Hindustani classical music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (2165 words)
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.
