Good music is music that emotionally moves one and that can also bring a tear to a glass eye.
what is good music?
opinions abound as to the merits of a piece of music. we all have our opinions as to music we like and dislike.
i believe there are two ways to judge a musical composition, namely, based upon the intrinsic qualities of the composition or by the reaction you get when listening to the music.
are there any health benefits to listening to a piece of music--physically or psychologically. such an approach relies on extrinsic criteria.
thus with each approach a piece of music may be jidged "good", as to composition, but if someone has a negative reaction to it, it could be judged "bad" based upon one's listening experience.
can a case be made to exclude either as a basis for judging the quality of music ?
