Music i
n this time period was very different. Instruments used to perform medieval music still exist, though in different forms. The flute was once made of wood rather than sivler, or other metal, and could be made as a side-blown or end-blown instrument. The recorder comes from the gemshorn, which is made out of a cow horn and has wholes drilled into it to create musical sounds. The gemshorn is a member of the ocarina family. Medieval days used many string plucking instruments. The bowed lyra of the byzantine empire was the first recorded European bowed string instrument. The hurdy-gurdy, a mechanical violin, using a rosined wooden wheel attached to a crank to bow its strings. In this era music was both secular and sacred. The earliest Medieval music did not have any kind of notational system. Medieval music began after the Roman empire fell. Troubadours were poet musicians, they wrote about romance with knights and ladies. Troubadours created and memorized their own music. Only religious music was written down and saved during the medieval times. Gregorian church chant, a special kind of music sung in the church. In Asia they had their own type of medieval music with different instruments. A cultures music was developed by all sorts of different reasons depending where they lived and how everyone acted, and what they created in their different regions, and what resources they had. The legendary founder of music in Chinese mythology was Ling Lun, who made bamboo pipes tuned to the sounds of birds. The development of Chinese music was strongly influenced by foreign music, especially from Central Asia. The oldest written music in China is Youlan or the Solitary Orchid. The position of musicians was much lower than that of painters in China. Silk, bamboo, wood, stone, metal, clay, gourd, and hide these are the eight categories of instruments in china. Silk instruments are mostly string instruments. Some examples of instruments are things like oboes such as guan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guan_(instrument)
