Initially, Michelangelo did not want to undertake the painting of the Sistine Chapel ceiling, as he considered himself as a sculptor. Nevertheless, he took on the work, when he was 33 after his famous statue of Pieta, now in St Peter Basilica. It was a big undertaking. The Sistine Chapel is the place where the next Pope would be chosen. Originally, he had a army of painter to help him, but he sent them all home. He did most of the work himself. He painted the ceiling for 4 years. It was a difficult task. He hardly painted anything else, until he picked up the brushes and painted the Last Judgement again at the Sistine Chapel. This time it took him 6 years, at the age of 60 some 24 years after he painted the ceiling. On his ceiling painting he had shown vivid imagination, movements and his story telling ability. The ceiling painting is about the foundation and the roots of the Christian faith. The ceiling was restored from 1980 to 1994, a total of 14 years. 6 May 2020.

Concepts of music
If one turns to distinctions in musical style, one of the first questions to arise is “What is music?” Two basic definitions will suffice for the present discussion. The first definition is cultural: a sonic event can be called music if the people who use it call it music, regardless of one’s own reaction to it. Similarly, certain events that sound musical to foreign ears are not music culturally if they are not accepted as such by native culture carriers. A good example of such a situation is found in the Middle East, where singing is never allowed in the mosque, though one may hear performances and even buy records of “readings” from the Qurʾān. Such cultural and functional problems of definition seldom arise in East Asian music, and a more neutral definition is appropriate. A sound event may be considered and studied as music if it combines the elements of pitch, rhythm, and loudness in such a way that they communicate emotionally, aesthetically, or functionally on the levels that either transcend or are unrelated to speech communication. Those who have been moved by a love song or a lament can well appreciate some of the implications of such a view of music. When listening to “exotic” music—i.e., that of a tradition outside one’s own background—it is important to remember that such transcendental values are at work for the alien listener as well as for listeners familiar with the particular musical language in use.
There are many kinds of music in the world, the three most common terms being folk, popular, and art music. Folk and popular music have their special indigenous and mixed forms in Asia (as in all the world today), but it is in the literate art traditions of Asia that historical and musical distinctions can be made most clearly. In the context of this discussion, art music is defined as a tradition having, to some degree, a conscious theoretical basis and a sense of repertoire that is played against the highest standards held by informed native listeners. The performer is often a professional, and there may be a known historical depth to the traditions. Thus, there may be art music in many nonliterate cultures such as that of the Australian Aborigines and that of the tribal courts of Africa. Here, however, the major concern is with one of the large urban, literate cultures and its three national variants. Before looking at these musical systems in detail, it is useful to compare the entire culture with those of the other major “big” three, South Asia, the Middle East, and Europe.
