Music As Literature

Music: vocal or instrumental sounds (or both) combined in such a way as to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion.

Literature: written works, especially those considered of superior or lasting artistic merit.

      Music is a way to express yourself.  It can relax you and take your mind off of things. So, what is the difference between music and literature? Literature can be enjoyed, but once you put it into musical form it becomes a masterpiece. Music is for everyone, there is so many different genres to choose from so no matter who you are there is always something for you. Music is like a poem, it could rhyme but it doesn't have to.Music can be used for so many things like even changing your emotions.
