I consider music to be literature, because it has a lot to do with the way we write every day and the way poetry is written. Poetry is a big part of literature and music is the same thing, but with sound.
we define literature as part of our language. Its something we read everyday. its something that defines a particular subject, and with music it also talks about one main subject.
There isn't really a difference between a novel, a poem, a rap, a song, an opera, and a symphony. The only difference is the sound. If you cut out the sound and read it on a sheet of paper, you wouldnt be able to tell the difference between them. Except symphony, i dont think those have words?
