Music
Music is the art of arranging sounds in time through the elements of melody, harmony, rhythm, and timbre. General definitions of music include common elements such as pitch, rhythm, dynamics, and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture. Both the simple folk song and the complex electronic composition belong to the same activity, music. Modern music is heard in a bewildering profusion of styles, many of them contemporary, others engendered in past eras.
