatic Trinity.
