History of music

 

The history of music covers the historical  development and presence of music  from prehistoric times  to present day. Though defenitoons of music  vary wildly throughout the world, every known culture partakes in it, and music is thus considered a cultural. The orogins of music  remain highly contentious; commentators often relate it to the origin of language, with much disagreement surrounding whether music arose before, after or simultaneously with language. Many other theories exist, having been proposed by scholars from a wide range of disciplines, though none have achieved wide approval. Most cultures have their own mythical origins concerning the invention of music, generally rooted in their respective mythological, religious or philosophical beliefs.
