what does the word music means?

Music is conceptual time expressed in the structures of tones and silence. It is the exploration of time in complex generative forms through rigorous construction of patterns and combinations of natural stimuli like sound. Music is a human activity which involves structured and audible sounds, which is used for artistic or aesthetic, entertainment, or ceremonial purposes. Definitions vary in different cultures and social milieus.\n\nThe definition of music as sound with particular characteristics is taken as a given by psychoacoustics, and is a common one in musicology and performance. There are observable patterns to what is broadly labeled music, and while there are understandable cultural variations, the properties of music are the properties of sound as perceived and processed by humans.\n\nGreek philosophers and medieval theorists defined music as tones ordered horizontally (as melodies) and vertically (as harmonies). Music theory, within this realm, is studied with the presupposition that music is orderly and often pleasant to hear. However, in the 20th century, composers challenged the notion that music had to be pleasant by creating music that explored harsher, darker timbres.\n\n20th century composer John Cage disagreed with the notion that music was pleasant melodies. Instead, he argued that any sounds we can hear can be music, saying, for example, "There is no noise, only sound,". According to musicologist Jean-Jacques Nattiez (1990 p.47-8,55): "The border between music and noise is always culturally defined--which implies that, even within a single society, this border does not always pass through the same place; in short, there is rarely a consensus.... By all accounts there is no single and intercultural universal concept defining what music might be."\n\nThe composer Anton Webern expressed in his legendary statement With me, things never turn out as I wish, but only as is ordained for me-as I must stating the underlying generative process of music. The German philosopher Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe stated the nature of patterns and forms as the basis of music by stating that "architecture is frozen music". By this he meant that any natural stimuli that has underlying structural-patterns is musical in form.\n\nOther definitions of music list the aspects or elements that make up music. Molino (1975: 43) argues that, in addition to a lack of consensus, "any element belonging to the total musical fact can be isolated, or taken as a strategic variable of musical production." Nattiez gives as examples Mauricio Kagel's Con Voce [with voice], where a masked trio silently mimes playing instruments. In this example, sound, a common element, is excluded, while physical gesture, a less common element in definitions of music, is given primacy.

I think you are confused with red-neck. \n\nFolk is a good word, which encompasses all the richness of a culture. Its language, and literature; including music, stories, poems, etc. \n\nIt can sometimes refer to people who live a simple life or may live off the land. But there is a rich meaning to the idea of "folk" beyond the simple and mundane. Just the mention of "folklore", "folk music", "folk art" and "folk culture" say it all.

sound (countable and uncountable; plural: sounds)\n\nA sensation perceived by the ear caused by the vibration of air or some other medium. (He turned when he heard the sound of footsteps behind him.) \n\nThat is the definition of sound so if there is no ear with which to vibrate than that tree does not cause any sound. The falling does create the potential for sound, but until the vibrating air hits an eardrum there is no sound

Music is an expression of self. It is very powerful. It can affect mood, trigger memories...\nI think We attach to songs for two reasons. 1) The song conveys a message that reflects who we are and what we believe in. or\n2) It just has a snappy beat and we like the sound of it.\n\nCould music change the way the society perceives other cultures.  I'm guessing no. Primarily because there would typically be a language barrier and most people would not take the time to find out what the lyrics mean. But I believe if they did take that time, it would have some sort of positive impact. For example. Con Te Partiro sung by Anthony Bocelli is a very powerful love song when you look up the lyrics and then listen to it.\nAnyway, could music bring peace between cultures. I'm still thinking no on that. Interesting question.

I'm not sure I understand the question but:  The meaning of 'source of music' is telling you where the music originated, or who copyrited it first. I hope this helps!
