Ancient Music

Ancient music refers to the musical practices and sounds from early civilizations, spanning from prehistoric times to the end of classical antiquity. It involved the use of simple instruments like flutes, lyres, and drums, often created from natural materials. Music held religious, social, and ceremonial significance, serving to commemorate events, honor deities, or accompany storytelling and dance. Although much of the actual sound has been lost, scholars interpret ancient music through artifacts, writings, and images, revealing how early peoples experienced and valued music as an integral part of their culture.
