The Sound of Music
July 7th 2006 01:10
For millennia, music has been a vital part of human life. Music is said to have a profound impact on our mood, and this is probably because it speaks directly to our emotions. Because of this, music has extensive roles.
Music is used in religious rituals and ceremonies. It allows communication with higher powers and other worlds. Peace and war time both have various uses for music. Social status is denoted by different forms of music. And we learn from music: be it how to react/what to expect in cinema/movies or how to act in certain situations, music holds the answer. Music is also used in many areas of entertainment.
Music an ageless, universal tool. Over the next few weeks I’m going to examine the different uses of music over many millennia, and how these uses reflect changes in culture and technology, and vice versa.
