The first and the last are responsible for greater use of percussion, the second and third for use of metallic sounds in the modern compositions. Added to these primary inputs are the technological innovations that have steadily pushed the music away from simplicity towards complexity bordering on chaos. It is agreed that to a certain extent, a large number of modern compositions mirror or portray the contemporary life. It is also accepted, that used to accelerated pace of life, the modern listener tends to identify himself with a faster composition. However, music like all other arts, serves two objectives the external, active, superficial cause and the internal, passive, personal one.
Music is perhaps the most commercialized of arts today.
Whereas the commercialization has increased its availability, its aesthetic quality has suffered as a result. Indian classical music, based on inviolable principles of sound, offers a much-needed respite to the unwary modern man. The notes and their predetermined movement in a Raaga ensure the unerring production of an aria that shall be in strict conjunction with natural biorhythms. Chiefly, on the basis of prominent notes being used, they were distributed in four segments of three hours each. Such a concept is unique to Indian classical music.
