	Music of Italy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Modern Musical notation may have begun in Italy, although the oldest surviving examples of music notation are from Regensburg in Germany, and the point is much debated by scholars: notation may have been invented in Frankish monasteries during the time of Charlemagne.
		The earliest notation arose from the neumes of plainchant.

	A Short History of Appalachian Traditional Music
		Musical traditions from home were important links to the past and were cherished and passed down to the next generation.

	IS MUSIC NEUTRAL? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		When you enter a freshman theory class as a music major in any discipline of music, among the first things you would study are the "ingredients" (neutral elements) of music: melody, rhythm, and harmony.
		In other words, rock music is only bad because it has been used for bad purposes in our culture and because rock music has centered itself for a number of years on bad subject matter (rebellion, immorality, drugs, etc.).
		Concert music (i.e., a symphony or another instrumental piece of music) will sometimes vary from this order because of a desire to showcase the talents of the composer or the dexterity of the performer.

	What Is the Piedmont Blues? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The Piedmont blues (or ``East Coast blues'') is thought to have developed about ten or fifteen years after blues in Mississippi and Texas.
		Whatever the reason, when blues was recorded in the twenties, the Piedmont blues had had less time to evolve before the style was formalized on commercial recordings than other folk blues forms did.
		The fingerpicking technique of Piedmont blues, which looms large in the definition of the genre, is thought to be an adaptation of African-American banjo playing: the thumb plays rhythm on the bass strings and two, three, or even four fingers pick the others, though a slide is often used.

	The Music of Piedmont Sorpid
		With an almost complete abandonment of previous tape manipulated musical experiments as found on "The sugars of the eyes", "Estes places" dabbles with the creative possibilities of 4 tracking, experimental instrumentation, samplers and close micing.
		Drawing from post-rock, minimalistic and electronic music, with a strong attraction to mellow, soothing sounds, Piedmont Sorpid tends to generate off of these basis points while continuing to explore the natures of tape and recording device manipulations.
		Meanwhile the music's influences and inspirations eventually transform into twisted themes and soundscapes, left unpredictable and indescribable both in creation and to the general listener.

		The post-Strokes milieu is a world where "rock is back," where articles in the music press are rarely printed that don't mention the unholy four (The Strokes, The Hives, The White Stripes, and The Vines), and where any band of note features the article "the" in their name.
		But they are young, have attitude (and charisma, natch) to spare, and take their influences from an era of rock that was at its heyday around the time of Piedmont members' infancy.
		The Piedmont Charisma (the band doesn't use the article on its album covers, but hey, neither did The Ramones) has, unwittingly or not, found itself lumped into the new wave of new wave niche, a classification that includes oh so trendy groups like The Faint, Hot Hot Heat, The Liars, et.
