Origin And Defination Of Music

Music is an Art  form whose medium is sound. Common elements of music are pitch (which governs melody and harmony,rhythm (and its associated concepts tempo, meter, and) articulation, dynamics, and the sonic qualities of timbre  and texture. The word derives from Greek  (mousike; "art of the Muses").

The creation, performance, significance, and even thedefination of music  vary according to culture and social context. Music ranges from strictly organized compositions (and their recreation in performance), through improvisational music to aleatoric forms. Music can be divided into genres and subgernes, although the dividing lines and relationships between music genres are often subtle, sometimes open to individual interpretation, and occasionally controversial. Within "the arts," music may be classified as a performing art, a fine art, and auditory art. There is also a strong connection between music and mathmatics.

To many people in many cultures music is an important part of their way of life.Greek philophers and ancient indian  philophers  defined music as tones ordered horizontally as melodies and vertically as harmonies. Common sayings such as "the harmony of the spheres" and "it is music to my ears" point to the notion that music is often ordered and pleasant to listen to. However, 20th-century composer John cage thought that any sound can be music, saying, for example, "There is no noise, only sound." Musicologist jean-jacquess summarizes the relativist, post-modern viewpoint: "The border between music and noise is always culturally defined—which implies that, even within a single society, this border does not always pass through the same place; in short, there is rarely a consensus ... By all accounts there is no single and intercultural universal concept defining what music might be.
