301 Words To Describe Music

 ,
Music is pure expression with sound. This is considered a priceless element of the human experience that has the power to transport the imagination and move emotions.

Describing music is difficult as it has the ability to touch the depths of our intellect. As such, descriptions often feel cliche or otherwise inadequate.
