Influence of Percussion Musical Instrumentation in Vocal Music Enjoyment Dr International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research Volume 9, Issue 11, November-2018 1588 ISSN 2229-5518 Influence of Percussion Musical Instrumentation in Vocal Music Enjoyment Dr. Sriranganathan Darshanan, Shankaranathan Vimalshankar Abstract— This study is to find out the level of influence of each percussion musical instrumentation in the enjoyment of vocal mu-sic, when comparing with several percussion instrumentation. A Questionnaire survey has been conducted with 50 University Undergraduate music students. The western drum instrumentation gets the highest priority of en- joyment of the audience as the accompaniment for the vocal music. The least priority is given to the vocal music accom- panied by only the western keyboard and without any percussion instrumentation. The percentages of the enjoyment levels with different accompanied percussion instrumentation were highly fluctuating from the beginning and throughout the questions up to the last question. This shows that the enjoyment of music is not a fixed phenomenon and it can be changed a lot according to the comparison of different instrumentation and situations. Anyhow, the final outcome of the research as per the results of the last question of the questionnaire shows that the western drum instru- mentation gets the highest priority of enjoyment of the audience as the accompaniment for the vocal music. It leads to explain as, the simple per-forming of percussion instrumentation of tempo with simple and not complexed rhythms is more enjoyable and more supportive to the vocal music performances. Index Terms— Eastern Music, Instrumental Music, Music Instrumentation, Percussion Instruments, Tamil Music, Vocal Music, Western Drumming. —————————— —————————— 1 INTRODUCTION Music is the global language.

As promised earlier, we now bring you the second part of the article, focusing on the ancient wind and percussive instruments of India. We are pleased by your positive response and feedback for the previous article and hope you enjoy this one as well. Wind Instruments of India We start our journey by exploring the most ancient wind instruments of India. Pungi/Been The Pungi, also commonly referred to as the Been, is one of the oldest wind instruments. It is predominantly played by snake charmers in India and Pakistan. Originally emerging as accompaniment to Indian folk music, it enjoys an important place in Indian art, culture and religion even in the present day. This instrument includes a mouth-blown air reservoir, which is made from dried bottle gourd. The neck is curved and at the other end, two reed or bamboo pipes are connected to one another. One of the pipes has seven holes – the player uses this to play the melody. The sound lasts as long as the player does not take pauses. The pungi, which is still a major part of Indian folk music and street shows, is also considered to be one of the ways by which one can communicate with the divine. Flute/Venu/Bansuri Flute The flute falls into the woodwind category. This is a reedless wind instrument, which produces sound from the flow of air via a small aperture.
