Music history

 Origin of the music.

• The music has its origin in the search for language, this is the need for
communication, this goes back to about 40,000 years ago, when Homo Sapiens
was able to imitate the sounds of nature and differentiate them from those that
made up the structure of its language, was then with the so-called Homo
musicus when they began to outline the first musical expressions associated
with a collective event, funerary rituals, hunts and ceremonies related to
fertility, were part of a daily life from which music had come to form part in its
own right.
 Music in antiquity.
• It is one in which the musical
manifestations of man consist in the
extereorization of his feelings through the
sound emanating from his own voice and
in order to distinguish it from the speech
he uses to communicate with other beings.
The first instruments were the objects or
utensils or the same body of man that
could produce sounds: Autophones,
Membranophones and Aerophobes.
 Music of the Middle Age.
• In the Patristic Period appeared the
Christian Era and the Middle Ages,
in the latter the History of music is
closely linked to the way in which
the Christian liturgy was
developed, since music was
considered the vehicle by means of
which the priests raised the word
to God.
 Music of romanticism.
Romanticism is clearly universal and of all times
and can not be limited to just one period of history.
On the one hand, the new society of the nineteenth
century, daughter of the ideas of the French
Revolution, wishes to free itself from the past and,
thus, obtain an art that expresses the behavior and
ideas of its time.
Romanticism supposes the development of
nationalisms. This is evident in the accentuation of
the differences between national musical styles, and
comes to be venerated popular song as a
spontaneous expression of the national soul.
 Impressionism
• Impressionism in music was a
movement among various
composers in Western classical
music (mainly during the late 19th
and early 20th centuries) whose
music focuses on suggestion and
atmosphere, "conveying the moods
and emotions aroused by the subject
rather than a detailed tone‐picture".
 Modernism
• Modernism takes the progressive spirit of
the late nineteenth century and its
attachment to the rigor of technological
progress, so it takes it off the rules and
formalities of the art of the time and
tradition. In this way the main
characteristic of modernism is the plurality
of language, understanding that no
particular musical language assumed a
dominant position.
 60’s
• The 60's become a turning point in
music, with the birth of the most
influential bands for the music of
the following year, bands like The
Beatles, The Doors, The Rolling
Stones, The Who are vulven
references of popular culture and
They would inspire new
generations.
 Actual Day (21th Century)
•
The music of the beginning of the 21st century is
an amalgam of divergent and even opposed
tendencies in which it is difficult to find a
common thread. Faced with the new complexity,
undoubtedly the heir of structuralism, new
simplicities, mystical currents, neopoetics, the
phenomenon of borrowing or music on music are
found as a reflection of intertextuality and
interculturality and more or less successful
attempts at fusion, as well as the sonic music and
the sound landscape.
