I love music! I listen
to music for my stress management. Language is not the barrier in music. So I
listen and enjoy the music in any languages even they are unknown to me.

Some definitions & quotes of music...
A definition of music is a definition, or statement of the meaning of, the term music!
An art of sound in time that expresses ideas and emotions in significant forms through the elements of rhythm, melody, harmony, and color.
The Concise Oxford dictionary defines music as "the art of combining the vocal or instrumental sounds (or both) to produce beauty of form harmony, and expression of emotion".
"The earth has music for those who listen"-----Shakespeare
"Music is the only language in which you cannot say a mean or sarcastic thing"-----Lord Erskine
"Good music does not have an expiration date"
There are many Ragas (Raags) in Indian classical music and each raga has specific time to sing. It is usually known as 'Raga Samaya Chakra'. Appropriate time for a particular raga is shown below.
There are several music instruments played either independently or accompanied in vocal. My favorite musical instrument is 'Tabala' (Tabla) which is a percussion instrument played in different 'Taals", the beats. Depending on number of beats and combination, it is called as a 'Taal'. The tabla looks like this;
My personal feeling is that without percussion instrument, the music is incomplete! The tabla beats resonates in the heart of the music listener through their heart beats. Therefore, I enjoy playing the tabla.
