Music and musician
The people living in the Britain Isles are very fond of music. It is quite natural that concerts of the leading symphony orchestras, numerous folk groups and music bands are very popular. The promenade concerts are probably the most famous. They held in 1840 in the Queen’s hall and were directed by Sir Henry Wood. They still continue today in the Royal Albert Hall. They take place every night for about three months in the summer and the programmers include new and contemporary works, as well as classics. Among them are symphonies and other pieces of music composed by Benjamin Brillen, the famous English musician. Usually, there is a short winter season lasting for about a week.

Text: Understanding Music
If we were asked to explain the purpose of music, our immediate reply might be "to give pleasure". That would not be far from the truth, but there are other considerations.
We might also define music as "expression in sound", or "the expression of thought and feeling in an aesthetic form", and still not arrive at an understanding of its true purpose. We do know, however, even if we are not fully conscious of it, that music is a part of living, that it has the power to awaken in us sensations and emotions of a spiritual kind.
Listening to music can be an emotional experience or an intellectual exercise. If we succeed in blending the two, without excess in either case, we are on the road to gaining the ultimate pleasure from music. Having mastered the gift of listening to, say, a Haydn symphony, the ear and mind should be ready to admit Mozart, then to absorb Beethoven, then Brahms. After that, the pathway to the works of later composers will be found to be less bramblestrewn than we at first imagined.
Music, like language, is a living, moving thing. In early times organised music belonged to the church; later it became the property of the privileged few. Noble families took the best composers and the most talented performers into their service. While the status of professional musicians advanced, amateur musicians found in music a satisfying means of self- expression, and that form of expression broadened in scope to embrace forms and styles more readily digested by the masses.
