That gives me chills! It is one of the mysteries I often ponder — when & how did music start?
Did it start with singing? With drums? Flutes? Horns?
What were the earliest tunes? As this article asks, was it for hunting, for war, for worship, for entertainment?
And then the next question: when did early people start writing it down? I remember reading about an ancient pot found in Greece that had early musical notation written on it.
I like to look at the sources of the hymns we sing in church. Many of them date from the 1800s and and great many more from the 1960s-1970s. Seldom do I see one that dates from the 1500s, and that is the earliest I’ve seen. The early ones are generally sung at Christmas.
Jes’ sayin’

Classical music ping...or paleoclassical anyway. Thought you might be interested in this one.
I never knew that he was saying amber lamps.. thought it was bam-ba-lam or something..
There is a huge chunk of human history missing somewhere.
Thanks, Civ
It’s music to my ears!
It’s probably hiding behind one of my double posts. [blush]
So the sounds of birds seem to fill the wood
and when the flutist plays [and]
All their voices can be heard
long past their woodland days?
