Birds eye view of music in history. Top Music always played an important role in human life when looking into the history throughout the world and all times. Its function spreads from use for religious meetings, rituals, festivities and ceremonies but also for relaxation, form of art, as background support for theatre and movies, leisure and psychological instrument for creating a state of mind. Music played an important role in the myths of the Aboriginals from Australia. The drum rhythms from the tribes in Africa at ceremonies and in their mythology .
Music is a kind of event driven activity, there lies a purpose behind the activity.
It could be a performed at hunting rituals, dancing and singing in the light of a campfire, or even just for the fun of it, hitting some stones with a piece of wood, alone or together with others. And right now people go to dance party's, the ecstatic pulsating drum beat, flashing light effects and smoke machines creating an atmosphere like at a campfire in the earlier days. Just music at a ritual, nothing more. Sing the blues I guess. Feeling happy on cloud nine or even extremely ecstatic.
