Music

Music is an art form and cultural activity that involves the organized combination of sounds and silence. It typically includes the elements of pitch (melody and harmony), rhythm (timing and tempo), dynamics (loudness and softness), and timbre (the quality of sound). Music can be vocal, instrumental, or a blend of both, and it can express a wide range of emotions and ideas. It serves various functions, including entertainment, communication, ritual, and personal expression. Music can be created, performed, and experienced in numerous genres and styles, each reflecting different cultural backgrounds and personal tastes. Music is a universal feature of human society, present in virtually every culture throughout history.
