I want to know the answer to the following question:
What do many people consider to be the source of our modern musics familiarity with us?
All the background I'm provided with is that "In a discussion of any ancient music, however, non-specialists and even many musicians have to be reminded that much of what makes our modern music familiar to us is the result of developments only within the last 1,000 years; thus, our ideas of melody, scales, harmony, and even the instruments we use may not have been familiar to Romans who made and listened to music many centuries earlier.[citation needed]". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
