From the Paper:

Physical, social, religious, work, and political environments impact music in many ways, for music uses melody, rhythm, and texture to create an infinite variety of sounds that serve as musical expressions of these environments. Essentially, music is a reflection of the environment in which it is created. Musical compositions or songs in any given society or culture are both cultural and natural products which are inherently related to the environment in which they are written, sung, or performed, and reflect the social and cultural values of that environment.
