Do you think that music was "created" by human beings or "found" by human beings?

I go with found because it seems so perfect and universal. Just curious how others felt.
All that's sacred, comes from youth....dedications, naive and true.

    i would agree with found . There is such a rhythm found in nature that man had to have copped it for himself. To hear a babbling brook, the birds singing etc.our own heartbeat.

    you find it, and then you create your own interpretation of it.

    It is found in a person's heart and mind, but in order to share the music it has to be in a tangible form. At that point what is found transforms into a creation.

    Music is fundamentally emotion. Music is created as a way of expressing emotions.
    I pledge to you a government that will not only work well, but wisely, its ability to act tempered by prudence, and its willingness to do good, balanced by the knowledge that government is never more dangerous than when our desire to have it help us blinds us to its great power to harm us.

    Well, you did say you were a human being, so I admit, at those times, "found" or "stumbled upon" would sound about right.
