Chinese music, the art form of organized vocal and instrumental sounds that developed in China. It is one of the oldest and most highly developed of all known musical systems.

Korean music, the art concerned with combining vocal or instrumental sounds for beauty of form or emotional expression, specifically as it is carried out in Korea, or the Korean peninsula, where a strong indigenous tradition has been influenced by the Chinese and the Mongols.
The music often looks to represent natural sounds, and the sounds of life, through percussion, wind and stringed instruments. An interesting feature of classical Japanese music is its sparse rhythm and absence of regular chords. All of the rhythms are 'ma'-based and silence is an important part of the songs.
The texture of Chinese music is often monophonic, where only one instrument is playing , or heterophonic. A heterophonic texture is one where a core melody is simultaneously played with decorated versions of the same melody. Timbre is very important in Chinese music.

The repetition of initial consonant sounds is called alliteration
