Another thing alike among these early peoples, is that all of them
had drums and rattles of some kind and a roughly made instrument
that resembles our pipes. But they had no stringed instruments and
for their beginnings you will have to journey on with us in this,—your
book.
Since giving this book to the public, we have come in direct contact
with some remarkable songs of the Nootka (Canadian) Indians and
of the Eskimos. Juliette Gaultier de la Verendry, a young French
Canadian, has sung them in New York in the original dialect. They
have been given to her by D. Jenness, an anthropologist who lived
among the Eskimos for several years, studying their traits and at the
same time he took the opportunity of writing down their songs. They
are truly savage music and have the characteristics of which we have
spoken in the use of intervals, drums, and in the type of songs, such
as weather and healing incantations (medicine songs), work songs,
and dances.

The Egyptians must have used a musical scale of whole steps and
half steps, covering several octaves, not unlike ours. Think of the
piano keyboard with its black and its white keys and you will get an
idea of the Egyptian scale. We learned this through the discovery of a
flute that played a scale of half steps from a below middle c to d
above the staff with only a few tones missing.

The myths and legends of the ancient Greeks read like fairy tales,
but to the Greeks they were what our Bible stories are to us. In their
rich mythology we find many stories about the beginnings of music.
To Pan, the god of woods and fields, of flocks and shepherds, is
given the credit of inventing the shepherd’s pipe, or Pan’s Pipes. He
lived in grottoes, wandered on the mountains and in the valleys, and
amused himself hunting, leading the dances of the nymphs, and
playing on his pipes.
Pan’s Pipes
A beautiful nymph named Syrinx was loved by Pan, but every time
that he tried to tell her of his love, she became frightened and ran
away, for Pan was a funny looking lover with goat’s legs, a man’s
body, and long pointed ears. One day he chased her through the
woods to the bank of a river; she called out in fright, and was
suddenly changed by her friends the Water Nymphs, into a clump of
tall reeds. When he reached out to embrace her, instead of Syrinx, he
had the clump of reeds in his arms! As he sighed in disappointment,
his breath passing through the reeds, produced a sad wail. Pan,
hearing in it a plaintive song, broke off the reeds in unequal lengths,
bound them together, and made the first musical instrument, which
he called a syrinx in memory of his lost sweetheart. These pipes
comforted Pan, and he played many tender melodies, and often
without being seen, was known to be near by his lovely music.
Pan, although adored, was feared. At one time, Brennus, a warrior,
with a company of Gauls (a tribe from ancient France), attacked the
Temple of Delphi (in Greece), and was about to destroy it, when
suddenly they turned and fled in fear although no one pursued them.
Their terror was supposed to have been of Pan’s making, and to this
day we use the word “panic” (Pan-ic) for all sudden overpowering
fright.
