the truth is, no one really knows. there was no way to record anything and music as we know it hadn't been invented.
thats why all the ancient dudes like Back and Batehoven were called composers rather than bands, they would write stuff down and people would buy this "sheet music" to read and appreciate that way. just the limitations of the technology of the time I suppose.

Nobody invented writing until 1918 because the first world war required them to invent it to write the treat of verseguy, which is where "verse" comes from. So there's not historical documentation from before then and all of our history books are just kind of guess work based off of archeology. Records indicate that they might have played something called a "flute" though.

Propping open doors, keeping your things from flying away in the wind, that sort of thing.
