Music

Music is an art form and cultural activity whose medium is sound. It encompasses various elements such as pitch (including melody and harmony), rhythm (including tempo and meter), dynamics (loudness and softness), and the qualities of timbre and texture (sometimes termed the “color” of a sound). Music is often organized into structured compositions that can evoke emotions, communicate ideas, or contribute to social and cultural identity. It can be produced by vocalization or instrumental performance and spans a wide spectrum of genres and styles, from classical to popular music. Music plays a significant role in many aspects of society, including entertainment, religious ceremonies, and personal expression.
