The ancient Romans had blown instruments, plucked stringed instruments, drums, rattles, gonglike metal pans, and organs.
Their blown instruments included horns called cornu, trumpets called tubae, oboes, flutes, panpipes, and possibly Bagpipes (evidence for bagpipes is inconclusive). They seem not to have had single reed instruments such as clarinets.
They had lyres, including expensive lyres called kythera, and a lute, seen in art work as having three strings, though the lute seems not to have been very popular. Bowed instruments had not yet been invented, and though there were harps, especially from Egypt, they were not used much in ancient Rome.
The organ of ancient Rome was a pipe organ usually with pressure regulated by a wind chest that was kept under water pressure, though some other wind chest or bag seems also to have been used. Pictures are not very clear and there are only fragmentary remains.

There were no distinguished composers for the first musical pieces to be sung in medieval cathedrals. However, they (as well as any other music before it that we know of) were not documented until Pope Gregory charged his monks with devising a way to write lyrics and sheet music for the songs to preserve them. They are now known as either "Gregorian Chant" or "Plainsong", and are still preformed in European cathedrals today.
