WORLD MUSIC DAY

How will the world be without music? Soundless boring and empty. One of the gifts the creator has blessed humanity with is the sound of music. According to history, music made its debut appearance in 100B.C(I disagree with this though, there was music from the beginning of
the world).

Music is found in every known culture, past and present, varying widely between times and places. Since all people of the world, including the most isolated tribal groups, have a form of music, it may be concluded that music is likely to have been present in the ancestral population prior to the dispersal of humans around the world. Consequently, music may have been in existence for at least 55,000 years and the first music may have been invented in Africa and then evolved to become a fundamental constituent of human life._source

A lot of time, we often confuse music with sound. To me, music is made intentionally, it is the mixture of variety of sounds in an attempt to create a meaningful melodious engagement with the listener with the purpose to soothe, ease, relax, entertain, arouse, inform and/or motivate.

Many authors define music as an organized combination of sound and silent moments. Let’s look at an example. A car alarm transmits sound and silence in in organized way, but would anyone call this noise music? So, what is missing? Why isn’t a car alarm music?

In a more teachable and all-embracing definition, music is created by a flowing composition of melody, harmony and rhythm.

What is melody?
Melody is the “singable” flow of sound. It is the “main voice” that stands out from everything else.

What is harmony?
The overlapping notes that serve as a base to the melody are the harmony. For example, a person playing the guitar and singing is making harmony with the chords in the guitar and creating the melody with his/her voice. Chords are an overlap of many notes that complement the melody and are called the harmony. We will examine chords later.

Music is life
Even right now, its all very interesting how I've been able to distinguish these like terms and how they relate to each other to bring about the awesome results we have bamboozing our world today.

We would have also noticed that music never gets old. My father has these couple of selection of tracks from when he was in his 20's. He plays them anytime he's in a groovy mood. I listen to some of these music and they are awesome. Music never gets old.
Respect to Micheal Jackson, he helped me in laying a solid foundation in the world of music.

Music is like art, it is boundless, it is an elaborate expression of emotion and freedom.
