	Medieval music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		In this era, music was both sacred and secular, although almost no early secular music has survived, and since notation was a relatively late development, reconstruction of this music, especially before the 12th century, is currently subject to conjecture (see authentic performance).
		The music of the troubadors and trouvÃ¨res was a vernacular tradition of monophonic secular song, probably accompanied by instruments, sung by professional, occasionally itinerant, musicians who were as skilled as poets as they were singers and instrumentalists.
		The music of the trouvÃ¨res was similar to that of the troubadors, but was able to survive into the thirteenth century unaffected by the war of extermination against the Albigenses.

		Music of the time is modal and difficult to listen to in an authentic way because of the modern ear's tendency to hear music in a diatonic context.
		The early music period is marked by the gradual rise and refinement of polyphony and counterpoint.
		Mediaeval music begins with Gregorian chant ; its written history in the earliest period is constrained by the need to develop musical notation, of which the neumes usually used to write Gregorian melodies are the earliest.

	Music and identity among European youth. Music as communication (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Music is one of the oldest forms of human communication, a human universal to be found in all cultures at all times, it is in many ways the most global aspect of the "global village".
		Rock music has been found to be particularly important for those adolescents who in some way reject the culture of their class background, providing them with a marker of social distance from the parent culture and its expectations.
		Studies have shown that, while children's music is popular up to the age of six, by the age of four up to 60% are also already interested in pop; and by the age of seven, 40% have pictures of music artists on the walls of their room.

	Early European Music -Part Two
		Thus the music that has come down to us from early times--that is, the music that modern musicologists have transcribed from old notation into modern notation--represents only a basic outline, a melodic and rhythmic and harmonic skeleton upon which to "improve" (or improvise) spontaneously during a performance.
		Thus, music historians today believe that most music of the Middle Ages is irretrievably lost because it was not composed on paper but only existed in the minds of the musicians.
		There are two reasons for this abundance of sacred music from early times: (1) those who were formally trained in music, monks and official members of the clergy, were primarily interested in preserving church music and (2) religion was the main integrating force in early European cultures, particularly during the Middle Ages.

	Early European Music -Part One
		The reason for this is that most of the music one hears on radio, television, and in the films today (folk, pop, jazz, classical, et al) is based upon musical principles that emerged during the Baroque Era--a period that made a conscious and dramatic break with the Renaissance past.
		Music making is the activity of Everyman, exacting the talents of variously trained amateurs who, with industry and practice, decorate their recreation and leisure in moments of social intercourse.
		Thus, since vocal music was composed in accordance with the natural ranges of the human voice and since instruments were used to substitute for (or double) vocal melodies, most instruments were constructed in a family of different sizes in imitation of the different ranges of the human voice.

		The European Union is expected to play a leading role in establishing an environment conducive to risk-taking and investment so as to ensure that Europe's creators (authors and performers) and industries can contribute to cultural diversity in the global digital economy.
		Today 80 % of regulation affecting the European music industry is now decided in Strasbourg and Brussels and yet the sector remains largely ignored from a cultural as well as industrial policy point of view.
		Music is a sector that has many small and medium sized companies that are under-capitalised at a time of adaptation to the requirements of the emerging digital market place.

		The European music sector benefits from a particularly rich diversity and is a very important sector in cultural, economic and social terms.
		In order to promote the cultural diversity of the European music sector, the national and European public authorities are being asked to support this sector and to implement a specific support programme for music, as they do with other cultural industries, namely the film industry.
		For EMO, the idea of the music industry being united in its request for a support programme, as well as for the concept of a music platform, must already be reflected in the pilot actions, even at such a small scale.

	Béla Bartók
		There he deepened his acquaintance with Wagner, though it was the music of Strauss, which he met at the Budapest premiere of Also sprach Zarathustra in 1902, that had most influence.
		Meanwhile his music was beginning to be influenced by this activity and by the music of Debussy that Kodály had brought back from Paris: both opened the way to new, modal kinds of harmony and irregular metre.
		The move from inward chromaticism to a glowing major (though modally tinged) tonality is basic to the Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta (1936) and the Sonata for Two Pianos and Percussion (1937), both written for performance in Switzerland at a time when the political situation in Hungary was growing unsympathetic.
