Answer to Question 1


  • Song forms are unique to dance.

  • May include a musician chanting syllables to match dancer's footwork.

  • Dancers interpret the meaning of the lyrics, which are often beautiful love poetry.



Answer to Question 2


  • Indian classical music is transmitted as an oral tradition passed down through history by memory. The music is written down only in sketchy form to nudge the memory.

  • Since this music is not written down in precise music notation by a composer, no definitive version of the music exists. Therefore, the musical renditions may become highly variable with a new and unique treatment of the song coming into existence each time the song is performed.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
