 Early music   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Early music is a term used to describe pre-Classical Western music, from the earliest written music to 1500 at the earliest (Judd, 1998, p.4) and the end of the Baroque era in about 1750 at the latest.
Fragments of Greek music are, however, extant, most notably scraps from tragedy (a choral song by Euripides for his Orestes and an instrumental intermezzo from Sophocles' Ajax), a few hymns by Mesomedes of Crete (second century AS), and the Seikilos epitaph (dated variously between the 2nd century BCE and 1st century AD).
All music of antiquity is monophonic, as polyphony is an invention of the Middle Ages.
