Most likely the first rhythm instruments or percussion instruments involved the clapping of hands, stones hit together, or other things that are useful to keep a beat. The oldest known Neanderthal hyoid bone with the modern human form was found in 1983, indicating that the Neanderthals had language, because the hyoid supports the voice box in the human throat. The larynx (voice box) is like a wind instrument. The human voice can make many different kinds of sounds. The first musical instrument used by humans was probably the voice. This may, of course, also serve to defend the territory. Monkeys have been seen beating hollow logs.
Songbirds use song to protect their territory, or to attract a mate. It may also serve as entertainment (games), or have practical uses, like attracting animals when hunting. Shamans sometimes imitate sounds that are heard in nature. Human music may echo these phenomena using patterns, repetition and tonality.
The first music was probably made trying to imitate sounds and rhythms that occurred naturally. Musicians of Amun, Tomb of Nakht, 18th Dynasty, Western ThebesĮven in the stone age people made music. p10 Musical experience and the music, together, are called phenomena, and the activity of describing phenomena is called phenomenology. According to Thomas Clifton, music is "a certain reciprocal relation established between a person, his behavior, and a sounding object". These and other attempts, do not capture all aspects of music, or leave out examples which definitely are music. A different approach is to list the qualities music must have, such as, sound which has rhythm, melody, pitch, timbre, etc. It is an art form, and opinions come into play. There is no simple definition of music which covers all cases. Timbre is what makes a clarinet sound different from an oboe, and what makes one person's voice sound different from another person. The sort of sound might be harsh, gentle, dry, warm, or something else. The "timbre" of a sound is the way that a sound is interesting. This is a French word (pronounced the French way: "TAM-br"). This means whether it is quiet or loud or somewhere in between. Every tune has a rhythm that can be tapped. Rhythm is the way the musical sounds and silences are put together in a sequence. Tunes are made of notes that go up or down or stay on the same pitch. There are four things which music has most of the time: If a person bangs saucepans or pots in a rhythmic way, they are making a simple type of music. If someone bangs saucepans while cooking, it makes noise. Music is sound that has been organized by using rhythm, melody or harmony. It’s interesting to learn how the piece works and what inspired the material - rhythms drawn from the letters of six American cities - but most important, I just love listening to and watching it be performed, and I want to share that experience with you.Definition of music Sandbox Percussion’s multiple versions of Jason Treuting’s “extremes” are an awesome example of how a great composition can renew itself with each interpretation. Particularly new works with flexible instrumentation, because they really showcase an ensemble’s choices and personality. It’s an exciting era for percussion innovation and inspiration. ◆ ◆ ◆ Andy Akiho, composer and steel pan virtuoso We hope you find lots here to discover and enjoy leave your favorites in the comments. Now we want to convince those curious friends to love percussion - the resonant sound of instruments struck, shaken, pounded. In the past, we’ve chosen the five minutes or so we would play to make our friends fall in love with classical music, piano, opera, cello, Mozart, 21st-century composers, violin, Baroque music, sopranos, Beethoven, flute, string quartets, tenors, Brahms and choral music.
