Whois & Analysis for tunefind.com

Music is an art form and cultural activity whose medium is sound organized in time.

The common elements of music are pitch (which governs melody and harmony), rhythm (and its associated concepts tempo, meter, and articulation), dynamics (loudness and softness), and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture (which are sometimes termed the "color" of a musical sound).

Different styles or types of music may emphasize, de-emphasize or omit some of these elements.

Music is performed with a vast range of instruments and vocal techniques ranging from singing to rapping; there are solely instrumental pieces, solely vocal pieces (such as songs without instrumental accompaniment) and pieces that combine singing and instruments.

The word derives from Greek (mousike; "art of the Muses").

A song, most broadly, is a single (and often standalone) work of music that is typically intended to be sung by the human voice with distinct and fixed pitches and patterns using sound and silence and a variety of forms that often include the repetition of sections.

Written words created specifically for music or for which music is specifically created, are called lyrics.

If a pre-existing poem is set to composed music in classical music it is an art song.

Songs that are sung on repeated pitches without distinct contours and patterns that rise and fall are called chants.

Songs in a simple style that are learned informally are often referred to as folk songs.

Songs that are composed for professional singers who sell their recordings or live shows to the mass market are called popular songs.

These songs, which have broad appeal, are often composed by professional songwriters, composers and lyricists.

Art songs are composed by trained classical composers for concert or recital performances.

Songs are performed live and recorded on audio or video (or in some, cases, a song may be performed live and simultaneously recorded).

Songs may also appear in plays, musical theatre, stage shows of any form, and within operas.

A film, also called a movie, motion picture, theatrical film or photoplay, is a series of still images which, when shown on a screen, creates the illusion of moving images due to the phi phenomenon.

This optical illusion causes the audience to perceive continuous motion between separate objects viewed rapidly in succession.

The process of filmmaking is both an art and an industry.

A film is created by photographing actual scenes with a motion picture camera; by photographing drawings or miniature models using traditional animation techniques; by means of CGI and computer animation; or by a combination of some or all of these techniques and other visual effects.

Popular music is music with wide appeal that is typically distributed to large audiences through the music industry.

These forms and styles can be enjoyed and performed by people with little or no musical training.

It stands in contrast to both art music and traditional or "folk" music.

Art music was historically disseminated through the performances of written music, although since the beginning of the recording industry, it is also disseminated through recordings.

Traditional music forms such as early blues songs or hymns were passed along orally, or to smaller, local audiences.

A musician (or instrumentalist) is a person who plays a musical instrument or is musically talented.

Anyone who composes, conducts, or performs music may also be referred to as a musician.
