how music evolved?

Answer 1

today's music is cheaper than older music.

Answer 2

I recently read an article about this. It said music, in most creatures, is often used as mating calls. Since humans don't need to use mating calls, our range of vocalization was allowed to expand and may have eventually become language. But there was a test involving birds, like canaries or something, bred in captivity. Those in captivity had a wider range of song since they were assured a mate and had no reason to just sing a mating song.

I also found this interesting. "Varity could even decrease over time. In fact, there may be a bizarre example of that happening right now in human song. We can easily explore the changing amount of variety in songs over the last hundred years because of and amaving data archive: audio recording. Since the beginning of recording music, the sound of human song has changed with each new generation of people. There's no confusing a 1930s song with a 1940s song, or a 1950s song with a 1960s song. The pattern sticks until roughly the end of the 1980s. It's not easy to tell wheter a song came from 1990 or 2000.

If you accept that there has been a recent decrease in stylistic variety in human song, the next question is 'Why?' There are plenty of possiblilities: Maybe the Internet makes too much information availiable, so everyone has the same influences to absorb - and songs lose flavor and take on a generic quality. To be more cynical, it could be a sign of cultural decline. " It goes on to talk about how digital editing tools also limit creativity.

So those saying music "devolved" might be correct.

Answer 3

Music evolved when it was contrived as a squishy repartition of the selection process of the fittest individuals. It somehow became a selection criteria or feature that was in demand, possibly, because it was like some freaky manifestation of a quantity that made demands on creative madness. If it was amazing, it demanded that high reason can free a species from anathemic evolutionary paths, else if it was damned, the path decided by the selection is enraging the encouters of desecreted beasts. Whatever possibilities of musical evolution quantified in qualities new and old, the path of human evolution has been built by musical selection.

Answer 4

There's not enough room here to fully answer that.

Many know more than I do, but much of our modern music came from the "modal music of the Renaissance in the 17th century".
Tonality came from this period, allowing composition of music of enormous complexity, IE the Western system of "keys".

Certainly "music" goes much farther back than that. It has been a continuous evolution.

I've never heard anyone say this, but I've often thought that the first music ever played by man may have originated by imitating the songs and notes of birds.

Answer 5

I think the key word here would be "devolved".
