Howard Goodall's Story of Music Don't miss the first episode of
Howard Goodall’s landmark series Howard Goodall presents a
personal view of the history of music, from the beginning of
human existence to the present day. In the first episode of a
six-part series Goodall explores mankind’s earliest steps in
music-making, suggesting that it is an integral part of human
existence. Archeological evidence shows that music could have
been as much a part of everyday life in the Upper Paleolithic
Age as it is today. The episode goes on to look at Gregorian
Chant and developments in medieval music that provided a
foundation for the rules of harmony and notation that we still
use today. Find out more on the BBC website.
