	PBS - American Roots Music : Into the Classroom - Historical Background
		Musical cross-fertilization was also hastened by the development of communication technology such as the wax cylinder recorder, the phonograph, juke boxes, the motion picture camera and the radio, which spread regionally based music to broad audiences across the country.
		The history of American roots music is intricately woven with individual and collective struggles for social change and freedom from oppression, a dynamic powerfully illustrated by the history of the song "We Shall Overcome," which became an anthem in the Civil Rights movement.
		The continuing popularity of roots music throughout the course of the 20th and into the 21st centuries is testimony to its appeal and vitality as a set of musical genres that speak to - and of - the human condition, through very different historical periods.

	Music History Course Descriptions
		While the question of American music is often approached from the perspective of the history of jazz, or the history of American popular music, this class approaches that question primarily from the perspective of concert music.
		This course seeks to position the music of the French baroque in the two settings for which most of it was created, the court of Louis XIV and public venues of Paris ('la cour et la ville,' as they were known to their contemporaries).
		Many of the styles of performance and of reading music from that time are unfamiliar to modern performers, who lack the training to make the deviations from the notated music that are necessary for correct and artistic performances of early music.

	History of music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Early music is a general term used to describe music in the European classical tradition from after the fall of the Roman Empire, in 476 CE, until the end of the Baroque era in the middle of the 18th century.
		Much of the later secular music of the early Renaissance evolved from the forms, ideas, and the musical aesthetic of the troubadors, courtly poets and itinerant musicians, whose culture was largely exterminated during the Albigensian Crusade in the early 13th century.
		Music in the generation after Josquin explored increasing complexity of counterpoint; possibly the most extreme expression of this tendency is in the music of Nicolas Gombert, whose contrapuntal complexities influenced early instrumental music, such as the canzona and the ricercar, ultimately culminating in Baroque fugal forms.

		With the rise of humanism, sacred music began for the first time to break free of the confines of the Church, and a school of composers trained in the Netherlands mastered the art of polyphony in their settings of sacred music.
		Of course, secular music thrived during this period, and instrumental and dance music was performed in abundance, if not always written down.
		Many of these Nationalist composers turned to indigenous history and legends as plots for their operas, and to the popular folk melodies and dance rhythms of their homelands as inspiration for their symphonies and instrumental music.
