Music

Music, we may say, is the art of organizing sounds. music is a rhythmic poem that inspires, a harmonious tone that tranquilize a melody of mystery and beauty. there are many kind of music, as does art or literature. since people have different idea of what is beautiful, so we have our choices from the magnificent compositions of music masters like Beethoven, bach, chopin, wagner, to the popular song and tunes the common music-hall.

only people of educated musical taste can appreciate the former, and the find no pleasure in the latter, while the common people are bored with what is called classical music, and find pleasure only in what musicians would call vulgar tunes however, good music often has a wonderful effect upon the feelings of even ignorant people. one poet has said, “ music hath charms to soothe the savage  beast”.

Soft and sweet music soothes the wearied the sad, the restless, grand music will fill strong men with great ambitions. the regimental band puts courage into the hearts of troops; the solemn hymns fill the worshippers with reverence. indeed, as the poet Dryden once asked, “ what passion cannot music raise and quell?”
