These simplest of simple instruments are thought to have been used in religious② ceremonies as representations③ of animals. There was no notation or writing of this kind of “music” and its sounds can only be extrapolated④ from the music of American Indians and African natives who still adhere to some of the ancient religious practices. As for the more advanced instruments,their evolution was slow and steady. It is known that by 4000 BCE the Egyptians had created harps and flutes,and by 3500 BCE lyres and double-reeded clarinets⑤ had been developed. In Denmark,by 2500 BCE an early form of the trumpet⑥ had been developed. This trumpet is what is now known as a “natural trumpet”. It is valveless⑦,and depends completely on manipulation of the lips to change pitch. One of the most popular instruments today was created in 1500 BCE by the Hittites. I am talking about the guitar. This was a great step; the use of frets to change the pitch of a vibrating⑧ string would lead to later instruments such as the violin and harpsichord. In 800 BCE the first recovered piece of recorded music was found. It was written in cuneiform and was a religious hymn. It should be noted that cuneiform is not a type of musical notation. By 700 BCE there are records of songs that include vocals with instrumentals. This added a whole new dimension to music: accompaniment.
