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, Vedic philosophy and native Indian sounds but also by the Persian performance practices of the Mughals.
Later periods saw further evolution in music theory and the purana period was characterized by numerous references to singing, musicians and musical instruments.
Music and dance flourished during this period, and the Hindu musician Tansen is still well-remembered.

 1847 Constitution of Liberia
Greenleaf's draft proposal essentially containing clauses for a constitution (and not a complete draft) was first sent to the Liberian Commonwealth by the ACS in June 1846 with the ACS Secretary Joseph Tracy making clear that they were only intended as a guide to the impending deliberations of the constitutional convention.
Among the miscellany are clauses prohibiting slavery, protecting the property rights of women and decreeing that only persons of color may be admitted to citizenship and granted the right to hold real property in the republic.
By referendum the Constitution was approved by the "qualified voters" of the Commonwealth on September 27, 1847, and in October 1847, Joseph Jenkins Roberts was elected first president of the new republic.

 Bimodalism -- A New School of Harmony in Music | Enrique Ubieta   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Bitonality (or polytonality) is a contrapuntal style of writing music, where each of two or more diatonic melodies is written in a different tonality, so that all may sound simultaneously.
As for serial form, however, one may argue that its perception is more visual than aural: When one reads a serial music score, the perception of its form is clear to the eye; but when one then listens to the same score, the ear no longer perceives its form as did the eye.
Therefore, it is unwise to separate form from tonality as serial and polytonal music have done, as there is no way to discern form, if one does not present it to the ear within a certain atmosphere of tonality.
