Who invented music and how they invened it
Answers
Pythagoras was probably the first to figure out the mathematics of sound and soon forbidden harmonies such as sixes and thirds were born. As inventors created new instruments, other musical inventors became inspired to create their own. Soon new temperaments were discovered as the industrial revolution was able to mass produce the most popular instruments to perfection.
Music has always been used for supplication and thanksgiving purposes. Tribes would gather around fires to sing and pray for war, peace, rain, sun, protection or survival. The church refined that purpose. Music was used to re-tell and remember stories of the past. The Psalms in the bible, for instance, are a collection of songs retelling stories, precepts and history of the church and her peoples’ struggles or joys.
It was soon discovered that music can be used to communicate across battlefields and instruct the troops what to do next. Percussion, brass, organs or loud instruments such as the bagpipes were used. Today, music is used to sell sex, products and images.
It is interesting that survival, worship, war and sex have been the driving force behind the evolution of music. For most people, today, it is merely entertainment. We have technology and blogs to replace it as a medium of communication.
I don’t need to sing you a love song when a card will do. I don’t need to make up a song to remember history, a feud when I can post it to Facebook. I don’t need to compose a song to remember where the treasure is buried. I can mark it on my GPS.
Music is found in every known culture, past and present, varying widely between times and places. Since all people of the world, including the most isolated tribal groups, have a form of music, it may be concluded that music is likely to have been present in the ancestral population prior to the dispersal of humans around the world. Consequently, music may have been in existence for at least 55,000 years and the first music may have been invented in Africa and then evolved to become a fundamental constituent of human life.[1][2]
A culture's music is influenced by all other aspects of that culture, including social and economic organization and experience, climate, and access to technology. The emotions and ideas that music expresses, the situations in which music is played and listened to, and the attitudes toward music players and composers all vary between regions and periods. "Music history" is the distinct subfield of musicology and history which studies music
