“CHILD’S PLAY*
(“music for children”)
(born post-‘mel bay’)
*mi cherie*
‘me’….’tormay…
may i ask yu something?

“(JUST ANOTHER) YOUNG MAN’S GAME”
(THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME…)

(“music” is an ‘art form’ and ‘cultural activity’ whose ‘medium’ is ‘sound’ organized in ‘time’)
.
(the common elements of ‘music’ are…)
‘pitch’
(which governs ‘melody’ and ‘harmony’)
.
‘rhythm’
(and its associated concepts of ‘(‘tempo’ / ‘meter’ / ‘articulation’))
.
‘dynamics’
(‘loudness’ / ‘softness’)
.
‘sonic qualities’ of ‘timbre’ + ‘texture’
(which are sometimes termed the “color” of a ‘musical sound’)
.
(different ‘styles’ or types of ‘music’ may (’emphasize’ / ‘de-emphasize’ / ‘omit’) some of these ‘elements’)
.
(‘music’ is performed with a vast range of ‘instruments’ + ‘vocal techniques’ ranging from ‘singing’ to ‘rapping’)
.
there are…
solely ‘instrumental pieces’
.
solely ‘vocal pieces’
(such as ‘songs’ without ‘instrumental accompaniment’)
.
*pieces that combine ‘singing’ + ‘instruments’*
.
(the word derives from ‘greek’ μουσική)
(mousike / “art of the muses”)
.
(in its most general form, the activities describing ‘music’ as an ‘art form’ or ‘cultural activity’ include…)
*the creation of works of music*
(‘songs’ / ‘tunes’ / ‘symphonies’)
the ‘criticism of music’
the study of the ‘history of music’
*the ‘aesthetic examination of ‘music”*
.
(‘ancient greek’ + ‘indian’ philosophers defined ‘music’ as ‘tones’ ordered ‘horizontally’ (as ‘melodies’) + ‘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'”)
(the ‘creation’, ‘performance’, ‘significance’, and even the ‘definition’ of music vary according to ‘culture’ and ‘social context’)
.
(indeed (?), throughout history, some new ‘forms’ or ‘styles’ of music have been criticized as “not being music”, including…)
*beethoven’s grosse fuge string quartet*
(in ‘1825’)‘
‘early jazz’
(in the beginning of the ‘1900s’)
‘hardcore punk’
(in the ‘1980s’)
(and what of ‘rap’?)
.
(there are many types of ‘music’, including…)
‘popular music’
‘traditional music’
‘art music’
*music written for ‘religious ceremonies’*
‘work songs’
(such as ‘chanteys’)
.
(‘music’ ranges from…)
‘strictly organized compositions’
(such as ‘classical music symphonies’ from the ‘1700s’ + ‘1800s’)
.
‘spontaneously played improvisational music’
(such as ‘jazz’)
.
(‘avant-garde’ styles of ‘chance-based contemporary music’
(from the ‘1900s’ + ‘2000s’)
.
(‘music can be divided into ‘genres’)
(EG – ‘country music’)
(‘genres’ can be further divided into ‘subgenres’)
(e.g., ‘country blues’ + ‘pop country’ are 2 of the many ‘country subgenres’,,,)
(…although the dividing lines and relationships between ‘music genres’ are often ‘subtle’, sometimes ‘open to personal interpretation’, and occasionally ‘controversial’)
(for example, it can be hard to draw the line between some ‘early 1980s hard rock’ + ‘heavy metal’)
(can’t ANY ‘art form’ be divided into ‘genres’?)
.
(within the ‘arts’, ‘music’ may be classified as a…)
‘performing art’
‘fine art’
‘auditory art’
.
(‘music’ may be…)
*’played’ (or ‘sung’) + ‘heard’ live’*

.

.
.
(the ‘music industry’ includes…)
*the ‘individuals’ who ‘create’ new ‘songs’ / ‘musical pieces’*
(such as ‘songwriters’ + ‘composers’)
