The roots of music bring us back at the beginning of human community. Sounds that surrounded prehistoric people, slowly, got its meaning in mind. Percussions are, undoubtedly, the first and the most elemental instrument in human history. This program starts from that sound, which is in our most primitive memory. Music was very important part in the first great civilizations (Babylonian, Egyptian, Greek...). Fortunately, some music of that time survived, and we relive it today. Music of Christians and secular monophonic music of Middle Ages is the final part of our root seeking human music reflection.
This program is, in some kind, a History of Civilisation reflected, written and memorized in music.
