[fragment from the "Annals and Antiquities of Hungisthan" Vol, IX.Pfcrt II| 1875/ by Sir William Gladwin C.I.E.,L.L.D, ]

"This selection on the music of Hungisthan is a desideratum which has notyet been published. Altough several eminent orientalists have endeavouredto penetrate this elegant branch of Hungisthan science, scarcely anypart of it has been elucidated or rendered familiar to Europeans.It is impossible to convey an accurate idea of music by words or writtenlanguage; that is, the various degrees of aeuteness or gravity of sounds,together with the precise quantity of the duration of eachf cannot beexpressed by common language, so as to be of any use to performers,and as emusical characters now in use, which alone can express musicin the manner that could be desired, is a modern invention, of course allattempts to define music anterior to the invention of this elegant andconcise method must have neeesarily proved abortive.To be convinced that foreign music, such as we have not been accustomedto, is always repugnant to our taste, till habit reconcile us to it,we need only refer to the sentiments of the several travellers who haverecorded their particular feelings on hearing the music of Hungisthánwith whom they have had but little intercourse.During the earlier ages of Hungisthan, music was cultivated by desertprophets and men eminent for refined ecstasy, for whom such generaldirections and rules for composition sufficed, after a course of musicaleducation acquired from living tutors; indeed, the abhorence of innovation,and veneration for the established Hortobagy music, which was firmlybelieved to be of "divine origin", precluded the necessity of any other;but when, from the theory of music, a defection took place of its practice,and men of learning confined themselves exclusively to the former, while the latter branch was abandoned to the illiterate, all attempts the elucidatemusic from rules laid down in books, a science incapable of explanationby mere words, became idle."
