The meaning of music
Music has accompanied humanity since the earliest times. This is confirmed by musical instruments that are found during excavations of ancient cities.
And today good music can excite our feelings and emotions. There are probably very few completely indifferent people who will not be touched by any melody.
Certainly, musical talent not given to everyone, a person may not have musical ear and voices, but almost everyone can be taught to listen, understand and appreciate music.
Music is truly a miracle drug that can control human emotions. With the help of music you can cope with pain and melancholy, find joy and feel happy.
And these are unspoken statements. Doctors have proven that when listening to good music, the parts of the brain that are “responsible” for creating a feeling of euphoria are activated in a person. True, to stimulate the pleasure centers of different people it is necessary to use different melodies. It is for this reason that people's musical tastes can be radically opposite.
Our ancestors gave music great importance, they believed that certain melodies could make a person happy or, on the contrary, make them worry. Therefore, various ritual songs and melodies appeared that accompanied a person throughout his life. For example, “wedding” songs were performed at wedding ceremonies so that the newlyweds would be happy in their life together.
Certainly, modern people they no longer perceive music as something magical that can influence life and destiny, but this has not diminished the love for this type of art. Therefore, Music Day is a holiday not only for musicians, but also for ordinary people.
International Music Day was established on October 1, 1975 by decision of UNESCO. Music Day is celebrated all over the world in 2018 October 1. One of the initiators of the holiday is the composer Dmitry Shostakovich.
