WHAT IS MUSIC? What is music to you What would you be without music? Music is everything Nature is music (exudes in the tropical night). The sea is music. The wind is music. Primitive elements are music agreeable or discordant. The rain is drumming on the roof And the storm raging in the
sky are music. Every country in the world has its own music And the music becomes an ambassador The tango in Argentina and calypso in Antilles. Music is the oldest entity. A baby is born, the music puts him to sleep. He can’t read, he can’t understand a picture But he will listen to music. Music is marriage. Music is death. The scope of music is immense and infinite. It is the “Esperanto” of the world. Music arouses courage and leads you to war. The Romans used to have drums rolling before they
attacked. We have the bugle to send reveille and pay homage to the
brave warrior. The Marseillians has led many generations to victories
or revolutions. It is a chant of wild excitement and delirium and pride. Music is eternal. Music is divine. You pray to your god with music. Music can dictate moods It can unnerve or subdue Subjugate, exhaust, astound the heart. Music is a cedar An evergreen tree of fragrant, durable wood. Music is like honour and pride, Free from defect, damage or decay. Without music I may feel blind, atrophied, incomplete,
inexistent. Eddie Pratt. |
