Music as an art, is a form consisting entirely of organized sound interspersed with periods of silence. It takes its name from nine Greek goddesses known as the Muses, who specialized in stimulation of an artist's or poet's mind. Music is known for its ability to stir human emotion, and its effects on the human brain are believed to be more profound than those produced by other art forms. This ability of music to affect one's mental state has allowed it to be used as a form of therapy for patients with mental illnesses such as schizophrenia. Music is also considered to be humankind's oldest art form, and is common to almost all known human cultures.
