What is Music?

Music is generally defined as arranging sound to combine form, harmony, melody, rhythm, or expressive content. Music can be profoundly evocative, and have deep resonances, without being familiar, and without calling up specific memories. All of us have had the experience of being transported by the sheer beauty of music—suddenly finding ourselves in tears, not knowing whether they are of joy or sadness, suddenly feeling a sense of the sublime, or a great stillness within.

Music Genre

'What kind of music?' This question is always asked by the person whenever you are having a conversation about music. Music comes from different genres for us to enjoy.

The three factors that describe why the genre is asked and made are:

1. When one is involved in several types of activity that all leads to this question.

2. When one has to reply in a foreign language, and, above all

3. When one does not know how to reply.

Having a variety of genres just makes everything simple to talk through.

Out of many genres, there are two genres I would Like to mention, and they are:

1. K-pop

K-pop is a form of popular music originating in South Korea as part of South Korean culture. It includes styles and genres from around the world, such as pop, hip hop, R&B, rock, jazz, gospel, reggae, electronic dance, folk, country, disco, and classical on top of its traditional Korean music roots. The music industry in South Korea is a phenomenon that drags millions of fans all over the world. Asian music, is one of the few music industries that stays at the top, adding every year more and more fans to their ranks. The impact of K-pop has pushed its wave to the western side not limited to Asian countries and spread its popularity all over the world.

2. Opera

Opera genres have been defined in different ways, not always in terms of stylistic rules. Some, like opera seria, refer to traditions identified by later historians, and others, like Zeitoper, have been defined by their inventors. Opera in this country is coming into its own as a vital theatrical experience, and it is growing more popular despite economic strain. There is no longer one opera company. But more understanding and knowledge are needed to get rid of past impressions and to prove that opera is both within the comprehension of the ordinary person and worthy of high aspiration and serious study.
