Music is a universal and unifying language.

’
To what extent do you agree?
Musichas always known to be the best platform to heal the disturbed mind
and soul. Althoughthere are myriads of languages for communication,
music in the past and till eternal will be considered as the common
language of mankind. This essay discusses why I strongly agree with this
objective.
To beginwith, musiccomprises various cultural facets which enable its
acceptance as a universal dialect to communicate. This is because any
musical rhythm has the power to spread the purpose of its composition
regardless of the lyrical terminology. An Indian national anthem, for
instance which is always sung before a cricket tournament with the
opponent's from a different nation ,the audience present in the stadium
gives standing respect to that pride tune along with the Indian team. Also
, for decades thispractice is followed and still in trend which typically
depicts respect for other countries culture. Thus music
is serving as a platform to unite nations in several ways through its
melodies. Another significant importance of music
is emotional bonding which it keeps alive amongst people.
In other words having said that words can generally be misunderstood
resulting in a weaker relationship but musical expression overshadows the
paucity of unintentional negative conversation. A person, for instance, who
is unable to deliver the true feelings to the other person of a different
language can easily be able to share that emotion through aromantic
melody without being misinterpreted in another context. Hence, universally
numerous style of musiccan be employed to build a strong inner bond
globally even without using a specific style to communicate. In conclusion,
owing to the facts the amalgamation of feelings that musicconsists it is
ubiquitous, I completely agree that musicfrom the past till the future will
continue to be a global language of mankind serving as a prominent way to
exchange the expressions of humanity and for building relations worldwide.

Music is a universal language. Or so musicians like to claim. “With music,”

they’ll say, “you can communicate across cultural and linguistic boundaries
in ways that you can’t with ordinary languages like English or French.”
On one level, this statement is obviously true. You don’t have to speak
French to enjoy a composition by Debussy. But is music really a universal
language? That depends on what you mean by “universal” and what you
mean by “language.”

Every human culture has music, just as each has language. So it’s true that
music is a universal feature of the human experience. At the same time,
both music and linguistic systems vary widely from culture to culture. In
fact, unfamiliar musical systems may not even sound like music. I’ve
overheard Western-trained music scholars dismiss Javanese gamelan as
“clanging pots” and traditional Chinese opera as “cackling hens.”

Nevertheless, studies show that people are pretty good at detecting the
emotions conveyed in unfamiliar music idioms—that is, at least the two
basic emotions of happiness and sadness. Specific features of melody
contribute to the expression of emotion in music. Higher pitch, more
fluctuations in pitch and rhythm, and faster tempo convey happiness, while
the opposite conveys sadness.

Perhaps then we have an innate musical sense. But language also has
melody—which linguists call prosody. Exactly these same features—pitch,
rhythm, and tempo—are used to convey emotion in speech, in a way that
appears to be universal across languages.

Listen in on a conversation in French or Japanese or some other language

you don’t speak. You won’t understand the content, but you will understand
the shifting emotional states of the speakers. She’s upset, and he’s getting
defensive. Now she’s really angry, and he’s backing off. He pleads with
her, but she doesn’t buy it. He starts sweet-talking her, and she resists at
first but slowly gives in. Now they’re apologizing and making up...
