Music of Egypt
Music has been an important aspect of the culture in Egypt since time immemorial. Egyptians have been playing music with or without dance for various purposes. Egyptian music mainly takes the form of singing or chanting, and clapping, and the use of different types of musical instruments for various purposes. Egyptian music was in all social spheres in ancient times including the royal, public, and private spheres (Emerit, 2013). Although it was not possible to record or write Egyptian music in the ancient times such as during the early Stone Age to know what Egyptian music was like, it is possible to know the kind of instruments used from ancient artistic works on the walls of tombs. This paper explains the role of music in Egyptian culture and describes the specific instruments used by Egyptians in the ancient times.
Music and Culture
Egyptians are famous for being among the first to infuse music into their culture and in almost every aspect of their lives. Ancient Egyptians acknowledged the existence of gods. The culture of ancient Egyptians consisted of religious beliefs in polytheistic deities where gods were present in every aspect of society. Consequently, Egyptians had to perform religious rituals through music. They played music in locations of worship. The purpose of playing music in worship places was to recognize and show reverence to their gods. For instance, Egyptians believed in the ibis-headed Thoth and the God Bes, the gods responsible for music and dance among other aspects of Egyptian culture (Russell, 2013). They used music during temple rituals to please and appease their gods (Emerit, 2013). They played music in places of worship to acknowledge and honor these gods for bringing music, fertility, language, sexual pleasure, and for keeping evil away from people (Russell, 2013). Processional songs and hymns were also part of religious rituals in Egypt (Bunson, 2002). Music was also a crucial part of cultic ceremonies (Bunson, 2002.) For example, Egyptians used music during the rebirth of dead people during funerals (Emerit, 2013). Therefore, from a religious perspective, music provided a platform for Egyptians to enter the spiritual world and interact with their gods.
Another purpose of Egyptian music in the ancient days was to bring liveliness in all forms of celebrations because celebrations would be incomplete in the absence of music and dance. Both common people and royalties used music primarily for entertainment purposes. Egyptians played musical instruments at parties as singers and dancers sang, danced, and celebrated with other people at the party. Ancient Egyptian music was also an integral aspect of festivals where singers and crowds participated by chanting and clapping to the rhythm produced by musical instruments. Music also encouraged people at work. For instance, ancient Egyptian farmers would sing while working such as during harvest. Music also played a significant role in providi.

The document also focuses specifically on the history of guitars, beginning with their invention in Spain in the 16th century and the development of electric guitars in the 1930s.
Greek music
Greek music has a long and diverse history dating back to antiquity. It was influenced by both Eastern and Western cultures as Greece assimilated different musical styles. Traditional Greek music is generally divided into two categories: Byzantine music, with its Eastern influences, and Greek folk music, which includes regional styles and instruments like the bouzouki and baglamas. The nine Muses of Greek mythology were goddesses who inspired literature, science, and the arts including music, which was an important part of education in ancient Greece. Greek musical theory included the use of musical modes that later influenced both Eastern and Western religious and classical music.
History of music
This document provides an overview of the history of music from prehistoric times through the medieval period.

The Renaissance period around 1400 AD saw the beginning of polyphonic church music composed for important religious institutions.
Music an egyptian heritage
Egypt has a rich musical heritage dating back thousands of years. Egyptian music was influential on ancient Greek and Middle Eastern music and is an integral part of Egyptian history and culture. It is based on maqamat, which represent tones, and iqa'at, which represent rhythms. Traditional Egyptian music includes folkloric, religious, Nubian, and Egyptian-Western styles. Famous instruments include the oud, qanun, nay, and req. Iconic Egyptian singers like Um Kalthoum, Abdel Halim Hafez, Amr Diab, and Mohamed Mounir helped spread Egyptian music worldwide.
Music culture portrait of Cyprus
The music of Cyprus is strongly connected to ancient Greek musical traditions as well as those of the Byzantine Empire and Greek islands. Cyprus can be considered part of Greek civilization, though it maintained its own musical traditions throughout periods of conquest by various empires. Traditional Cypriot music was passed down orally and accompanied important social and religious ceremonies, though economic changes led to fewer professional musicians. Notable Cypriot composers and performers have made contributions to classical and popular music.

Photos are included of Maria Farantouri and Sezen Aksu performing together.
BEGINING OF JAZZ
Jazz music originated from Negro folk songs, which incorporated elements of African culture and heritage. Early jazz utilized crude homemade instruments and incorporated many musical styles, including ragtime, marches, and blues. The development of jazz involved contributions from many groups - African drumming, Negro spirituals and work songs, ragtime piano, brass bands, and blues. Over time, jazz evolved into a unique American musical art form that was a profound expression of the Negro experience.
