[flyingharmony.livejournal.com]

Activity: Ouverture
Points: Long debate: Participation 10pts, Additional comment: 2pts, 30pts limit.
Deadline: Submit your answers by Monday, April 30th @ 22:59 UTC (timezone converter).
Details: New club leader, new luck, don't they say? Let's start with discussing a fundamental question: Music. We all love music, at least we who joined the music club. But what does music mean? Can we define music like we can define physical laws? What does music mean to us, how does it influence our lives, our thinking, etc? There's lots of material for discussions. As always, you'll get ten points for your initial comment (which should be at least 100-150 words long) and two more for each additional comment (I'm not giving you any limits for this, but please, show that you've put some thought and effort in it, just saying "I agree/don't agree" isn't enough) with a limit of 30 points as a total.

Note: I've turned notifications off for this, so if there are any questions etc, feel free to contact me via PM!

Note #2: As always, please don't forget to sign each comment with your name&house and to check if you're on the roster - there will be no grace periods!

Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent. Victor Hugo recommends you to join the Club.

I think there are ways to measure music, maybe, in that there are beats and cadences and pitches, but I don't know that music is something that can be defined completely. What is music to some can be noise to others, or even poetry, sometimes. I think it sometimes means different things to different people, and that it should. Like writing, and paintings, and really, any other form of art, music is something that the creator has a right to define as they wish and the audience has the same right to interpret and make their own.

Personally, I'm interested in what music makes me feel at any given time. Sometimes the lyrics have a lot to do with it, but sometimes I just find the mood I'm in has a lot to do with what I like listening to.
