The world renowned musicologist Curt Sachs
once stated in a discussion of ancient Hebrew, Egyptian, and Babylonian music,
“But one thing is certain, wherever a higher class of musicians was
distinguished from a lower class, [in the context of his writing it is evident
that he meant high quality] wherever the official standard of an educational
center was respected, there must have been law and logic, measure and
reckoning.” The Rise of Music in the Ancient World, p.
64.
