Talk:Ancient music

message: The first examples of (structured linear) writing have been found in the lower Danube Valley and date from around 5000 BC. The first examples of Sumerian writing in Mesopotamia date from around 4000 BC. So if when writing develops, the music is not prehistoric anymore, how can it be that the ancient music is the one that occurs only after 1500 BC? --Eleassar777 22:44, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: As you will see above, my mistake. However, the article does need to specify when prehistory ended in Mesopotamia and you appear more than qualified to add that information. I obviously, am not. Hyacinth 03:27, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: Hello! I added a section on "ancient music origins" that I think could lend more general knowledge to the category of "ancient music." I took a look at the prehistoric music article and I liked how it contains sections on "Origins of prehistoric instruments" and "Archaeoacoustic methodology" before it begins separating out the different regions of the world and the respective contributions to prehistoric music. This ancient music origins section might go more in-depth over the idea of "characterizations of basic notes and scales" seen in the lead along with touching more on the idea of written musical notation and transmission (as opposed to oral music transmission) which seems to be the mark of the shift from prehistoric to ancient. I also believe that this will offer a means to expand upon the lead a little more. I have started the section, but would appreciate assistance in crafting it either through credible additions or through reliable sources that could be useful. Thanks!
