Vocal and Instrumental Renderings in Carnatic Music - a Comparison
نویسنده
چکیده
Carnatic music, the classical music of South India, is rich in melodic and devotional content. Vocal renderings effectively convey the devotional aspect, and a variety of instruments enhance the melodic effect of the vocal renderings. After briefly tracing the origins and early development of Carnatic music, we will describe vocal and instrumental renderings and provide a comparison. We also allude briefly to some links between Carnatic music and Hindustani music, the classical music of North India.

Carnatic music is the ‘art’ music of the four southern States of India (Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala and Tamilnadu).
