The author was Rebecca Arkenberg. I picked this article to give perspective of music influence of culture throughout our history. The article starts of by telling us why music is important in history. “Music was an essential part of life, changes of political, economic, and religious events led to changes in composing, methods of disseminating music, new genres, and new instruments.” (Arkenberg) I chose this article because in the 1400-1600 period music helped spread religion through hymns and other instrumental choir songs. Of course you didn’t make a lot of money until others started buying music do to teaching of the newly fermented instruments. As art and poetry spread so did music. European countries worked together and made music as a form of communication which helps prove my other article. Further down in the article it goes on to talk about after the masked production of sheet music made more and more want to fully educate themselves in everything that is new. Music inspired many to create new sound, and new ways to make those sounds. Forming orchestras this was the first time bringing these people together giving them sheet music and having instruments come in to play at different times. I also found interesting the more people wanted to be able to come together to make music so they introduced written word to instrumental pieces. Which we know as singing today marked history back then. This led to inspiration for plays and operas we still have to this day. I really enjoyed this piece, I am a bit of a history buff so I decided to include it in my research. I also enjoyed the fact it had an author associated in the writing. Sometimes the author does not get posted to the writing. The only thing is I wish they posted so more citations to go along with their work. I trust the source since I got it from the Met
