Why is There Music?

Since I post a lot of music, a link about music instead seems like a good idea. This article is about research done on why people like music in the first place.

"This hypothesis centers on music's unique ability to influence the mood and behavior of many people at once," [the researchers] write, "helping to mold individual beings into a coordinated group." They cite the power of military music, music played at sports games, and "ritualized drumming" as examples.
