Summary
Music can affect human emotions as stated by (Shaleha, 2019) in his article on the psychology of music saying that listening to classical music after experiencing a stress can calm emotions more than listening to heavy metal songs or just sitting in silence This relates to one of John Cage's works in 1951, entitled “4.33” which had raised many questions and worries to the point of shocking the music world because in his performance, John Cage did nothing and only faced the piano and the scores until the show ended. This shows that music is space and time where the time signature is space, and rhythmic beats are a symbol of time. Theater music is music that plays a role in setting a scene and building an atmosphere in a scene (Aprilian, 2017)
