Music History

It's my impression that in 450CE, the Church destroyed
all prior music documentation. So we have fragments
today of Greek music including some complete plays. This
is not an unusual power play. On the clari.net.living it
has an article that tells what happened in history in
classical music on a daily basis. On 7/23 it points out
that the Ayatollah took over Iran and immediately
declared music to be heretical. He stated that music
motivates personal emotion and sense of self-power. This
is probably what the Church did in 450CE. It controlled
almost 3/4 of the last 2000 years. So we westerners are
still influenced by this.

You know, the Jewish scribes when deciding what would go
into the formal holy scriptures left a lot of
documentation. However they didn't destroy it. They hid
these documents in the geneezah (hidden) place in the
Temple. Geneezah is translated into Apocrypha in Greek.
The Church decided to include the Apocrypha as part of
their bible. Thus the Church preserved hidden Jewish
documents. Among these documents is the story of
Khanookah.

So it might be that the Church never did destroy these
ancient music documents but have them hidden in the
Vatican vaults. There is absolutely no way to find this
out. Be-ahavah uv-shalom, Queen Jean of Creekbend
