One of the most ethereal arts, music is a composition of sounds that often create a series of feelings as the notes are played. There are songs written in many different ways, and each one is generally created to evoke an emotional response as the audience listens. Even if the person does not have the exact feelings the composer intended, there are few people left unaffected by the sounds they hear. This is the main goal of music, and the choice of form often is aimed at a specific audience.

Instrumental music has long been a part of the musical tradition of many cultures, but songs written with words are also a part of many cultures. For every generation there seems to be a new type of music being tried, and some have lasted centuries while others fade even as their audience ages. Each piece written has its own unique way to affect people, so it is an art form that is still alive and well.
