| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Whether you are a virtuoso or completely tone deaf, music plays a role in your life. While a prominent professional industry, music's origins are humble: it came from the people as a means of celebrating, telling stories, appeasing or praising the gods...music was a way of expressing life and its events. Music still fills these roles today. Whether you listen to the top 40 on the radio, stream classics online or attend concerts or performances, music is a part of your life. From the elements like pitch and rhythm that make up music, to what makes it sound the way it does, to significant composers, this book is your entry point to the world of music. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added.
