Indian music is that practiced by the first people living in America. Also called Indians, Native Americans are the indigenous peoples whose presence precedes any Western colonization. Organized in true empire or single tribe, we find traces across the continent where there are the North American Indians, Meso-American Indians, Native Americans in Caribbean and South American Indians (Native American drums for sale).
Following the extermination initiated by Hernan Cortes, the pre-Columbian music has almost disappeared with the great cultures of this region. The music was an essential cultic importance since accompanied the sacrificial ceremonies and was also associated with many dances, or just domestic activities.
The Yumans (Pomos, MIWAK, Luiseno, Catalineno, Gabrielino, Mojave, and Maricopa Havasupai) of pentatonic scales wear without semitones, simple rhythms, a register of an octave in a cast singing, without tension. They also wear a controlled elevation of height of sound component structured into sections melody notes.
This area includes the eastern United States and Canada and is the Mississippi River to Atlantic; it is distinguished by the unique use of antiphonal or responsorial structure by North American Indians. The songs are complex rhythmically, with frequent changes of meter, shouts and pentatonic scales anhemitonic (without semitone).
Archaeological research has demonstrated the existence of North Indian music in seventh century, but the first written records go back only to time of conquistadors and the first academic studies began in nineteenth century. Vocal music is generally syllabic and can solo, choir or responsorial, in unison or more rarely in polyphony. It's accompanied by drums, rhombus and blades whose rate increases metric. Among the text songs (often interspersed with syllabic singing), there are secret (for ceremonies) and public (for history, crops, accreditation, etc.).
Finally, there is also an important baroque repertoire brought by Jesuit missionaries in seventeenth century, and only some Native Americans (the Mojos and Chiquitos) are still custodians through copied partition generation Indian music is divided into music of Indians of North, Central and South America. Both the music of Inuit in Alaska as the music sounds is thus counted among Peruvians. A common feature is that the base is formed by the vocal music, drums and sometimes flutes. Purely instrumental music is less common than vocal. Also, the instruments used is limited.
It's simple, monophonic, discreet and ornamented characterized by short melodies paired (AA BB CC AA BB CC) and repeated the register less than an octave (perfect fifth) and scales (sometimes ditonique or tritone), with songs in relaxed voice. This style has spread to "Great Plains" by the Ghost Dance religion. Due to its isolation, its considered to be the original source of many others of continent.
The ancient Indian music from the ancient cultures can only be reconstructed through archaeological finds and transmitted reports. In worship was that music in any case an important stage, and there must have been handled many various instruments, including finds of various shapes and sizes drums and slit drums, flutes (and flutes), horns, trumpets (even animal horns) and shells show.
