"Histoire de la musique" by Henri Lavoix is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work provides an in-depth exploration of the evolution of music, beginning from ancient civilizations such as the Egyptians and Assyrians, and moving through the ages to contemporary music. The author aims to detail the transformative nature of musical practices over time and across cultures. The opening of the volume presents a comprehensive introduction to the definitions and fundamental concepts of music, highlighting the elements that constitute it, such as sound, rhythm, harmony, and timbre. Lavoix emphasizes the role of music as both a form of entertainment and a powerful medium of expression, arguing that true musical works endure beyond transient pleasures. He sets the stage for a historical narrative that will trace the connections between ancient musical traditions and the development of modern music, showing how various cultures contributed to this rich artistic heritage.
