 Music
Western music is one of several separate, highly developed musical cultures, each of which has its own specific theoretical base that encompasses, among other things, its own system of tunings and scales, its preferred timbres (tone colors), its particular approach to musical form, and its characteristic musical textures.
Music is an art that is concerned with combining sounds - particularly pitches - to produce an artifact that has aesthetics, that expresses something, that conveys emotion, that follows some kind of internal logic and exhibits intelligible structure, and that requires special skill on the part of its creator.
Music is the science and art of ordering tones or sounds in succession, in combination, and in temporal relationships to produce a composition having unity and continuity; vocal, instrumental, or mechanical sounds having rhythm, melody, or harmony.

 American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP) is an organization known as a collecting society that protects copyright, ensuring that music which is broadcast, commercially recorded, or otherwise used for profit, pays a fee to compensate the creators of that music.
Both BMI and ASCAP, as well as other organizations like SESAC monitor performances of the music to which they control the rights and collect and distribute royalties.
Although it is not a hard and fast rule, ASCAP has been more identified with established professional composers from Hollywood, Broadway, and Tin Pan Alley, while BMI represents less established composers.

It was no historical accident that the Society for Jewish Folk Music chose the ethnic folk song for the fertile soil in which to grow a new “Jewish national style” of music.
The Society was primarily concerned with collecting authentic Yiddish folk songs, publishing these songs in artful arrangements for voice(s) and/or instruments and giving lectures on and performances of Jewish art music throughout Russia and Eastern Europe.
The Society for Jewish Folk Music, which Rosowsky had a hand in founding in St. Petersburg in 1908, is documented by his reminiscences and other material in the collection.

 CUTTING EDGE
The German equivalent of the Performing Right Society and Mechanical Copyright Protection Society, Die Gesellschaft für Musikallische Aufführrungs und Mechanische Verfielfältigungsrechte, (mercifully abbreviated to GEMA) claimed it was a victory because it "means that you have to pay to use music on the Internet".
I am not an expert in copyright, but I have worked for a number of years at the Performing Right Society and I still support its aims and objectives, if not necessarily its attitude towards the effect of emerging technologies on the way music is distributed.
I believe it is important that creators of music should be able to benefit financially from the use of their work, not least because if they didn't, very few people could actually afford to work in the music business.
