Abstract

Rhythmic melodious sound is Music. Man- made music is either vocal or instrumental. Tabala and Harmonium are the most popular instruments in music performance in India. Musical sounds can be natural music like the drumming of clouds, drizzle of Rain, roar of River fall, Blow of wind, Clinking of Birds, Crying of Foxes, and Sound of frogs and crickets at night. All plants and animal lives are influenced by music (viz. harassed by noise). In Indian philosophy, the meeting of Tune and Rhythm is music resonance in the mathematical equality of all playing instruments and vocals to make it music. This paper deals with the Mathematics in the Music of Tabala and Harmonium along with mathematical modeling of music and its application.
