Music in the Far East
India

The principal musical kinds in this country can be watched at the royal courts and in temples by 2000 years ago. The music in that time relies on notes groups named ragas and talas rhythms. Indian music is usually composed by three major elements: an instrument interprets the solo melody, another instrument achieves the accompaniment and these two are the accompanists for drums.

In Japan the music accompanied dances, where the participants wore very beautiful costumes. The singers are accompanists by instruments that were named "shamiseus". One of the ancient Japanese instruments is "Kato". The singer presses its cords with a hand and he pinches them with the other.

Beijing Opera by China is a kind of opera that grew at the end of the twenty-light century. The opera included dance, acrobatics and song.

The Indonesian orchestras are named "gamelane". They are composed by percussion instruments. "Gamelane" accompanies the parties and the religious festivals. In these shows were sometimes conversant and short plays of puppet show (Punch and Judy show).
