	Early Music - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Fragments of Greek music are, however, extant, most notably scraps from tragedy (a choral song by Euripides for his Orestes and an instrumental intermezzo from Sophocles' Ajax), a few hymns by Mesomedes of Crete (second century AD), and the Seikilos epitaph (dated variously between the 2nd century BCE and 1st century AD).
		All music of antiquity is monophonic, as polyphony is an invention of the Middle Ages.
		Music lovers who have watched the "authenticity" (period instrument) wars of the 1980s and 1990s could be excused for forgetting that Richard Taruskin is a musicologist and professor by trade, not a professional critic.

	What is Early Music?
		Their early entry into this repertory was facilitated by various embryonic musicological revival efforts in England in the 1800s and even notably the 1700s, and buoyed by interest in Renaissance music among early 20th century English composers.
		By the 1950s, early music was a definite phenomenon, with such performers as Safford Cape, Alfred Deller, Noah Greenberg, etc. Since then, the number of early music performers has increased steadily, as has audience interest, to the point where early music sales are more or less equal to those of non-early classical music.
		Early music performers have a history of going directly to written and manuscript sources, and consequently not basing their interpretations so much on what other performers have done, but more on their own direct intuition of the sources themselves.

	Early Japanese Music
		The musical life of the T'ang court was extremely varied and multicultural; a formal set of rules, called the "Ten Styles of Music" governed the hierarchy and use of Chinese and foreign musical styles in court.
		Movement is the basis of music in that music gives sound to the movement of the body—it's not overly simplistic to say that music is the sound of the human body in motion.
		Exoteric music, that is, music designed to be comprehended and performed by a large number of people, tends to be closer to the origins of music in speech and movement.

	About Early American Music
		Colonial music was not so much music written in America before the Revolution as it was music that was brought here and helped define the people who were to make a new country.
		There were fifes, recorders (in early America these were called common or English flutes), and transverse flutes (called then German flutes), but it is doubtful that there were any pennywhistles, despite their numbers in the mouths of little tourists at Williamsburg.
		The other type of music was often referred to as "field music." This consisted of the fifers and drummers who played during the march, during battles, and for the various camp duty calls which regulated soldiers' lives.

	THE REBEC PAGE
		In its early history, the rebec was seen as a court instrument (thus several depictions of Kings playing the instrument, or minstrels playing for the biblical King David).
		It survives briefly into the late 18th and early 19th centuries as the "kit" violin, but it would be difficult to prove that the "kit" or "pocket fiddle" was really a rebec and not but simplified violin, or possibly a hybrid of the two.
		Early on it is suggested that the strings be exclusively stopped with the nails to firmly hold the string, though later on the pads of the fingers are also mentioned as a method of stopping the strings (though even 16th Century masters continue to promote usage of the nails).
