I: Music was used in many areas in the Byzantine empire. It was used in the religions, and also other roles in the culture This work of art shows
Saint Romano the Melodist in a church surrounded by people singing.
1. Music
was very influential on the Byzantine religious culture.
A.
Churches used the music to sing chants more than actual song, which helped the
religion spread with it being easier to remember.
b.
The composers normally set the music to a traditional tone instead of writing
something new for the chant.
Even though
music was very important in the Byzantine Empire, it also played a large role
in shaping the Islamic Empire.
II:
Music
was used a large amount of time in the Islamic Religion and culture. Even
though some say it isn’t, music is used in the Islamic religion. This
artwork shows two people each playing a Oud, which is used all over the middle
east.
1.
The Oud was used all over the Middle East and helped shape its culture
A. Other instruments were also used in the
Islamic empire. Some were things such as drums, string instruments, flutes, and
horns.
2. Music
was used widely in the Islamic religion.
A.
They used music in in things like a child being born, a marriage, and any
festival. Instead of singing like some religions, the Islamic people prayed to the
music in its tone and rhythm.
Like it was
in the Islamic and Byzantine Empire, music has affected the culture of many other
locations.
