ANALYSIS OF EMOTIONS DUE TO VARIOUS ASPECTS OF CARNATIC AND WORLD MUSIC BY B.SAI VENKATESH ABSTRACT MUSIC AFFECTS EMOTIONS AND THIS IS A UNIVERSAL TRUTH. CARNATIC MUSIC HAS A WIDE REPERTOIRE OF RAGAS AND HENCE HOUSES A WIDE RANGE OF EMOTIONS. IN THIS DISSERTATION, THE EMOTIONS CAUSED BY THE SWARAS AND OTHER ASPECTS OF CARNATIC MUSIC SUCH AS RAGAS ARE ANALYSED, BOTH QUALITATIVELY AND QUANTITATIVELY, SUCH THAT THE EMOTIONAL EFFECT OF ANY RAGA CAN BE GIVEN AS A “PROFILE” CONSISTING OF PERCENTAGES OF VARIOUS EMOTIONS. THEN A NOTATION SCHEME CONVENIENT FOR EMOTIONAL ANALYSIS IS PROPOSED. THE MUSICAL SYSTEMS FROM DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE WORLD ARE THEN CONSIDERED. TECHNIQUES ARE THEN STATED TO APPLY CHORDS TO CARNATIC MUSIC TO ENHANCE THE EMOTIONAL CONTENT. A FOUR DIMENSIONAL THEORY OF MUSIC AND EMOTIONS IS THEN PROPOSED. FINALLY, A UNIVERSAL QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE EMOTIONAL ANALYSIS PROCEDURE IS SPECIFIED, WHICH CAN BE APPLIED TO ANY MUSICAL PIECE/SYSTEM FROM ANY PART OF THE WORLD.
