"Dateline Mesopotamia, 3500 B.C. That's when the multi-faceted sounds we callmusic got its humble beginnings. It seems clappers were sent out the the fields to scareevilspirits away. These clappers started getting into the beat of their duty and, bingo, you got drums. From there, horns, strings, reeds, the whole orchestral gestalt. So, born in staving off death, music continues to nourish us in a variety of forms as different as the colors of the spectrum."
