The chants muttered in order to overcome the powers of nature became shauting out of loneliness, fear and joy and, with the settled life cries of black magic and war. We tried to examine the effects on music of the social structure and social changes from the Ancient Age to the Baroque era. The process from the time of the primitive peoples to that of the end of the Renaissance was analysed under certain titles.
