Preface

The history of music is as old as the history of human beings All the great civilizations had their own musical traditions. The term music is derived from mousa, the Greek word for muse In ancient Greece, the word mousike was used to mean any of the arts or sciences governed by the Muses. Later, in Rome, ars musica embraced poetry as well as what we now think of as music. Our current understanding of music as being something which is abstract and has nothing to do with language is relatively modern.

Over the centuries, music evolved from devotional, folk, and tribal forms to a more structural form Today, with the commercial dissemination of music through the various media providing music as a constant background the general populace has largely dismissed much of the music produced using bold, new, or experimental styles. preferring to turn to the forms and genres with which it is most familiar.

The present book provides comprehensive and authentic information about the history of music. Besides narrating the musical history of all great civilisations of the world it also covers the evolution and development of music during the past centuries. This work will serve as a highly useful and authoritative reference tool not only for teachers and students of music but also for all general readers who are interested in music.
