Recordings

The invention of recording was a big thing. Music was used to spread entertainment and news around. Before the invention of recording, music had to be spread from village to village. To me, this seems like a long time to get a message to someone! Thinking of all the different languages everyone spoke, different cultures everyone had, how could they possibly understand eachother? Message distortion was a  big problem with this. Messages would often get changed around and turned into something totally different than what it originally meant.I think many of the old songs and hymnals we have today went through these phases and probably meant something different back than when the song was first made. But ever since recording was made possible, things in the music industry started to get better. Information through music could spread faster and better, and it also taught different cultures other languages, unifying us. from the late 1800's to the early 1900's things were starting to look up for music and recording. From that point on set the path for all the things we have today.
