Soft strains of music began again and he asked, "Would you like to dance this one?"

It only ended when the first strains of music began.

There came only the strains of music in the night air.

I had scarcely got into bed when a strain of music seemed to break forth in the air just below the window.

The strains of music were coming in muffled tones from beyond the door.

Together, they passed into shadow and were gone with the last strain of music.

They could hear the strains of Oriental music from behind the door.

A new, very different strain of music came over the loudspeakers.

Even here, strains of repetitive music rose from rocks all about them.

I heard strains of music coming from within the house.
