The Trinity in Music

Abstract

The triangular relationship of Music, Dance and Instruments has been widely discussed and wrongly interpreted as they have equal importance. It really means that the term Sangit carries the totality of auditory aesthetics. Though the trio conceals music, dance and instruments music, always stands tall and dominates all other art forms. As all creatures respond emotionally to music, it has some supremacy among other art forms. (“Nritam vadyanugatam proktam Vadyam geetanuyayi cha Atogeetam pradhanathwad...”) which clarifies that dance to follow instrument and instrument follows music therefore music has extreme importance. This is because of the instant sweetness (”Sangitamapisahityam Saraswatya sthanadwayam-Ekam aapata madhuram Anyam) of music. Instant sweetness is due to its ability to communicate without intellectual/logical provision.
