Bring Music To Life

Music can be explained as a combination of predetermined sounds. The process of making music involves organizing sounds, and tones in a specific order and combining them into a unified music composition. Musicians use ingenuity and creativity to organize sounds for a specific result.Music is the art form that combines rhythm and sound to form a functional melodic line. Music itself transcends time, space, and cultures. Music can carry a mood without speaking any specific words. It can also be captured and recorded in a written universal language unique unto any other art form.Music is an ancient art form that began during prehistoric times. It carries with it a history for each human culture throughout time. This was also the time period when polyphony was developed, which means the usage of multiple sounds coming together to form a melody and harmony. The birth of music, as it is today, truly emerged out of the Renaissance time period. In the sixteenth century, a time period known as the golden age, began. The art of vocal polyphony in both sacred and secular music began to emerge and the theories on music were formulated. Gioseffo Zarlino was the Master of the Chapel at St. Marks in Venice, Italy. His work on proportion in voice and music formulated a harmony on the whole.
