Description
This book sheds light on the musical brilliance of diverse nations and unveils the unique characteristics of a nation’s popular music. The “Universal History of Music” draws from various sources and is enriched with original insights into Hindu music. The inclusion of songs from different cultures is not merely a coincidence; it stems from the profound connection between Music and Poetry, both overseen by the deity Sarasvati in Sanskrit tradition. This inclusion serves not only to showcase the intertwining of these art forms but also to facilitate a deeper understanding of a nation’s essence, as its songs and music are authentic expressions of its soul. While some specifics of Hindu music are presented in the Appendix.
