Everybody likes music. But do you know that music is different from songs? Songs express feelings with lyrics (歌词) , but music with tones (音调) .Unlike songs, music tones have no specific meanings.
Different people may get different things from the same musical performance. Though some music works are difficult to understand, people need music in their daily lives because it brings fun to them. Different people like different music: Some love classical music, and others like pop music. Most young people like pop music. Pop music began in the USA and became popular around the world during the 1950s and 1960s,
The best-known early kind of pop music was rock and roll. Pop music has taken the place of native music in many parts of the world. It has caused the number of people for "jazz" music to become much smaller than that in the 1950s and earlier. And it now becomes the most popular one.

European classical music. In the 18th century, a lot of musicians came to study and work in Vienna.
In the Strauss family, there were two composers called Johann Strauss: the father and the son. The father, Johann Strauss the elder, wrote and played music for traditional dances, called the waltz. His dance music made him famous all over Europe. The son, Johann Strauss the younger, was also very successful and popular. He wrote over 150 waltzes. In 1867,he wrote The Blue Danube waltz.
Mozart was another very important composer. He was born in Austria in 1756.Before he was six, he played not only the piano but also the violin. His family took him around Europe, and he gave concerts in many cities. He wrote hundreds of wonderful pieces of music. But he became very poor and died in 1791 when he was only 35.

How similar are language and music?
Language is part of our daily lives, no matter where we live in the world. Similarly, music is part of many people’s daily lives, whether it is played on the radio on people’s drive to work or played in a concert. Both language and music play an
important role in our culture, and here are some of their similarities.
Both language and music have a writing system.
In English we record language using the alphabet, which is a collection of letters. Similarly, we use notes to keep a record of music. Just as we are reading this collection of letters on the screen and find meaning in it, musicians read notes and create meaning in the form of music which we can hear. So just as we read English, we can read music. By writing pieces of text or music, we are able to share experiences through time. We can read the ideas or hear the composition of someone who lived hundreds of years ago, which is really quite exciting.
Both vary with culture.
We can make a good guess at where someone is from by listening to the language he or she uses. In the same way, we know that styles of music are different around the world, giving us the opportunity to explore many different cultures through their music and offering us music for every situation. This also means that there is something for everyone! Even if we don’t like British pop melodies (英伦摇滚旋律) , we may love the energy of Latin American salsa music.
Both share emotions.
How do people know that I am angry? Of course they may be able to see it in my face, but they will know for sure through my words. Similarly, music can sound angry, sad or happy. Music can show us exactly how the composer was or is feeling, and it allows us to share that emotion. When we feel happy, we might want to sing and dance to a happy song to celebrate our happiness. In contrast, we have probably also listened to sad music when we were feeling down. I think we have all used music to express or process our emotions, often combining it with language in the form of song lyrics.

Research has shown that music has an important influence on one’s moods. So people use different kinds of music to change their moods.
If you feel stressed and worry a lot, you can listen to pop music because it will make you feel relaxed. Some students are crazy about computer games and feel overexcited, so listening to country music can make them feel calm and peaceful. Some people fee tired and sleepy, so they can listen to rock music. After they listen to it, they will be excited. Sometimes I fee lonely and sad. Listening to disco music can make me happy again.
Tan Dun is my favourite composer. He can make music with common object like stones and paper. He is best known for winning an Oscar for his music in the film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
