English literature is full of references of music. Literatures of different eras
reflect the likes, dislikes and nature of people belonging to that era. If you read
music-related phrases or poems of any era, you will find that these phrases or
poems reflect the same reasons people listened to music years back, as they do
today.
Music is, and has always been a part of mankind. Walk into any IT company
today, and you will see people working with their headphones on. Stroll into
the reception of any Multinational company, you will be greeted with a pleasant
music playing at a low volume from the speakers. Most people say that music
helps them work better and creates a relaxing ambiance. Any great occasion is
incomplete without music. Be it Valentine’s Day, friendship day, someone’s
birthday, or a party. On Valentine’s Day, love songs hit the top charts; special
cassettes are complied as valentine day’s specials. On parties and birthdays,
people like to celebrate with loud music.
Can you imagine any type of dance without music? Dance steps are created
according to the rhythm and beats of different types of music. Operas, plays
and musicals all revolve around music. While watching different dance forms
and musicals, you also enjoy the music that is a part of it.
You will find that music is your best companion. If you are feeling low, there
will be peppy songs to cheer you. If you are in a philosophical mood there will
be different types of music to add to your reflective mood. Different people
have different preferences towards music during different moods.
There is an endless variety of music available – instrumental, blues, jazz, rock,
pop, reggae and lots more. Every type of music has a different impact on
people. Some people prefer to begin their day with soft instrumental music.
Some prefer hard rock playing in their cars as they drive to work. Different
people like to end their day listening to different types of music.
So, music is an inherent part of human life. Even nature has it’s own music.
Bird’s chirping in the morning, water gushing down rivers, and breeze blowing
through trees are all a part of nature’s own music. Life without music would be
still and meaningless. That’s the reason people listen to music for different
reasons and at different times.
