Volume : III, Issue : V, June - 2013 ORIGIN AND DEVELOPMENT OF INDIAN MUSIC IN T HE EARLY PERIODS: A BIRD'S EYE VIEW SHEETAL MORE DOI : 10.9780/22307850, Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : Music plays a vital role in the life of men. The sound that evolves out of music gives a sensual feeling in every person due to its sublime effect. In the words of Sir Hurber Perry, “ the very fact of musical utterance, implies a genuine expansion of the nature of the human being and is in a varying degree a trustworthy revelation of the particular likings, tastes, and sensibilities of the being that gives vent to it." This being the significance and importance of music, the music that evolved and developed in each country has its own historical, socio, cultural background basing on its evolution and practices. This paper is an attempt to study subtly the origins of Indian Music in the early periods especially that of the ancient and Vedic periods.
