Indian Classical Music| Music OF India
Indian classical music, as well as many types of folk, popular, pop, and, most recently, rock music, are all part of the Indian musical landscape. The Vedas, the earliest Hindu writings, contain the origins of Indian classical music. The Samaveda is thought to have created the foundation for Indian music, and it consists primarily of Rigvedic hymns adapted to melodies that would be chanted during Vedic sacrifices employing three to seven musical notes. Rather than simply being a form of self-expression, Indian classical music was seen as a method of self-realization and redemption.
