expression of therhythm of the soul.Naturally,then,in thoselands wherever they may be where great civi-lisations have come to birth,there we findmusic in evidence.Through the slow evolution of man-kind,music has followed,stage by stage,the developmentof the spirit of Man.Music has given expression to man'sfaith and to his love;it has been the companion of primitiveman in his daily toil.From the cradle to the grave,theworld of musical sound has encompassed the lives of menwith the expression of its melody,and with its cadencehas set the rhythm from the dawn of humanity,throughoutits development.  \nAncient Egypt,the cradle of civilisation,is rich inmusic,that art favoured of philosophers,that philosophystudied by artists.And many present-day musical instru-ments had their origin in the Valley of the Nile.In thepre-Dynastic age the flute was already in existence.Itwas no long time before the clarinet also came into being,then the harp,the aristocrat of our orchestras to-day;these were well known to the musicians of Ancient Egypt.  \nThe Greeks tell us,in their legends,that the art ofmusic had its origin in Egypt,the Land of Mystery.“Logic”,translated into\"sound”—that was how theGreeks of old conceived music.Music draws therefore itspower and inspiration from the cultural and artistic lifeof the civilisation of the Pharaohs and the wisdom of theircraftsmen-priests.And if humanity owes its earliest notionsof a well-regulated social and material life,of architectureand the fine arts,of writing,and of many other elementsof intellectual life,to the ancient Egyptians,the civilisinginfluence of the music of the Pharaohs must certainly be  \nmentioned before all else among their pacificist and bene-ficent achievements.  \nA visit to the Cairo Museum reveals most clearly theextremely important place held by music,in Ancient Egypt:several glass cases in room 34 on the first floor are devotedto musical instruments:we have only now begun to dis-cover anew their inherent sonority;theit voice has beenunheard these many centuries.  \n■he shrill twang of the lyre,the rhythmicstaccato of the lute,the resonance,fuller andclearer,of the harp一these mingle in ourimagination with the suave modulations of theflute the sharper and more piercing tones of the clarinetand the oboe,the click-clack of the cymbals and castanets,and the tap of the drums.All these instruments,fashionedin part of wood and precious metals,had been buried withthe dead man whose memory it was desired to commemo-rate.It is therefore evident that a peculiarly deep signi-ficance was attached to these instruments:it was no morea question of enlivening the long days of the life in thehereafter,but rather of lightening the shadows of that lifewith their consoling and illuminating music.  \nEven the warlike sound of the trumpet is not lackingin that soundless orchestra in the Cairo Museum of Egyp-tian Antiquities.Among the sensational\"finds\"in thetreasure of Tut-Ankh-Amen,in his tomb—that tombthat escaped violation —in the Valley of the Kings facingLuxor,two trumpets speak to us even to-day of the shininggrandeur and the glorious life of those kings of old,Mastersof the Lower Land and the Upper Land.","cbCaildNfzXKT8iv","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaildNfzXKT8iv","pdf",2223560,24,"English","# Introduction\n## Origins and development of music\n##
