Interestingly, when there was music? It is hardly possible to determine the exact date when the first melody. Even our distant ancestors were celebrating a successful hunt, dancing around a campfire under the thunder of drums. Surely someone, dressed in a skin of a bear or a leopard, whistling some chords, looking at the stars. Perhaps this was the first music.
For many years, everything changes: the appearance of people, their clothes and shoes, their work and leisure, thinking and so on. Music has changed as well. But music has always accompanied the man to life. In ancient Greece were often held in the evening, at which poets read poetry. The musicians were required attribute such events. In the Middle Ages in Europe arranged balls, on which the titled nobles listened to music and dancing. Middle-and lower-class liked music too: they listened to musicians playing at fairs, in taverns, in holidays - just on the streets. Later, in the 19-20 centuries, in Europe it was fashionable to arrange musical salons - activities that were invited composers, musicians and performers, and of course the viewers and listeners.
In today's world it is impossible to imagine life without music. We hear it everywhere: on radio and television, in the subway and a bus in the shop and beauty salon, in schools and universities, in cars and on the streets. On the streets of the city are almost no people without headphones and mp3-player. At home, everyone has a stereo, computer and TV. Music sounds everywhere. No people on earth who do not like music. Wherever we are, music is always with us. We listen to music to calm down or to cheer up, to distract and relax. I think that music sets the rhythm and mood of our lives. Perhaps it would be boring to live in silence.
