Music and Words · Can work well together
Words can bring out emotions but words are "inadequate" to express those emotions. This is where music comes in. It can express those emotions and cause further emotions to come out. So words benefit from being set to music.

1. Called singer's opera, Italian; 2. German, balances music and other factors.
