History:
There is also a huge influence from past historical discoveries and ways of life. For example, many stories and unwritten rules were passed down by word of mouth. This has influenced music culture because it has, for the most part, remained unchanged, and many composers feel that it’s a safe place to go back to, as it was secure and changeless. The influence of language was vital in compositions; there were many effects involving literary devices in order to get the desired affects from the music. Additionally, the religious scriptures of Hinduism and other Indian religions have been preserved and continue to have an impact on music in India to this date, as well as Indian theology (the study of God’s nature and religious belief) and polytheism (belief in multiple gods). Amidst the religious struggles faced by the country, many people turned to their religion and deepened their faith in their beliefs. Therefore, much of the music was songs, hymns, and praises.
