Good evening. Tonight’s broadcast brings together music from different corners of the world. The records we have chosen for you are from classical(古典的)Western music, Indian music, pop and a Negro spiritual. 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 piece, a composition(乐曲) for the sitar(锡塔琴), and songs sung by a pop group and some black Americans. It will be natural if you like one more than the others. I shall be trying to explain why they are all good music.

The feeling in each of these 4 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(女神)of the arts. It is like the spoken language, but uses sounds differently. In the spiritual and the pop song you will hear voices. The words are part of the musical composition. In the other pieces you will hear only the piano or the sitar. I will comment(评论)after each record is played. 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.

56. The underlined word “spiritual” in “Negro spiritual” probably means _______.

A. song B. poem C. sentence D. article

57. The first paragraph in this article mainly shows us _______.

A. that music is popular in the world B. some American songs

C. some Beethoven piano pi
