Western European countries such as Greece and Italy birthed many foundational philosophies of the humanities and sciences, including artistic styles, literature, theology, mathematics, and other scientific modes of thinking. The origination of Western music can be traced back to Ancient Greece, which produced the invention of the lyre, the lute, and the poetic character of Orpheus, who could control the laws of nature with his singing voice. Philosophers such as Plato and his contemporary Aristotle explored the various ways that music influenced the emotions of the human soul, while mathematician Pythagoras helped develop a philosophy called musica universalis, or music of the spheres, which was an important tenant in his mathematical equations. The Greeks believed that the celestial bodies of the galaxy including the moon, sun, and planets made music that proportionately harmonized with the frequencies of the Earth.

 

Ancient Greece was eventually conquered by the armies of Rome in the first century A.D., and many styles of thinking (including music and science) were adopted by the Roman people. The early Roman Empire was the dominant force in Europe until its fall in the fourth and fifth centuries which led to the Medieval Era, also known as the Dark Ages.
