So, if i believed simple facts, i would say there was no music else where in the world in the medival period. There were thriving empires in south india, and culture rapidly expanding in the middle east. Though Europe was in the dark ages, the rest of the world wasn't. But was music something that didnt not concern people of this time?
All the places ive tried to research they talk of empires and cultures, but music is not majorly present, there was music in india and palestine, and china. But it seems i didnt play a major role. Was it the fear of the ever expanding black death. Or maybe these generations of people did not have a appeal to music.
The lust for power and unity might have driven a desire for music from the people. Though there are those musicians that pursued the passion, it didnt go beyond that. Also many musical discoveries, forms ext. originated from europe, and with out this flow, new ideas ceased for a period, and what was known was simply used. Nothing more complex or new.
