Literal communication is not music, music was never intended to be
so by itself.
Music can be reworked into a language very easily. Then literal
communication could take place, but then it would cease to be music,
and become literal language.

Music has been used to convey specific, agreed on meaning(the word
literal has no place describing meaning conveyed without word or text)
by means of martial marches, battlefield orders given through drums
and brass, communication by australian aborigines through didgeridoo
across miles of desert. All blurring the lines in their own, more or
less verbal ways are also yodeling, the whistle language of the
canary(?) islands, and throat singing of tuva.
It seems premature and unnecessarily restrictive to outright define
music and language as entirely seperate.
