Some Remarks on Indian Music

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  24 December 2009

Extract

Music is the natural expression of man's feelings. It expresses the sublime and beautiful inherent in man. It comes spontaneously to all persons in all conditions at all times and in all countries. “The very fact of musical utterance,” says Sir Hubert Parry, “implies a genuine expansion of the nature of the human being and is in a varying degree a trustworthy revelatioD of the particular likings, tastes, and sensibilities of the being that gives vent to it.”
