    International Research Journal of Social Sciences_____________________________________ ISSN 2319–3565 Vol. 2(4), 28-30, April (2013) Int. Res. J. Social Sci. Music- A Literary Social Science Shivadurga and Mehrotra Vivek English Department, Institute of Applied Science and Humanities, GLA University, Mathura, UP, INDIA Available online at: www.isca.in Received 22 nd November 2012, revised 20 th December 2013, accepted 28 th February 2013 Abstract Music is the movement of sound to reach the soul for the education of its virtue.The study of music is a part of biology as the study of living organisms. Music exists because people create it, perform it and listen to it. The human brain is an information processing system. Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy. Music is a super-stimulus to express the strong emotions about the internal mental state of the speaker. The musicality of speech is much more subtle than that of music, but it provides important information which the listener's brain processes in order to derive some information. This information is applied to modulate the listener's emotional response to speech, and this accounts for the emotional effect of music. The normal function of the cortical map that responds to consonant relationships between different notes occurring at the same time within harmonies and chords must be the perception of consonant relationships between pitch values occurring at different times within the same speech melody. There are at least five and possibly six symmetries of music like: Pitch translation invariance, Time translation invariance, Time scaling invariance, Amplitude scaling invariance, Octave translation invariance and Pitch reflection invariance.
  • The Book Trade and Booksellers of Istanbul and Other Regions of the Ottoman Empire in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries1

    The Book Trade and Booksellers of Istanbul and Other Regions of the Ottoman Empire in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries1

    The Book Trade and Booksellers of Istanbul and other regions of the Ottoman Empire in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries1 Ismail E. Erünsal It is well known that no clear political history of the first period of the Ottoman Empire can possibly be established, let alone its cultural history. Historical sources contain no significant information about the few educational institutions which were established in some of the regions conquered during the reign of Orhan Ghazi (1324 – 1360). The leading activity of this beylik* made up of ghazi* communities living along the Byzantine-Seljuk border was “gaza,” that is, military expeditions inspired by religion, and this subsumed cultural activities for a certain period. However, under Murad I (1362 – 1389), Edirne was conquered and Ottoman rule began to make itself felt in Rumeli; some beyliks in Anatolia were subjugated and others became allies. These developments hastened the influx of ulema* toward centers of learning in regions such as Damascus, Egypt and Khorasan, which had already started under Orhan Ghazi. The addition of cultural centers such as Kütahya, Manisa and Kastamonu to the Ottoman Empire under Yildirim Bayezid (1389 – 1402) further fostered an atmosphere of research and debate. Madrasah* students of the early Ottoman period most likely procured their school books by copying them. It does not seem possible to claim that the book trade started with the establishment of madrasahs. There were not enough books to establish a trade in cities such as Iznik, Izmit and Bursa, which did not have an Islamic cultural heritage. However, the multiplication of educational establishments and the increase of communication with other beyliks and important Islamic cultural centers led to the flow of both ulema and books into the Ottoman state.

    Hindustani Music[Edit] Carnatic Music[Edit]

    The music of India includes multiple varieties of folk, popular, pop, classical music andR&B. India's classical music tradition, including Carnatic and Hindustani music, has a history spanning millennia and developed over several eras. Music in India began as an integral part of socio-religious life and that Indian music is essentially melodic: sounds follow one another expressing an emotional state in an aesthetic unity.[1] Two main traditions of classical music are Carnatic music, found predominantly in the peninsular regions, and Hindustani music, found in the northern and central regions.[2] The basic concepts of this music includes Shruti, Swara, Alankar, Rāga, and Tāla. Its tonal system divides the octave into 22 segments called shrutis, not all equal but each roughly equal to one quarter of a whole tone of Western music. Melody is based on the system of ragas, which are melody types used as the basis for improvisation. Hindustani music[edit] Main article: Hindustani classical music Hindustani music tradition was developed around 13th and 14th centuries AD with Persian influences and from existing religious and folk music.[3] The practice of singing based on notes was popular even from the Vedic times where the hymns in Sama Veda, a sacred text, were sung as Samagana and not chanted. Developing a strong and diverse tradition over several centuries, it has contemporary traditions established primarily in India but also in Pakistan and Bangladesh. In contrast to Carnatic music, the other main Indian classical music tradition originating from the South, Hindustani music was not only influenced by ancient Hindu musical traditions, historical Vedic philosophy and native Indian sounds but also enriched by the Persian performance practices of the Mughals.

