Background of Music in History By:Natalie Townsend
What is Music?
Music has been around for centuries and we refer to it as the "universal language". Common rhythm began around the year 1200 and soon after, troubadours singing "folk" music started appearing in parts of Europe. In the 14th century, sacred music was quite common. During the renaissance around the year 1500 one of the most significant events occurred the birth of a composer. 1750 to 1820 is considered the classical period with the piano being a composer's instrument of choice. The appearance of composers, of course, spawned instrumental music and the creation of the instruments such as the piano and lute.
Music has been the creation of man, which touches the soul and also helps man to sympathetically manifest unspoken desire and humanity in him. Due to the high effect of music in the life of human being, it is capable of breaking boundaries to unit people from different background and cultural heritage. There are lots to say about music making it one of the most important factors in the life of human being of all races and religions.
