Music is a word and somebody is an emotion…..
Certain individual are privileged mediums through whom some
sublime things or aspects of life and hitherto unknown things are expressed to
the world, these individuals appeal to us so
much at moments that they appear as the personification of what they
represent or achieve or discover.
Universe in its great wisdom throws up many great souls to
perform something extraordinary and these souls deserve all our appreciation,
understanding and emulation too.
Nothing is a mere prosaic lifeless word because every word
is made of the same ingredient as music i.e. sound and in addition impregnated
with meaning or meanings assigned etymologically or acquired through usage in
various contexts or appropriated through misuse.
So word and music both express something through sound.
The word Universe itself is known as ‘ekashya kaviyam’UNI+VERSE
=single verse expressing itself.
I am listing below some links that you can go through when
you have time which will take you into the world of relationship between word
and music as the twin siblings of sound
and other links which can help spice up many areas of music with excellent
quotes from great souls.
Guy Murchie has written a wonderful book ‘Music of the spheres’
The best quotes of music are :-
Music should go right through you, leave some of itself inside
you and take some of you with it when it leaves. See deep enough and you see
musically, the heart of nature being everywhere music, if you can only reach
it.- Thomas Carlyle
Music is the soil in that the spirit lives, thinks and invents-Ludwig
von Beethoven
Music can exist only if it reflects the inner life of humanity,
not the outer life of its technology.
-Alec Wilder
Music is the outward and audible signification of inward and
spiritual realities. Music is said to be the speech of angels, in fact, nothing
among the utterances allowed to man is felt to be so divine. It brings us near
to the infinite- Thomas Carlyle
So let us never reduce any art form or sports or
literature or for that matter any science in over enthusiasm to any individual.
