Here we have an interesting discussion that goes beyond music theory, sometimes into the philosophical. Really, when it comes to music theory, most of the fuss is about harmonic movement. At least, as regards the European tradition of music. Prior to the temperament of the scale, accomplished in the time of J.S. Bach, the music of the world mostly consisted of drones, with little or no harmonic movement whatsoever. In fact, Indians think of Western music as boring because we use fixed scales without microtonality and Westerners find Indian music boring because there is no harmonic movement. Harmonic movement itself can be considered a wholly European invention. Here, we cannot talk about music theory in the European sense, so we need to look at the Indian 'scales' (ragas) and the way the rhythm moves. That's all we have to work with so, discussing this music was a challenge for me...but a fun one!
