It Is usually difficult for a listener OF another
race to catch an Indian song owing to the con.
ncting noise DUE In a great part. to the beating
Of the drums. There Is usually difference In
time, the drum beats being designed to govern
bodily movements and mark the steps OF the
ceremonial danccrs whereas the song voices the
emotion Of the appeal. The drums may be beaten
in "a time and the song be In 3'4 time or the
beat be in 6S time against melody In 3-4 time.

making a study Of Indian music are enthusiastic
over its possibilities. They declare that not only
does the field afford rich opportunities for the
study Of the growth Of musical form. but the
Indian songs themselves offer to the present-day
