Music which is original is individual and personal. That is to say,

it can be identified as belonging to a particular composer. It has

particular qualities, or a style, which are not copied from another. If

you can recognize the style of a composer, you will probably be able

5

to tell that a certain composition belongs to him or her even though

you have never heard it before.

A basket-maker has the skill of weaving and interweaving his

materials to create colorful patterns. Similarly, in music a composer

organizes his melodies and rhythm and combines sounds to create

10

harmony. A composer may be capable of thinking up very good,

original tunes, yet if tunes are poorly organized, that is, if the

workmanship is poor, the final result will not be up to standard. Good

music expresses feelings in a way that is suitable to those feelings.

These may be joy, sorrow, fear, love, anger, or whatever. Bad music,

15

on the other hand, may exaggerate some feelings and make them

vulgar, that is, cheap and ugly.

Good music will stand the test of time. It will not go out of

fashion but will continue to be enjoyed and respected long after it is

first introduced. It will gain a kind of permanent status while bad

20

music will disappear and be forgotten quickly. In pop music, where

the general rule seems to be “the newer the better,” the test of time is

the hardest of all to pass.
