The Indian music characteristics are evident when you compare it with Western music. In both systems, you will find some essential differences: Indian music is based on a melody or single notes played in a given order. In contrast, Western music is based on harmony: a group of letters known as chords played together. Dr. Rabindranath Tagore, who was well familiar with both the systems, explained the difference as follows: “The world by daylight stands for Western music which is a flowing concourse of vast harmony, composed of concord and discord and many disconnected fragments. And the night world stands for Indian music: one pure, deep and tender rage. Both touch our hearts, and yet both are contradictory in spirit. But this is natural. At the very root, nature is divided into two, day and night, unity and variety, finite and infinite.

Indian men live in the realm of the night; we are inspired by the sense of the One and Infinite. Indian music draws away from the listener beyond the boundaries of daily joys and sorrows. It takes us to the solitary space of renunciation, which exists at the root of the universe, while Western music leads us to dance through a limitless rise and fall of human joy and grief.

” Indian classical music stirs our spiritual sense and discipline – a longing for a realization of self-salvation. Singing is a worshipping act and not an intellectual exhibition of mastery of the technique of a raga. In Western culture, singing is a formal and secular exercise and does not involve piety or devotion compared to Indian music. The teacher-student (Guru-Shishya) tradition in Indian music is responsible for the deep dedication and attachment of the student to the teacher. In the West, a music teacher is taken as a hired person who teaches lessons, and there is no deep attachment between the teacher and student.

Like Western music, Indian music is based on melody and rhythm, but it has no foundation of harmony, which is significant in Western music. Indian music is a “model” based on the relationship between the permanent individual notes known as the tonic and successive notes. This is why Tanpura (drone) is played in the background of Indian music, which reminds one of the tonic notes.

The Indian classical music system is horizontal; one note follows the other, while the Western music is vertical; many notes are played simultaneously. Yehudi Menuhin, the noted musician, highlights the differentiates both systems by describing Indian music as: “for appreciating Indian music one has to adopt a different set of values totally… one must orientate oneself and at least for the concerned period, forget the passing of time and sink into a thematic, almost hypnotic trance. The rhythmic and melodic features of Indian music that are repetitive acquires an extraordinary charm and fascination… despite the domination of this hypnotic mood’s domination, which is an Indian music characteristic, actively frees the mind.”

The place of “composition” in these two systems is notably different. In Western music, the music is first composed by the composer and arranges in notation: then the musicians play this composition under the guidance of a music conductor. Here improvisation hardly takes place, and the performance value lies in the uniformity and the pre-determined conduct of tone and music speed (tempo). In Indian music, while the melody, grammar, and rhythm are fixed, the ingenuity and skill of the musician lie in his creativity and improvisation, especially in mood evocation and rasa of a particular raga.

In this context, an international musicologist has written: “In the West, solid blocks of music are constructed. After carving out like building stones, the seven degrees of the diatonic scale lined up and placed on top of each other with cleverly worked out harmony and counterpoint. In this way, fantastic edifices in sound are erected. In Indian classical music, no one can divide sound into blocks; instead, it is refined into a wire-thin thread. The sound is stretched out to refine it to an extreme point of delicacy… No standard materials, no building of three or five floors, but just like silk thread which unfold and rises and falls and evokes a world of sensations and feelings.”

In the music of India, melody and rhythm offer a variety of subtleties, which is not possible in Western music. Indian notes are divided into shorties (22 microtones), whereas Western music consists of 12 semitones. The microtones are more subtle than semitones. These microtones adorned with grave tones (game as) create a magical effect. Western music can produce many feelings and moods. At the same time, Indian music can make a principal emotion or a spirit in a rage.

An Indian musician improvises with his creative genius within a raga’s framework, but in Western classical music, except in jazz, such improvisation is inconceivable. Moreover, the percussion in Indian music emphasizes its rhythm. It is only through keeping one’s mind and ears open that one can appreciate the melodies and sequences different from one’s own. This applies to Indian audiences attending Western music performances and to Western audiences attending music of India concerts. Just remember that both music systems are complementary, like two halves of classical music.

The 1958 Chevrolet Biscayne and Delray series were new for 1958, with Chevrolet offering elegance and luxury far beyond its price class! Both cars had that glamorous sports car look new on all 1958 Chevrolet sedans like the Delray and newly named Biscayne. First produced in 1958 by General Motors, the Chevrolet Biscayne was a mid-priced car called the Two-Ten in 1955, 1956, and 1957. Only two doors and four doors 1958 Chevrolet Biscayne sedans were produced.

Like the more expensive Bel Air Impala and Bel Air models, the 1958 Chevrolet Biscayne offered dual road lights, gull-winged rear fenders, and new thin-line pillar styling. There was no compromise with roominess with wide doors for easy in and out. Biscayne interiors had bright basket weaves and leather-grain vinyl in shades that matched the exterior color. The last Biscayne was produced in 1972.

The Delray was also a mid-priced car in 1954, 1955, 1956, and 1957. Called the Two-Ten Delray Club Coupe, the Delray was just a higher-priced Two-Ten two-door sedan with upgraded interiors. The 1958 Chevrolet Delray was Chevy’s budget-priced series for 1958, and for the first time, the Delray name appeared in Chevy script along with the quarter panels. One 1958 Chevrolet magazine ad stated – “Like going places in high style at low cost? Look no farther than the four-door Delray.”

Along with the four-door sedan, the 1958 Chevrolet Delray was offered in a two-door sedan and two-door utility sedan. The two-door utility sedan was a businessman’s coupe without a back seat for extra storage of products that traveling sales associates carried. 1958 was the last year for the Chevrolet Delray. The Chevrolet Biscayne took over as the budget-priced series in 1959 when the Chevrolet Impala was elevated to the top-of-the-line status, and the Chevrolet Bel Air became Chevy’s mid-priced car.
