The ancient Tamil music is the historical predecessor of the carnatic music during the Sangam period Many poems of the classical Sangam literature were set to music. There are various references to this ancient musical tradition found in the ancient Sangam books such as ''Ettuthokai'' and ''Pattupattu''. The early narrative poem ''Cilappatikaram'', belonging to the post-Sangam period (5th or 6th century) also mentions various forms of music practiced by the Tamil people. Music was an integral part of the compositions of the Tamil Saiva saints such as Appar, Siva Prakasar, Thirugnana Sambanthar and Manikkavasagar during the Hindu revival period between the 6th and the 10th century. ==Sangam music== The Sangam age grammatical work ''Tolkappiyam'' mentions the various music pertaining to the five landscapes (''thinai'') of the Sangam literature. The five landscapes are associated with a particular mood of the poem and to give colour to these moods, each had a musical mood (''pann''), a melodic instrument (''yaazh'') and a percussion instrument (''parai''). For example, the ''neithal'' thinai, which dealt with the incidents around the seashore and the theme of elopement, had the musical mood of ''sevvazhi'', ''Vilari yaazh'' as the musical instrument and the ''navayapambai'' for the percussion. ''Tolkappiyam'' also mentions the musical form known as ''Paattu Vannam'' and various types of songs like ''Asiriapattu'', ''Neduven pattu'', ''Adivarai'', ''Seer'', ''Ahaval Osai'' and ''Vellosai'', which are classified on the basis of the musical quality, metrical structure etc. Most of the Sangam age poetry utilised one or more of these meters in their compositions. Poems of the ''Ettuthohai'' anthology, such as the ''Natrinai'', ''Paripaatal'' and ''Kaliththokai'' are extensively musical in nature and utilise various ''panns'' to create the mood.〔(Tamil Music )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ancient Tamil music」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
