Can we consider music to be literature? How do we define literature? What is the difference between a novel, a poem, a rap, a song, an opera, and a symphony?
lit·er·a·ture
ˈlidərəCHər,ˈlidərəˌCHo͝or/
noun
- written works, especially those considered of superior or lasting artistic merit."a great work of literature"
Right above, is the google definition of literature. So, what does this have to with music? Let me break it down.
There is a a ridiculous amount of variety in the music Industry. But, they all have something in common. They are all "wirtten works" because someone took the time to put that piece together. They also have a common goal of wanting to become a " lasting artistic merit." So yes, Music is literature.
Novels , poems raps, songs ,operas and symphonies are all forms of entertainment. They are all trying to speak to people. The difference between these is that they all appeal to different audiences. Im not saying that someone who enjoys going to the opera doesn't enjoy some Lil wayne every now and than , but for the most part , different people enjoy these different things.
