Caution: Now Entering The Music Zone

What does music really mean?


Music is an art form whose medium is sound organized in time. Common elements of music are pitch, rhythm, dynamics, and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture. The word derives from Greek μουσική (mousike).

The creation, performance, significance, and even the definition of music vary according to culture and social context. Music ranges from strictly organized compositions, through improvisational music to oratorical forms. Within "the arts", music may be classified as a performing art, a fine art, and auditory art.

To people in many cultures, music is inextricably intertwined into their way of life. Greek philosophers and ancient Indians defined music as tones ordered horizontally as melodies and vertically as harmonies. By all accounts there is no single and inter- cultural universal concept defining what music might be, except that it is 'sound through time'.


Film Score:

A film score is a broad term referring to the music in a film, which is generally categorically separated from songs used within a film. The term film score is frequently synonymous with film soundtrack, though a soundtrack may also include the songs used in the film, while the score does not. A score is sometimes written specifically to accompany a film, but may also be compiled from previously written musical compositions.

Each individual piece of music, within a film's score, is called a cue and is typically a composition for instruments and/or non-individually featured voices. Since the 1950s, a growing number of scores are electronic or a hybrid of orchestral and electronic instruments.[1] Since the invention of digital technology and audio sampling, many low budget films have been able to rely on digital samples to imitate the sound of real live instruments.
