Sonorous, mellifluous, wondrous

 My opinion of music is high. What about you? I find time for great ones and they appeal to my whole body as though a series of love potions has been administered to me and they lure me easily into more fulfilling encounters without ceasing. The truth is, beautiful musical compositions consist of natural, innocent, guilty rhythms that touch the heart marvelously with melody and corrupt the soul so intensely with goodness. They are concrete abstractions one is made to make out of one's feelings, as if they were sweet dreams, to be constructed and delivered by endowed minds and voices in lines and rhymes and tempo with content based, exceedingly riveting, extraordinarily gripping, hugely relevant and largely appreciable words transmitted orally or written to humanity through generations to affect lives mainly positively.

          Spell binding musical presentations are powerfully, profoundly and remarkably revealing.

        The aesthetic value of life, as portrayed by music cannot be over emphasised. By serving as a dependable form of entertainment, music reveals life as an experience filled with a therapeutic amount of pleasure. While it charms and overwhelms one, good music soothes and heals mental stress miraculously. It has a magical touch on the ears and the heart, too. One has an aurally pleasurable experience and a necessary, alleviating feeling that a heavy burden on one's mind is lightened or shattered or crushed to rubbles by the efficacy of a fine music and one is put in the right mood in the listening process. It reconciles the mutual desire of a restless body and a weary soul to be in accord, in harmony, in action. It lifts the soul so high the sky cannot pose a limit. It takes one to an ideal world out of this world where paradise is created out of excitement to every beneficiary. The body gestures this warm, wild, thrilling mental feeling as it rises to its climax and over, by spontaneous reaction, including catharsis, movement of the mobile body parts or a full blown dance. One is made to indulge in humming along and playing the music never to end, as one replays such choice tunes serially and it becomes an interesting ritual to catch the almost unspeakable feeling it gives over and over again.

       Love or romance is exemplified and extolled in strong terms by music. Music is a true lover of the soul, hence, it is successfully engaged to shape public idea about love and the overall benefits of love. It stirs in humans the desire to love and to be loved in a manner so tender and sweet and far reaching in reality. By advocating love, music aids the development of healthy relationships which ought to exist among humans for one and all to experience life as a worthy experience.

        If music is a revelation, musicians are revealers and the purpose of music is majorly to reveal. Musicians neither fall from the skies nor grow out of the ground like weeds. They have their biological and ancestral and societal roots. Their natural source, place of origin or birth and where and how they spend their lives afterwards are great influencers of their passion for and style of music. Therefore, it is normal to conclude that the content of music is a product of influence. Music reveals, celebrates and promotes the setting, the history, the mentality, the beliefs, the culture(dialect, dances, mode of dressing and its other fascinating features), the customs and traditions, and conventions peculiar to people in societies or tribe or race where musicians are born and bred. A typical musical piece adequately serves as a generally accepted medium of edutainment, satire and didacticism in concerned societies.

      The process of upward communication through which  humans present praises of, and supplications to supernatural beings or forces above employs music in its entirety and testimonies abound in its effective potency.

       I can go on and on to describe how nice musical compositions benefit not only us, but also posterity. That good music is sonorous, mellifluous and wondrous is indubitable. I love music, I hope everyone does, too. Who is your favourite musician?
       One more thing before I drop my pen; the benefits of music should be sought out in the composition, not necessarily in the composer. It may not always be about the composer or the singer of the words of a song, but it will always be about the relevance of the words of a song to you and I.
