40、 Music is the art of making sound by human voice or special musical instruments like violin, oboe, trumpet, drum and so on. In music, sounds are arranged in time to give a pleasing result. There are many different kinds of music. Music is written using note symbols on a staff, which is a grou
41、p of horizontal lines. The line which a note is written on shows what pitch it is. The notes are separated into measures using vertical lines on the staff. II. What is a song? A song is a piece of music which has words in. Old Macdonald had a Farm is a song. Songs can be made in many ways. Some
42、 people form bands which write and record songs to make money from it. Other songs are folk songs, which are songs created by people long ago and have been sung as tradition in many countries. Some people also make parodies of songs, which is changing the words of the song but keeping the tune. Paro
43、dies are usually made to make fun of a song or it's writer/singer. III. Origins and Characteristics Chinese music can be traced back as far as the third millennium B.C. Manuscripts and instruments from the early periods of its history are not extant, however, because in 212 B.C., Shih Huang-ti of
44、the Ch'in dynasty caused all the books and instruments to be destroyed and the practice of music to be stopped. Certain outlines of ancient Chinese music have nevertheless been ascertained. Of primary significance is the fact that the music and philosophy of China have always been inseparably bound;
45、 musical theory and form have been invariably symbolic in nature and remarkably stable through the ages. Ancient Chinese hymns were slow and solemn and were accompanied by very large orchestras. Chamber music was also highly developed. Chinese opera originated in the 14th cent. as a serious and refined art.
