“If this word ‘music’ is sacred and reserved for eighteenth and nineteenth century instruments, we can substitute a more meaningful term: organization of sound.” – John Cage
Well, Cage must have been tired of people calling his music.. not music. But this statement is a product of its time. Music has taken on such a broad definition to encompass everything that anyone cares enough to call music. I'm glad this is the case. Music should not be a term to describe a period of organized sound. It is universal.
