Spring Post #1:Music as literature

Literature are writings in which expression and form, in connection with ideas of permanent and universal interest, are characteristic or essential features, as poetry, novels, history, biography, and essays. "Taken from dictionary.reference.com"


That is one of many definitions of literature. Music is a way of self expression. So in sense, music and literature are one. A poem can express ones love in rhyme or not, Rap can express the same emotion with the sway of a beating drum. An opera combines both a work of writing and a symphony. They both can tug at a listener or reader with emotions of sorrow or triumph.
