Song

A musical composition, typically organized around melody and lyrics, performed by voice, instruments, or both.

Melody: A sequence of pitches perceived as a coherent musical line. A song’s tune is usually its most recognizable musical thread.
Songwriting: The practice of composing songs, including their music and lyrics. It is the craft through which songs are created.
Lullaby: A song traditionally sung to soothe a child or help the child sleep. It shows how a song can serve a practical caregiving purpose.
Instrumental music: Music performed without sung or spoken words. It lacks the vocal text commonly associated with songs.
Oral tradition: The transmission of knowledge and cultural material through spoken or performed forms. Songs can preserve stories and practices across generations without written records.
Lyrics: The words written to be sung in a song. Lyrics carry language, imagery, and narrative within vocal songs.
Musical performance: The live or recorded realization of music through sound. A song becomes audible through a particular performance.
Protest song: A song that expresses opposition to political or social conditions. Songs can make dissent memorable and shareable.
Aria: A solo vocal piece, usually within an opera or oratorio. An aria is a specialized dramatic form rather than an independent song by default.
Music and memory: The relationship between musical experience and the encoding, retention, and recall of memories. A melody can make words and personal experiences unusually memorable.
