4.9/5 (12374 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from The American History and Encyclopedia of Music: Musical Instruments The fact of the universality of musical instruments and musical expression among men will not fail to impress the attentive reader of this book. Differences of time, place, race and degree of civilization have modified the form of this expression, but have not eliminated the fact. The degraded African savage and the intellectual Greek are alike in this musical impulse. The Asiatic peoples, for ages shut away from the rest of the world, have had their own musical art and musical instruments. Such variations as are to be observed in the music and in the means of its expression among the different races of people are to be ascribed to their varying national characteristics, involving somewhat different demands and needs. It seems plain that only with the beginning of the Christian era did music enter upon its real life of progressive development. That it had being and use in the earlier civilizations is true, but always in a very simple and rudimentary form. The possession of high intellectual and artistic culture, as in the case of the Greeks and Romans, did not include a musical art of such perfection and beauty as to hold our attention to it as an ideal; a homage which is at once paid in other fields of their artistic endeavor.
