@MTilsonThomas @TEDtalks about #Music & Emotion (throughout history)

"Music"—I felt like there might be something more to that word ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which the below video builds ...

---

The word “Music” is built on ancient words that mean “Muse (Inspiring Goddess, one of the daughters of Zeus & |Mnemosyne).”

---

Michael Tilson also uses these words that strengthen your foundation:

|TinPanAlley, 'What, |How,' (the only two things that |Matter in music) |Language, |Notate/|Encode, '|Instinct & |Intelligence, |Improviser & Composer' (the two |Sides of our |Consciousness), Vibrations-per-Second, Why (what always happens when the music |Stops)

and he shows us how music echoes Emotions in its Styles:

|Emotions
• Happy
• obviously more than these two emotions—more like 'how music propels listeners all the way to "happy" from ...'
• |Sad

Styles
• Classical
• |Opera
and there are obviously more styles of music (though those two might be 'the prototype for all the types of music that followed'):
• Popular
• Rock
• Heavy Metal
• Country-|Western
• |Rap
• |Baroque
• |Romantic
• |Blues
• Jazz
• etc.

... But words are still evolving ... You know anything about recent developments of meaning here? Comment below!
