The language of Love

Man-kind has shown the utmost creativity in being romantic for years. Even though, we feel proud of our art of communication and the techniques we developed for a wider reach, somehow within integrity, every culture has managed to maintain its uniqueness, its identity.

Although there is a unique method of expressing your feelings (the roots of which fall in the various hormones we secrete) the methods vary from person to person and more rigorously culture to culture.

Let's see the various scripts for the most romantic language in the world. (let the reader decide which one of them suits him/her)

Western:

A B C D E F G

....this is probably the best form of written script with the worst form of aesthetics


Chinese:


Gung Shang Chiao/jue cheng bianzih zih/Chih Yu biangong/biankung

....Chinese culture believed that every form or structure is a harmony of five basic elements. Even musical notes are named according to these five elements. A proper balance of these in your music looms into the best form of creation.
These elements are:

Kung (Earth), Shang (metal), chiao (wood), cheng (fire), yu (water)



Bali:

Ding Dong Deng Dung Dang

....appears very close to be a modern style of expressions....a freaky chakra


European:

Doh Re mi fa sol lah ti


........have to accept that europe understood it better than western....that's why the western world knows music by the names mozart, beethoven, satie, schumann, schubert, Liszt and Bach

Indian:

Sa Re/Ri ga ma pa dha ni

.......... considered to be the best form of improvisation and variational music.....a lot of space for creativity....the good part is, it is the only form of formal music existing so far in Indian culture....no distortions happened, like in western (blues, Jazz, Rock...and the latest HipHop)

that aint correct ->

The Khayal gayaki was a distrotion of Dhrupad (the true form of clasical music)

+ There are various omponents of the classical style in Natya Sangeet, various folk music,etc.

+ The insrtumental style...In the very old days instruments very never played singly...but always in unison with a vocal lead.

All of these are distortions of the Original Style ... Dhrupad

hi,

Nice to get this info. It is really helpful.

But, we are talking about different things. I am talking about the grammer , which is so called unique in the indian classical system. Even for folk.

That is not true with the western system. For classical music triads (chords) are considered the basic, whereas in modern forms like Jazz, quadras or pentatones are the basis of the chord system. Also, the scale structure is entirely different for them :D

May I know your real name? Nice meeting you, any way :)
