	Music Outside The Church
		Up to this, our study of music in the Christian Era has traced the development of the art as fostered by the Christian Church, and mainly among the people of Southern Europe, in whom there was a strong admixture of the Latin blood and spirit.
		The music of the Church lacked measure or rhythm, as we may say, while the music of the people, closely associated with dancing, was rhythmic.
		Their poetry and music were not elevated, for the members of the Guild were not of a standing and an education to give them real skill in the fine arts.

	Music publishing in Baroque Europe
		It is generally accepted that baroque music "began" — if one can use such a term — in Italy, pointing particularly at Corelli as the originator of much that was to become commonplace in baroque musical forms.
		Though Italy had pioneered the printing of lined music manuscript paper, actual scores were still printed using movable type, which was expensive, cumbersome, and too inflexible to reproduce clearly all the ties and other markings which are essential if the composer is to convey his intentions to performers with any degree of accuracy.
		Another interesting side-effect was to spread Italian music throughout northern Europe, at the same time encouraging Italian composers to write for a wider musical taste.

	PBS - American Roots Music : Instruments and Innovations - The Banjo
		If the fiddle was the primary contribution to American music from northern Europe, the banjo was the primary contribution from Africa.
		The banjo has been called "the outstanding American contribution to the music of folklore," and can be traced back in some form to sub-Saharan cultures of the 13th century.
		Scruggs, who was as much a structural engineer as musical genius, also experimented with ways to improve the instrument's sound, and devices like the "Scruggs tuner" which allowed the player to bend notes by tightening and loosening the strings.

	The Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod - Holy Ground and Counter-Cultural Music-Page 3
		Specifically, with respect to music, the notion of countercultural theology is not a thinly-veiled attempt (as critics might have it) to maintain a sort of status quo tradition, perhaps devoted to the 17th- and 18th- century music of northern Europe.
		For the church to use countercultural music is simply to rely upon the full multiplicity of the church's traditions, and to draw on the music created by the church's finest living composers.
		We must seek musical expressions that come from the church's most talented poets and composers, insisting on texts of great theological integrity, clothed in music that is always well-crafted.

		One is almost tempted to conclude that music’s function in the city is that of a designer drug, customised for particular social occasions, whereas “out there”, it’s about the search for contemplativeness and the individual’s “inner” journey.
