Origins of Music

Hello fellow bloggers and Todd. Today on this fine day I will discuss the very first origins of music. From things that I have researched some think that the invention of music never came because it has always been here. The website suggests that various nature noises such as birds chirping, water falling, and wind blowing are all examples of music that have been here for,well, since the beginning of time.

The first thing I think of when the words origins of music come in that specific order is all those early composers like Beethoven. These composers influenced music extremely and changed the world. Other music such as the music from Africa that was brought by the slaves to America greatly influenced the music in America in the up-coming years. It is crazy how different cultures have different types of music and instruments but at the same time even the most tone-deaf person can acknowledge a nicely played tune when it is done.

  1. A lot of older composers based their symphonies off of noices found in nature such as the symphony "Spring".

  2. I enjoy music that is based off of nature. It brings a lot of imagery to mind.
