Music is the art of vocal or instrumental sounds /the both combined to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion. Music is first seen in the phrehistoric times ,but in the early Renaissance era , it came with themes of passion and love wheres before hand it was just sound that did not convey any emotion.
Music in this era really started to develop and became part of their daily life. Musicians now worked for church's, courts and towns and music was related to wealth as Kings and princes competed for the best composers.
It is believed that the first ever music recording was made by Thomas Edison in 1877, when he recored 'Mary had a Little Lamb' on his new invention- the phonograph. However it was actually discovered that 17 years prior to 'mary had a Little Lamb' there was indeed the first ever recored music, which was by a woman singing a french folk song 'Claire de la lune' in 1860. It was recorded by a “phonautograph”, which etches waveforms onto paper.
