    Music has played an important role in many cultures and eras throughout history. It was a significant part of social and cultural life in Ancient Greece. During the Baroque era, opera developed and contrapuntal music became prevalent. Romantic era composers like Beethoven introduced a more dramatic and expressive musical style. Music can express emotions and thoughts, and different cultures use music as a form of communication. While the nature and definition of music has been debated, it generally involves elements of melody, harmony, rhythm, and other musical components. Music is seen by some as a way to find beauty, cope with life's challenges, and connect to the spiritual or divine.

    Music
    A painting on

    (ca. 510 BC)
    Musical nature of man
     Music was an important part of cultural and social life
    in Ancient Greece.
    The era of Baroque music (1600-1750) began the first
    opera were written and when contrapuntal music
    became prevalent.
     In 1800, the Romantic era (1800-1890) in music
    developed, with Ludwig Van Beethoven and Frantz
    Schubert as transitional composers who introduced a
    more dramatic, expressive style.
    Nature of Music
     Many speculations came through about Music.
     Many controversy about music and what constitutes music.
     Music has been a subject of debate by many people philosopher,
    musicians, and scientist. However the meaning of Music varies
    through history and the word music came from the Greek μουσική
    (mousike ) ,it has been used or part of mathematical quadrivium,
    geometry, astronomy and musica.
     On the other, music expresses activity which conveys the listener
    moods, as emotions thoughts, impressions or philosophical sexual.
     According to researchers music is an art form whose medium sound.
     In music are included a bunch of elements which governs melody
    and harmony, rhythms , tempo meter and articulation.
    Continued
     If humanities represent a group of academics disciplines which
    study the human condition, by using those methods we are
    primarily critical or speculative.
     Music has been a concept and was split into three major kinds by
    the fifth philosopher Boethius, which is Universal music human
    music, and instrumental music. Therefore, only instrumental
    music referred to music as performed sound.
     Music has his own language, and different culture translate
    music in a different ways.
     Some messages come from music, dance, etc .In some culture
    people use music to say something. Even in politic where it is very
    difficult for some people to express themselves they use music.

    Every day holds intimidations of paradise, the scent a rose, the
    colors of a sunset, the sound of music.
    Can music really help us cope whatever life brings ? And is there
    music of such ineffable beauty that it can counter and
    transform fear and suffering?
    If, as Joseph Campbell says” the first function of a art is to
    transport the mind past the Guardians- desire and fear- of the
    paradisal gate”.
    Without always knowing why, we seek beauty in various forms
    all our lives. Very often, our hunger sends us to concerts and
    record stores, to museums and gardens to faraway places in
    search of whatever we think will improve the quality of life.
    Music is the sound of beauty
     Emotions are more manageable when music gives them an objective
    reality outside us. A seventeenth-century Spanish kind had to hear
    celebrated tenor, Farinelli, sing every day before he considered
    himself fit to meet his court. Are we so different when a few minutes
    of Bach, Mozart, or Beethoven can bring us back into the balance
    and reestablish our sense or the essential goodness of life? ( said:
    Maureen Mc Carthy Draper).
     We may not understand what comes over us, why our body relaxes or
    why our heart melts at the sound of a certain melody or chord
    change. But when music puts us in harmony with our deepest nature
    we feel more authentic, more fluid and responsive. Although music
    can bless us every day, we hear more and more about its healing
    power at times of special need during grief, loss , and illness..
    Continued

     The heightened sensitivity music can create, beyond


    what we ordinary experience, is itself healing,
    stimulating our deep reserves of energy.
     We can explore many approaches to music, and each
    of us will respond to different ones. Some may ask that
    you listen to music that in ways that may be new to
    you; others ask for your willingness to use your voice
    and body to experiment.
    Music for God and for soul.
    o Music and theater scholars studying the history and anthropology
    of Semitic and early Judeo-Christian culture, have also discovered
    common link between theatrical and activity in the classical
    cultures of the Hebrews with those of the later cultures of the Greek
    and Romans.
    o Certainly beauty is one way the divine reveals itself to us. The
    religions of the world have long recognized the value of stained
    glass. Art and music as a source of inspiration to worship. Music
    itself has a religious dimension, satisfying a longing for something
    that points beyond the temporal to the eternal.
    o The spirit and beauty we hear in music are not just a subjective
    experience but an expression of a larger force that sustains and
    animates life.
    Continued
     Adoration comes logically first, and in the Model Prayer
    occupies the foremost place “ our Father, which art in
    heaven; hallowed be thy name”. Worship is that approach of
    the Soul of God which, sensible of his love, majesty, holiness
    and infinite greatness, feels and seeks more fully to feel, the
    awe, reverence and holy affection due his great name.
     Praise is not usually denominated prayer , since its
    expression is ever associated with music, but the heart’s
    desire, of which psalm and song are but the utterance, is
    truly communion with the Eternal. In one respect also praise
    adorable in a contrast over against all other acts of devotion.
    Continued
     With the help of music an assembly or worshipers can more
    easily and harmoniously blend their voices into one and thus “
    with one mouth “ as with one mind glorify God.
     Although the attitude assumed by the general assembly in
    regard to instrumental music in worship has already, in general
    terms, been indicated, it is advisable to revert to that point and
    treat it somewhat more fully.
     As the Bible mentioned at Psalm 150 v-3 Praise Him with
    trumpet sound; praise Him with harp and lyre. Praise Him with
    timbrel and dancing, praise Him with stringed instruments and
    pipe. Praise Him with loud cymbals; and praise Him with
    resounding cymbals.
