Welsh bardic music
Until the 17th century a bard would compose a poem knowing it was going to be sung. Poetry was called music of the tongue and string music was called music of the string. Cerdd means either poetry or music. When bardic music died out the knowledge of how the music was set also died out.[1][2]