Not only are their careers mentally grueling and physically demanding but they also have an added risk of high investment and low returns. The rock genre has struggled to achieve its righteous place in the country whereas folk, qawalli, pop, bhangra and Bollywood music experienced skyrocketing popularity.

As a part of the course requirements, the students were asked to write a term paper and make a presentation to the class on "Living Leaders of Pakistan." They had to choose from a list of short-listed leaders who were identified in an earlier internet-based survey. The following procedure was adopted to identify the leaders: 1. An email was sent in October 2008 to all employees (faculty and staff) at all SZABIST campuses to nominate a number of living Pakistani Leaders in the following categories: Political, Corporate, Performing Arts, Sports, Social, Spiritual, Technical and Media (TV and Print). Political leadership was to exclude all present and former head of states to identify new leaders; Academic was excluded to eliminate the element of bias.

This paper catalogs the early emergence of this practice, the opinions of composers on the craft itself, and their opinions on audience attitudes toward twelve-tone music. The conclusion is reached that serialism is generally too academic, written with professional musicians in mind, alienating the listener. The more successful modern composers have tempered their writing with more conventional harmony and tonality. 2 Twelve-Tone Serialism and Its Effect on Modern Audiences Kenan Baker Twelve-tone music and serial composition is a controversial topic for musicians and composers. It offers composers a way to create music that is free from traditional tonality, an originality which is difficult to create using tonality. On the other hand, the difficulties of understanding and enjoying twelve-tone music is usually enough to dissuade musical audiences from listening to any pieces composed in this style. On top of this, composer writings on modernism implies a divide on “high and low art music,” music meant for academic settings and music meant for popular listening. This paper aims to explain why modern audiences have negative reactions when listening to twelve-tone music.

  • Pakistani Cinema: a Seventy Years Study of Rise and Fall Dr

    Pakistani Cinema: A Seventy Years Study of Rise and Fall Dr. Uzma Parveen, Tahira Tariq & Muhammad Tariq Siddiqui Abstract Pakistani Cinema is now more than 70 years old but it is not an established one as it must be. Pakistani film industry is still struggling to get a prominent position in comparison with the neighboring countries. Its history is full of success and failure stories. The industry was not fully recovered from the shocks and after socks of partition of India when a number of artists moved to India. There was another blow of partition dividing Pakistan into two halves Bangladesh and the present Pakistan. Again, Dacca having a prominent cinema culture was gone with some of the best artists. The films produced clearly shows that the local film industry has a lot of talent in every area of film production but there are a lot of reasons due to which successful combinations have not been able to sustain themselves long enough to contribute significantly. That is why there are a very few super hit productions. 181 Journal of Mass Communication, Vol. 12, May, 2015 The objective of this study is to collect and present the historical evolution of Pakistani Cinema and to give an overview of the factors that evidently contribute to the rise and fall of the cinema industry in different eras. This study follows Qualitative survey as the method of research. The study is divided into seven decades and convenient random sampling technique is used with the help of questioner to get the public view of the Pakistani cinema under study.

Mein tā koī khayāl I am just a thought Hun milī sā nāl khayāl dey Let my thought become a reality (Sachal Sarmast) Dedicated to the three most inspiring women in my life: my mother, Regula and Veengas Abstract: Folk music is a site of contestation to define national culture and language amongst the cultural elites in Pakistan. The elites who established cultural institutions for the promotion of folk music represented Pakistan either as a cultural unit with Islam and the Urdu language as its unifying bond, or resisted this position by considering Pakistan as a culturally diverse unit, in which national culture could emerge only through a synthesis of regional cultures and not through the imposition of a single culture and language.
