We can also understand their thinking and wisdom. They seem easily close to us. In any country, music is born of the land, it's sounds are acquired from nature from the whisteling of the wind through the fields, water and plain desert, also from the voices of birds, water falls and still silence. People do not compose music, they just open their hearts to allow music flow and behold the most beautiful tunes come within. Upon stimulation, feelings and reaction of native people's daily life and feelings spring to reveal everything in a musical piece.
Music is a pure art that expresses feelings exactly the way they are.
It transfers feelings in their abstract form to the listener. What greater wonder, when we know that those composers, could transfer their abstract feelings through ages for us for over 400 years of humanity. The music that survived world wars, decline of major civilizations and birth of new ones, discoveries of remote planets and mastering genetic engineering. Everthing changed, beginning of life style and ending by the nature and environment itself. In Ancient Egypt, priests kept all secrets of astronomy, music and architecture inside the temples.
