Sounds And Lyrics

Music is an art form whose medium is sound organized in time. Common elements of music are pitch (which governs melody and harmony), rhythm(and its associated concepts tempo, meter, and articulation), dynamics, and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture. The word derives from Greekμουσική (mousike), “(art) of the Muses“.

Sound is vibration transmitted through a solid, liquid, or gas; particularly, sound means those vibrations composed of frequencies capable of being detected by ears

Lyrics (in singular form Lyric) are a set of words that accompany music, either by speaking or singing. The word ‘lyric’ derives from the Greek word “lyrikos”, meaning “singing to the lyre”.

The word lyric came to be used for the “words of a popular song”; this meaning was recorded in 1829. The common plural predominates contemporary usage. Use of the singular form ‘lyric’ remains acceptable, yet is considered erroneous in referring to a singular song word as a ‘lyric’.

A song is a musical composition which contains vocal parts that are performed, ’sung,’ and feature words (lyrics), commonly accompanied by musical instruments (exceptions would be a cappella songs). The words of songs are typically of a poetic, rhyming nature, although they may be religious verses or free prose. The words are the lyrics.
