		The folk music of Aquitaine is based on instruments like the hurdy-gurdy, boha, flute, accordion, caremèra and violin.

	Music of Africa - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Music of Africa
		The music of western, central, and southern Africa is based on rhythm much more than melody or harmony, and so percussion instruments, especially drums, almost always play a prominent part.
		Music is almost always a group activity with an emphasis on polyphonic forms resulting from group improvisation on short, simple themes, and cross rhythms formed by playing different rhythmic patterns together.
		Much instrumental music also imitates the tone patterns of speech, and many musical instruments are able to ‘talk’: the so-called talking drums in particular are often used to communicate with one another, or to address the dancers, either praising them or giving instructions.

	ORB -- Introduction to Medieval Music
		Yet the music that does survive forms a sumptuous legacy, ranging from the sacred to the profane and from monophonic texture with a single melody sung alone to the richly polyphonic with several independent voices operating simultaneously.
		Most serious music in the Middle Ages, both sacred and secular, was song, involving words as an important element (not abstract musical design, as in the more recent European musical tradition.) Therefore aspects of text-music relations, such as liturgical function or poetic form, are an essential element in understanding the music.
		Hildegard's musical languages falls outside of the traditional modal practice of her day, which some have attributed to her lack of traditional musical training, but her literary efforts were sanctioned by the Pope, and the care with which her manuscripts were created reflects the respect she had within her community.

	ORB -- Medieval Women and Music
		Indeed, though relatively few women music scribes are known, many of their sisters may have legacies that hide amongst the unsigned manuscripts of the era.
		Her repertory of sequences and antiphons (sacred songs) stand somewhat outside of the musical tradition, for she writes in a loosely formulaic melodic language that works more by motivic allusion than by strict adherence to modal range and standard melodic gestures.
		The lands that Eleanor of Aquitaine (1122-1204) brought to her marriages, first to Louis VII of France and then to Henry II of England, made her one of the most politically influential figures of her day, but her cultural endeavors had an equally profound impact on European civilization.

		Aquitaine combines a mild, coastal climate with humidity in the interior and winter snow in the mountains.
		In 1137, the fifteen year old Eleanor of Aquitaine inherited the title to the Duchy of Aquitaine and became themost rich and powerful woman in France and at this young age was also wed to meet political means.
		Her grandfather William IX of Aquitaine was the first known troubadour and his encouragement of this music based on the regional dialect - langue d'oc - and favoured by the aristocracy was extensive.

		We know that music was sung, and that dancers danced, and poets wrote poems, but when it comes to the music, we don't know exactly what type of music they were performing.
		Sometimes if you open up the CD notes to something that is claiming to be Andalusi music, you might find that the text itself, the words, are authentically Andalusian, but that the musical composition is the inspiration of the tradition as interpreted by a modern performer, a modern composer.
		Rather than trying to think of Arab music as the origin of flamenco, or even its influence on flamenco, it's probably better to just note and be interested in the many shared aspects that both of these traditions have.

	The Musical Influence of Eleanor of Aquitaine
		Her lifelong patronage of the troubadour music of her home region directly resulted in the introduction of this oldest known genre of medieval secular music throughout France, and to a lesser extent, the Norman court of England.
		Richard the Lion-Hearted, was a troubadour himself, and her two daughters from Louis, Marie and Aelis helped to spread the music of the trouveres throughout northern France once the troubadour movement started to fall out of favor in the thirteenth century.
		Eleanor's impact as a patron of troubadour music was an essential accomplishment of her life, yet much of her musical influence is displaced by her political importance as a keystone figure in the medieval history of France and England; this is evident upon review of any historical text concerning her, including information on the Internet.

		Music was such an important part of medieval worship that various religious orders manifested their charisisms in the music they used.
		The recording represents the "living musical tradition" of Hauterive and combines music from the Cistercian version of the mass of St. Benedict's day, a vesper's hym ste to a medieval melody in the 17th century, and texts adapted in the 20th century from a 12th century exordium from Citeaux.
		Music on the disk for the liturgy is taken from somewhat later manuscripts, although all in the Plainchant idiom -- the Passau Antiphonal, a 15th century Gradual and some late medieval Hungarian manuscripts.

		Informed of their views by Prosper of Aquitaine, the holy Doctor once more expounded, in "De Prædestinatione Sanctorum," how even these first desires for salvation are due to the grace of God, which therefore absolutely controls our predestination.
		In 426 the holy Bishop of Hippo, at the age of seventy-two, wishing to spare his episcopal city the turmoil of an election after his death, caused both clergy and people to acclaim the choice of the deacon Heraclius as his auxiliary and successor, and transferred to him the administration of externals.
