Beauty Of Music Essay

What is music? Music is the vocal or instrument (or both) combined in such a way as to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion. I personally believe that music is another form of art in a way. Music exemplifies what you feel and what you’re thinking in the same essence of art. Not only does music portray beautifulness, but music is also a form of communication as well.

It is honestly difficult to say when exactly music began. But, many believe that music can go back to early civilizations. Music is found everywhere; in the past and had eventually slowly evolved in the present. Music has been in existence for at least 50,000 years and was probably first invented in Africa and then evolved around the world. The earliest form

of music in Africa was by using the nature around them. Examples of this would be beating sticks and rocks onto trees and onto hand made drums. And during the Renaissance Era, the printing press was first used to print music.
An example of music is a melody. A melody is a sequence of single notes and the main most prominent line of voice in a piece of music. And the melody is the line that the audience follows. The melody is also musically satisfying. A rhythm is also important in music. The rhythm is what keeps the music flowing and it’s for lack of better words, the “gasoline of music.” And lastly, the harmony in music is the combination of simultaneously sounded musical notes to produce chords and chord progressions having a pleasing effect that are also important in music.
I think that all music has its own beauty and every piece of music is unique. Music expresses what words cannot describe. Many people, including myself, use music as a getaway if you will. Music is pleasuring, and from the theories of psychology, researches have found out why music gives us so much pleasure. Listening to music satisfies our desires and when we hear notes that follow patterns that are pleasing to us, we are simply pleased. What makes me like music is the melody, rhythm, harmony, form, and what the song or music is making me feel/what it’s portraying.
Not only do we, the audience, appreciate music, but the artists that produce the music is does well.

Many musicians and artists use music as a platform to do great things and to be recognized and eventually be rich and famous. And some play music and produce music because that’s their calling and they love doing it. “The true beauty of music is that it connects people. It carries a message, and we, the musicians, are the messengers.” (Roy Ayers). And many, use music as a get a getaway, an escape, or something that they know will always be there for them. “People haven’t always been there for me, but music always has.” (Taylor

Swift).
Music has definitely evolved over time. It has changed due to new technology and as our society changes, I believe that music changes as well. One example of how music has changed, is that it has more energy. Pop music has more or less grown more energetic since the 1940’s when Rock and Roll made its first appearance in the music world. Another way that music has changed, is that music is less organic, meaning that music today is more mechanized. This is where technology has changed music. Electronic keyboards, up to date software, and special microphones have made music have less of its organic sound.
Everything that makes music such as the pitch, melody, rhythm, harmony, timbre, form, and texture, is the perfect mix to make incredible music.

I believe that music is one of the greatest creations in the world. Music creates a good atmosphere and it soothes the mind and soul. Think about a world without music. Not only will the world be dull and non eventful, but it wouldn’t be educational in a way. I believe that there is a lesson or something to get out of every song, and music is important because music can motivate, encourage, and energize you. Music has the ability to communicate to you this is why music can be a form of communication. “Without music, life would be a mistake.” (Friedrich

Nietzsche)
