		Most ancient Greek philosophers believed that listening to music based on certain of the modes in use at the time was beneficial to the development of a young person’s character, and warned that listening to music based on certain other modes would have harmful effects.
		The so-called music of the spheres was thought by Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras in the 6th century bc—and by later classical and medieval philosophers of the Western world—to be a perfectly harmonious music, inaudible on Earth, produced by the movement of the stars and planets.
		Music is pleasing to its loyal audiences who have learned to distinguish nuances of style and may be able to identify their favorite performers by sound.

	Popular music
		Popular music is music that is not something else (usually 'folk' or 'art' music).
		Popular music is associated with (produced for or by) a particular social group.
		As noted earlier, these have a distinct character from popular music: either they are transmitted by word of mouth rather than in organized fashion (children's songs, authentic folk music) or else they are produced to fill the needs of a particular social institution (church, aristocracy, the military, or the state).

	Carnatic Beginner's List
		As in Indian music in general, vocal rendition is the primary means of musical expression, and in fact most compositions performed by instrumentalists are exact copies of vocal works.
		The extent to which these performances differ from vocal performances is due only to the individual style of the artist, and is in fact no greater than the variation in style between different vocalists.
		Finally, the extended performance of the Syama Sastri kriti "Saroja Dhala Netri" is a good example of a vocal piece rendered with all elements of improvisation, from opening unmeasured introduction on voice and violin (alapana), to interpolations between lines (niraval and kalpana swara), to concluding percussion duet.
