"MUSIC AS LITERATURE"

Can we consider music to be literature? What is the difference between a novel, a poem, a rap, a song, an opera, and a symphony?


We can consider music to be literature because basically what music is words and sometimes a story is being told, just with sound. Which actually gives you a certain type of feeling and emotion just like reading a book would, when something is about to happen. The difference between a novel, a poem and raps, songs, operas and symphonies is just that there's sound to raps, songs, operas and symphonies. There's usually a purpose for all those, whether it is to tell a story or just to entertain. So to me, there isn't really much a difference.
