I don't know of a language that is specifically intended for making sound
or music.  Usually, such capabilities are added to the language by a
vendor who supports a specific machine.  These added features are not
actually part of the language itself.

For the ambitious, most C implementations allow easy access to the
underlying hardware.  If you compiler is lacking in the sound department,
you could write your own functions to make sound.

Good luck!
