Music

In the world the most needy thing is music. Music gives of pleasant sound. When we are in sorrow, happiness then we listen to music. We can find dfiferent types of music like jazz, rock, pop, hiphop and so on. Different people have different choices like some like rock, some like pop some like jazz etc.
Music is an art form whose medium is sound. Common elements of music are  (which governs  and harmony, rythm (and its associated concepts , and the sonic qualities of  and texture. The word derives from , "(art) of the muses."
The creation, significance, and even the definition of music vary according to culture and social context. Music ranges from strictly organized compositions (and their recreation in performance), through improvisational music to  forms. Music can be divided into genres and subgenres 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 mathematics.
To many people in many cultures music is an important part of their way of life. Greek and ancient philosophersdefined 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  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.
