Music
Music is an art form and cultural activity whose medium is sound organized in time. The common elements of music are pitch (which governs melody and harmony), rhythm (and its associated concepts tempo, meter, and articulation), dynamics (loudness and softness), and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture (which are sometimes termed the "color" of a musical sound). Different styles or types of music may emphasize, de-emphasize or omit some of these elements. Music is performed with a vast range of instruments and vocal techniques ranging from singing to rapping; there are solely instrumental pieces, solely vocal pieces (such as songs without instrumental accompaniment) and pieces that combine singing and instruments. The word derives from Greek μουσική (mousike; "art of the Muses"). See glossary of musical terminology.
Voice
Her voice was ever soft,
Gentle and low, an excellent thing in woman.
William Shakespeare, King Lear (1608), Act V, scene 3, line 272.
Music
Writ in the climate of heaven, in the language spoken by angels.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, The Children of the Lord's Supper, line 262.
Voice
Her silver voice
Is the rich music of a summer bird,
Heard in the still night, with its passionate cadence.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, The Spirit of Poetry, line 55.
