of recording and notational capabilities most of the music from this time-period is
unknown.

innovation and style. This took place during the 20th Century.
Non-Western Music - Answer-Consists of any style or genre of music that is not derived

that represent sound. Much of the music before the Middle Ages is unknown due to the
