Music – a magical word which contains an entire universe in its total self. Philosophically it is accepted that Music existed even before the birth of human beings, the Music of the Universe or Cosmos precedes the man-made music.
However, during the developmental stage of mankind, humans became aware of the magical and mystical power of intonated sound or what we call it as music today. Thus accepting the power of music man chose it as a medium to communicate with God and gradually music became a powerful medium to convey feelings like joy, love, sorrow, victory, hope, anger, defeat etc. among fellow human beings too.
As mankind developed and established its societal existence, among many other things it also started developing music according to their understanding, evolving around their respective languages, cultures and ways of life.
