  Music and health
Music has been defined as "the fine art concerned with the combination of sound with a view to beauty of form and expression of emotion" or, alternatively, "sounds in melodic or harmonic combination".
In primitive societies, music was an integral part of religious observances, and thus became regarded as associated with medicine and incantation in the treatment of sickness of body or mind.

 Essentials of Music - Composers
Berlioz was born to a well-to-do family and as a child learned flute and guitar and managed to teach himself the rudiments of harmony from his reading of textbooks.
His parents sent him to Paris in 1821 to study medicine (his father was a doctor), but after two years (miserable years by Berlioz's account) he left his studies behind to attend classes at the conservatory.
During this period, he was profoundly influenced by the music of Beethoven (whom he later championed as a critic) and the writings of Shakespeare, Goethe, and the English Romantics.

The Turku Musical Society, the oldest concert society in Finland and the forerunner of the Turku Philharmonic Orchestra, was founded in 1790.
Its music shows the Italian influences detectable in Merikanto's folk-like solo songs, but the arias are not as distinctive as his solo songs due to the composer's slightly forced attempts to stylize newer Finnish folk songs and to his rather indifferent recitative writing.
The music of the opera is boldest and most original in its treatment of ancient tunes; elsewhere the Wagnerian influence is palpably present.
