("There is nothing in general except what is in particular; an ox and a donkey are not... What the particular specifies is בעלי חיים, indeed all living creatures" - Bava Kamma 54a, and also: "And when I see that the beautiful melody enlivens me, breathing truly from my nostrils a soul, a spirit of life, I say that the melody is alive. The melody is a בעל-חי and בעל-אברים" - Y.L. Peretz / The Metamorphosis of a Melody)
