The term "music", in a general sense, is indefinite, yet boundless.
For the most part, the casual listener defines music, if at all, in vague, subjective ways, based upon personal preferences and experiences.
More often, musical tastes are simply shared collectively, with little regard given to artistic expression of music beyond lavish production values and sensational presentations. Essentially, such attitudes toward music are representative of the cultural values of the day-- and they are misleading.
As artistic forms and representations, sound compositions are as expressive and powerful as any others, and they will not be confined, by their very nature, to narrow limits of imagination-- as both composer and discriminating individual listener well know.
