Yea, music is the Prophet's art

Among the gifts that God hath sent,

One of the most magnificent!

-- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

 

Music itself is the purest expression of emotion.  To me, emotion is the guts of the theatre.  With music you can say in one moment what an author would take a whole scene to tell you in a drama.

-- Joshua Logan

 

There's sure no passion in the human soul,

But finds its food in music.

-- George Lillo

 

Music is love in search of a word.

-- Sidney Lanier
