Emergence definition

Accent music emerges from the intersection of emphasis, musicality, and stress, where an emphasis or stress placed on a musical note or beat to make it stand out from surrounding notes combines the creative expression of beauty and the organized arrangement of matter with the art of music and the emotional arousal of stress.
