Through this investigation, it can be concluded
that both Guillaume de Machaut’s La Messe De Notre Dame, and Mutthuswamy
Dikshitar’s Mahaganapathim – Naattai share
multiple similar musical aspects, even though they are evidently from two complete
different cultures. Initially, one may not notice the similarities at all when
these pieces are played as both pieces seem to strongly oppose each other, but
after a close comparison, analyzing the various musical aspects and linking them
both together, these common musical traits somewhat are more noticeable and obvious
in both works. For that reason, it is safe to say that despite music constantly
undergoing change and transformation across time, space and culture, there are
and will be certain fundamental features that will remain common throughout,
making music a universal language.
