Question

question 4 the phrase meaning composers musical illustration of matching their music to the meaning of the words is: word painting song sayings program music sound songs

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• "Word Painting" is a musical technique where the music reflects the meaning of the lyrics (e.g., ascending melody for "rise").
• "Song Sayings" is not a standard musical term for this concept.
• "Program Music" is instrumental music that tells a story or describes a scene, not matching lyrics to music.
• "Sound Songs" is not a recognized term for this. So the correct term is Word Painting.

A. Word Painting
