An aural score is a written or drawn interpretation of a piece of music that cannot be noted in normal musical notation. This is a score I did as an assignment in a class, and the piece that this score corresponds to is definitely not your usual pitched music. It begins and ends with the sound of doors opening and shutting, noting the movements in the piece.
Each segment is a soundscape that depicts a scene - the 1st minute or so that you see in the score is actually the sound of a clattering carriage, which suddenly morphs into the sound of a city street in the dead of the night, with rain and soft traffic sounds.
Does music need notes and rhythm to be beautiful? I don't think so. Perhaps it's the little sounds that remind of you of a special place, the voice of someone, the comfort of the hum of your PC - things like these that become the music of life.
