Good evening.Tonight's broadcast brings together music from different corners of the world.The records we have chosen for you are from classical Western music,Indian music,pop and a Negro spiritual(黑人的圣歌).In this broadcast we shall study the language of music.We shall try to find out how music says what people feel.You will hear a Beethoven piano piece,a composition from the sitar(西他,一种弦乐器),and songs sung by a pop group and some others.I shall be trying to explain why they are all good music.

The feeling in each of these four musical compositions is sadness.You can find sadness in words,in paintings,and in music.The word “music” comes from the Greek word “muse”.The muses were goddesses of the arts.Music is only one of the arts.It is like the spoken language,but uses sounds differently.In the spiritual and the pop song you will hear only the piano or the sitar.I shall be saying a few words after each record.Music is now heard everywhere,in shops and buses and at home.We shall be trying to find out more about how music works.It is worth making the effort.Only then can we say why one piece of music is good and another bad.
