It is widely assumed that string instruments emerged about 4000 BC from the hunting bow and the sound it produces while shooting. Warriors from Babylon frequently made such stringed instruments with a solid wooden neck and a sound box of stretched animal skins. Like the bow, the strings were made of woven plants fibers or materials derived from animals. At the same time, the “tar” emerged as a primitive stringed instrument originating from India. “Tar” means string Sanskrit, leading to the Indian sitar meaning literally “three strings”.
Cultures who used these instrument pairs associated genders with them; the "father" was the bigger or more energetic instrument, while the "mother" was the smaller or duller instrument. Musical instruments existed in this form for thousands of years before patterns of three or more tones would evolve in the form of the earliest xylophone. [24] Xylophones originated in the mainland and archipelago of Southeast Asia, eventually spreading to Africa, the Americas, and Europe. [25] Along with xylophones, which ranged from simple sets of three "leg bars" to carefully tuned sets of parallel bars, various cultures developed instruments such as the ground harp, ground zither, musical bow, and jaw
Cameron Steele Intro to Music Professor Walters 9/29/2014 The Snare Drum Ah the snare drum, one of the most well-known and versatile instrument in the percussion family. Although it’s not entirely clear when the snare drum was first developed. Scholars and Historians alike speculate that the snare drum was originally influenced by an instrument called the Tabor. This instrument was believed to have been created in the 14th century around Spain and the southern region of France (Jankins). Subsequently, the instrument later found its way into England around the similar time period.
The Gothic era produced 4/4 timing and other methods for measuring rhythm. The texture of music was vastly polyphonic, which 3 or 4 parts of one instrument used to create some excellent tones. Harmonies were also a result of polyphonic texture. Polyphonic texture is where two or more voices or instruments are mixed together and play separate melodies, but in the same key. The Gothic era used techniques which are called ‘dual or triple harmonies’.
