Instrumental
An instrumental is a musical composition or recording without lyrics, or singing, although it might include some inarticulate vocals, such as shouted backup vocals in a Big Band setting. The word "song" is widely misused by people in the popular music industry to describe any musical composition, whether sung or played only by instruments."The music is primarily or exclusively produced by musical instruments. An instrumental can exist in music notation, after it is written by a composer; in the mind of the composer (especially in cases where the composer himself will perform the piece, as in the case of a blues solo guitarist or a folk music fiddle player); as a piece that is performed live by a single instrumentalist or a musical ensemble, which could range in size from a duo or trio to a large Big Band, concert band or orchestra.
Voice
The Angel ended, and in Adam's ear
So charming left his voice, that he awhile
Thought him still speaking, still stood fix'd to hear.
John Milton, Paradise Lost (1667; 1674), Book VIII, line 1.
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.
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.
