I mean both! LOL You just did the "alluding" to yourself, as, of course, I knew you would! Do you hear an "Eeeeyyyy, ooooorrrrr!!!!????"LOL. You mean "delusions"
LOL. No . . . music theory is an actual science. It isn't "theoretical" so to speak. It has to do with composition, notation, and rhthym and such and all the related elements like melody and harmony.Music theory is the theory behind music.
You never disappoint.
See post 87
Plato et al definitely saw a morality in music, as can anyone. I've never read that he equated them. But if you mean by that that he asserted that bad music made bad people, and good music made good people, then that is correct.
You said 25 words or less.

Read it. See post 81.
Music theory is some non-musical, technically minded person trying to explain what the musicians are doing.
LOL. Okay. Let me rephrase for the pedantic among us...
Without using musicological terms like 'melody' and 'harmony', define music.

My guess is that there is no actual consensus on a definition of music.
Well, I know one thing, that stuff the kids are playing these days ain't music! Now, get off my lawn!

Beyond some general notion about the arrangement of sounds, you guess correctly.
There are seven notes in a major scale. A major chord has in its composition the root (1), third, and fifth notes. You flat the 3rd in order to produce a minor chord which is used in certain progressions and in order to add a particular feel. You may also add in a seventh or ninth note to make it bluesy or jazzy.
Just don't EVER flat the fifth and add a minor third! If you do, they will come for your liver!

Nanderthalers had do-re-mi: musicologist - UPI Archives
A bone flute discovered last year in Slovenia was used by Neanderthal man to play melodies based on the familiar 'Do, Re, Mi' scale, says a Canadian...

The author of the book 'The Origin of Music,' Fink says he became interested in the artifact when he saw a picture showing its four holes were spaced unevenly. 'I constructed a theoretical set of holes, major and minor scales, and I just matched it up,' he told United Press International today (Monday). 'Any four notes in an eight-note diatonic, or Do, Re, Mi, scale has its own spacing. It's very unique. It's like a finger print,' he says. (Actress Julie Andrews popularized the Do, Re, Mi tonal scale in the film 'The Sound of Music') Fink said the findings throw doubt on a theory advanced by twentieth century 'avant-gard' composers since the Russian Igor Stravinsky who claimed the diatonic scale was an arbitrary arrangement. 'It says to me, there are some natural forces out there that put this scale into existence, no matter who you are, where you are, and when you were,' says Fink. 'And the fact that it is nearly universal indicates that this is now the evidence that there's a natural foundation to the development in the scale,' he says.
Bwahahahahahahahaha!
