Yes, I do know. I specified above: vocal chants. Not the instruments used to play music.fmr wrote: Sat Jan 01, 2022 7:38 pmWTF are you talking about? What "bad" practices?Pashkuli wrote: Sat Jan 01, 2022 6:36 pm What knowledge?
This church notation came out from years of bad practices, mostly related to vocal chants. It has nothing to do with knowledge.![]()
Do you even know how notation was born? Do you know that current notation compares to those first notation attempts as much current western writing compares to Egypt hieroglyphs (or ancient greek writing, at best)?
It was the chants, specifically those who were considered "pious", not the "sacrilegious" (pagan) songs of the plebs (ordinary folk).
Actually there was a time when for years if not centuries, any folk music was forbidden in favour of the church chants at schools and education. Most if not all schools were under the control of the church. That origin of control can still be seen even today.
