Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from �tudes sur la Musique Grecque, le Plain-Chant Et la Tonalit� Moderne
Dans l'origine, la musique �tait consacr�e � chanter les louanges de la Divinit� et � enflammer les coeurs de l'amour de la vertu; mais, d�s le Xe si�cle avant l'�re vulgaire, elle commen�ait � perdre son caract�re moral et religieux, puis que Lycurgue d�fendait, pendant la guerre, l'usage de cer tains modes trop eff�min�s, et ne les permettait, pendant la paix, que par tol�rance.
