Different types of music in accordance with different human characters and emotions have always been made and performed. Similarly, there have been various music types suitable for diverse wild and domestic animals such as quadrupeds, poultries, and even insects. To put it simply, the behavior of these animals would stay somehow under control through different melodies appropriately-chosen for the nature of each of them. Hunting was one of the activities which music had become integrated with. In the course of hunting, the music by various instruments, either martial or festive (lyric), was played in different purposes. One of the purposes procured by the performed melodies was controlling animals’ movements of the hunter’s volition, which would ease the act of hunting. The hunters had very well understood that a group of animals were attracted to the soft tuneful music they hear, so they would try to approach the sound source; besides, another group hearing the strident sound of ear-splitting musical instruments like horn and drums would become terrified and then leave their places fearfully, which would provide their more exposure to the hunters. Thus, employing musical influence, the hunters would make animals leave their nests and guide them to a desired area for hunting them much more easily and in a reassured way. This paper revolves around the existence of the above-discussed awareness of such an influence together with the pieces of advice and recommendations being made to the hunters in this regard.
