Understanding Music: Past and Present

Music moves through time; it is not static. In order to appreciate music we
must remember what sounds happened, and anticipate what sounds might come
next. Most of us would agree that not all sounds are music! Examples of sounds
not typically thought of as music include noises such as alarm sirens, dogs barking,
coughing, the rumble of heating and cooling systems, and the like. But, why? One
might say that these noises lack many of the qualities that we typically associate
with music.
