==Description==

'''Music''' is an [[art]] form whose [[medium]] is [[sound]] and [[silence]]. Its common elements are [[pitch]] (which governs melody and harmony), rhythm (and its associated concepts tempo, meter, and articulation), [[dynamics]], and the sonic qualities of timbre and [[texture]]. The word derives from Greek μουσική (mousike; "art of the Muses").

The word derives from Greek μουσική (mousike; "art of the Muses").

The [[creation]], [[performance]], significance, and even the definition of music vary according to [[culture]] and social [[context]]. Music ranges from strictly organized compositions (and their recreation in performance), through [[improvisation]]al music to [[aleatoric]] forms. Music can be divided into [[genres]] and subgenres, although the dividing lines and relationships between music genres are often [[subtle]], sometimes open to personal [[interpretation]], and occasionally [[controversial]]. Within [[the arts]], music may be classified as a performing art, a fine art, and auditory art. It may also be divided among art music and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folk_music folk music]. There is also a strong connection between music and [[mathematics]]. Music may be played and heard live, may be part of a dramatic work or [[film]], or may be recorded.

To many people in many cultures, music is an important part of their way of life. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_philosophy Ancient Greek] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_philosophy#Ancient_Indian_philosophers Indian philosophers] defined music as tones ordered horizontally as [[melodies]] and vertically as harmonies. Common sayings such as "the harmony of the spheres" and "it is music to my ears" point to the notion that music is often ordered and pleasant to [[listen]] to. However, 20th-century composer [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Cage John Cage] thought that any sound can be music, saying, for example, "There is no [[noise]], only sound." Musicologist [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Jacques_Nattiez Jean-Jacques Nattiez] summarizes the relativist, post-modern viewpoint: "The border between music and noise is always culturally defined—which implies that, even within a single [[society]], this border does not always pass through the same place; in short, there is rarely a [[consensus]] ... By all accounts there is no single and intercultural [[universal]] concept defining what music might be."[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music]
