Music is human expression using elements of sound and silence to communicate, entertain and/or celebrate. Music predates the written word, and possibly even language.
Each environment provided its own birdsongs and animals sounds that influenced the sounds humans would recreate, and then call music.
The quality and performance of music is valued by the culture and social context that gives rise to the music.
What is pleasing and fulfilling to one culture and time may be harsh and disturbing to another.
The study of music, in discerning broad styles and genres, gives evidence of the meeting of civilzations and societies.
• “Music can noble hits impart/ Engender fury, kindle love/ With unsuspected eloquence can move/ And manage all the man with secret art.” Joseph Addison
• “I value my garden more for being full of blackbirds than of cherries, and very frankly give them fruit for their songs.” ~ Joseph Addison
• “Music I heard with you was more than music, / And bread I broke with you was more than bread; ...” ~ Conrad Aiken
• “Every element has a sound, an original sound from the order of God; all those sounds unite like the harmony from harps and zithers.” ~ Hildegard of Bingen
• “There is the Music of Heaven in all things and we have forgotten how to hear it until we sing.” ~ Hildegard of Bingen
• “Underneath all the texts, all the sacred psalms and canticles, these watery varieties of sounds and silences, terrifying, mysterious, whirling and sometimes gestating and gentle must somehow be felt in the pulse, ebb, and flow of the music that sings in me. My new song must float like a feather on the breath of God.” ~ Hildegard of Bingen
• “Music is part of us, and either ennobles or degrades our behavior.” ~ Boethius
• “To me, the greatest pleasure of writing is not what it's about, but the inner music that words make.” ~ Truman Capote
• “Music hath charms to soothe a savage beast, to soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak.” William Congreve
• “We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams.” ~ Roald Dahl
• “Good music is very close to primitive language.” Denis Diderot
• “I know why the caged bird sings, ah me, when his wing is bruised and his bosom sore; when he beats his bars and he would be free, it is not a carol of joy or glee, but a prayer that he sends from his heart's deep core.” ~ Paul Laurence Dunbar
• “There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats.” ~ Théophile Gautier
• “Music is love in search of a word.” Sidney Lanier
• “The wind that makes music in November corn is in a hurry. The stalks hum, the loose husks whisk skyward in half-playing swirls, and the wind hurries on.... A tree tries to argue, bare limbs waving, but there is no detaining the wind.” ~ Aldo Leopold
• “Happiness is not a matter of intensity but of balance, order, rhythm and harmony.” ~ Thomas Merton
• “Music is a more potent instrument for education than any other.” ~ Plato
• “Every heart sings a song, incomplete, until another heart whispers back. Those who wish to sing always find a song. At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet.” ~ Plato
• “The author's conviction on this day of the New Year is that music begins to atrophy when it departs too far from the dance; that poetry begins to atrophy when it gets too far from music. ” ~ Ezra Pound, ABC of Reading, Preface, 1934
• “The effect of music is so very much more powerful and penetrating than is that of the other arts, for these others speak only of the shadow, but music of the essence.” ~ Arthur Schopenhauer
• “Music fills the infinite between two souls.” Rabindranath Tagore

Troubadours were composers and performers of lyric poetry during the High Middle Ages, 1100-1350.
The troubadour's lute, a stringed instrument with a neck and deep, round back, is a precursor to guitars, banjos and mandolines.
A “chantefable” is a combination of prose and verse performed by troubadours.
