Music is an arrangement of sound through time that produces a reaction in the listener.
These sounds can be arranged vertically to produce a rich, full sound or a simple clear melody. The reaction that music produces in people is different for everyone, however the intent of the arrangement of sound and silence is to inspire, retrieve a reaction, or to tell a story. To ask a person to define music is like asking one to define art. In many forms art is beautiful and pleasing to the eye, yet some is gaudy and irritating. The difference between art and trash is a thin line that is made by a single determining factor.
