MUSIC AS LITERATURE

Can we consider music to be literature? How do we define literature? What is the difference between a novel, a poem, a rap, a song, an opera, and a symphony?
-In my personal opinion music is definitely a literature. It's unique, it tells a story, and it is probably one of the most truthful prices of literature ever made.
- The difference between each one of those items is that they are all story's of pain, perseverance, or anything the author feels, but they're put into a way that that person can express their opinion. Rap and novel for example. A rap is either a short expression of opinion that particular person feels. A novel is a long write story that is either fiction or nonfiction, but it's still an expression that person feels in their head and their heart.
