Music is human expression using elements of sound and silence to communicate, entertain and/or celebrate. Music predates the written word, and possibly even language.
 Each environment provided its own birdsongs and animals sounds that influenced the sounds humans would recreate, and then call music.
The quality and performance of music is valued by the culture and social context that gives rise to the music.
 What is pleasing and fulfilling to one culture and time may be harsh and disturbing to another.
The study of music, in discerning broad styles and genres, gives evidence of the meeting of civilzations and societies.

Troubadours were composers and performers of lyric poetry during the High Middle Ages, 1100-1350.
The troubadour's lute, a stringed instrument with a neck and deep, round back, is a precursor to guitars, banjos and mandolines.
A “chantefable” is a combination of prose and verse performed by troubadours.
