What is music?
Music is a collection of coordinated sounds. Making music is the process of placing sounds and tones in a sequence, often combined to create a uniform composition. People who make music creatively organize sounds for a desired result, such as a Beethoven symphony or one of Duke Ellington's jazz songs. Music consists of sounds, vibrations and quiet moments and it doesn't always have to be pleasant or beautiful. It can be used to convey a whole range of experiences, environments and emotions.
Music
Music is much more than just entertainment. It has been a feature of every known human society: anthropologists and sociologists have not yet found any culture in the course of human history that has not yet had music. Many evolutionary psychologists nowadays even make the argument that music preceded the language. Primitive tribes and religious practices have been using music for thousands of years to reach enlightened states, and Pythagoras used music to cure various psychological and physical ailments. Music always includes combinations of pitch, timbre, rhythm, dynamics, tempo, texture, melody and harmony, which create an overall structure. By combining these elements in different ways, a huge diversity of music is created. Great musicians have a passionate bond with the music they play. Although the music itself is their most important and accurate expression of how they think about music, they have also managed to say a few gripping things to describe what music is for them.
Music theory
Many people around the world can not read or write, but they can still communicate their thoughts and feelings verbally fine. Similarly, many intuitive, self-taught musicians have never learned to read or write music and find the whole idea of learning music theory tedious and unnecessary. However, like the educational leaps that can come with learning to read and write, music theory can help musicians master new techniques, perform unknown musical styles and develop the confidence they need to try new things. There remain many unanswered questions about old music, such as why so many different cultures came up with so many independent tone qualities in their music that were completely independent of each other. Many theorists have concluded that certain nut patterns just sound good for listeners, and certain other patterns do not. Music theory could then, quite simply, be defined as a search for how and why music sounds right or wrong. In other words, the purpose of music theory is to explain why something sounded like it did and how that sound can be recreated.
Music in ancient times
Around 500 AD, known as 'The Dark Ages, Christians established universities, mainly teaching music, art and literature. During this time Pope Gregory I collected and recorded the music, which we now know as the Gregorian chants. These chants were the only approved church chants. Much later, the University of Notre Dame in Paris saw a new kind of music, Organium. This music was sung all over Europe by the troubadours from France. It was during the Middle Ages that - Western. - Yeah culture recognized the arrival of the first great name in music: Guillaume de Machant. Because of the growth of humanism, holy music began to rise outside the church for the first time. A school for composers in the Netherlands trained people for the art of polyphony. The music flourished during this period and instrumental music and dance music were composed in abundance, but this was not always written down. When the composers rebelled, a new era began for music: the Baroque. Also the opera, the instrumental and the choir music were strong.

Music evolution
From about 1750 to 1820 the artists, architects and musicians no longer wanted to make music like in the Baroque period. Instead, they designed a bright style, which they thought reminded of classical Greece. There was a need for impersonal but toned and elegant music. Composers came from all over Europe to attend school in Vienna and they gradually developed the standard forms of music that would be used in the coming years. Classical times reached its peak with symphonies, sonatas and string quartets by the three greatest composers of the Viennese school: Franz Joseph Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Ludwig von Beethoven. At the same time Romantic music was composed by Franz Schubert. After this period, people felt that music didn't have enough emotion. There had to be more emotion. The composers put their personal feelings into the music. The composers from other countries wanted to express the musical spirit of their own country and so the music has evolved more and more. The music was also developed by improving existing instruments and designing new instruments.
Characteristics of music
In addition to the features of an individual note, there are also those that describe the composition or combination of musical notes:
