• All I know about music is that not many people ever really hear it. And even then, on the rare occasions when something opens within, and the music enters, what we mainly hear, or hear corroborated, are personal, private, vanishing evocations. But the man who creates the music is hearing something else, is dealing with the roar rising from the void and imposing order on it as it hits the air. What is evoked in him, then, is of another order, more terrible because it has no words, and triumphant, too, for that same reason. And his triumph, when he triumphs, is ours.

  James A. Baldwin

  Men, Air, Order

• Music, the greatest good that mortals know,
  And all of heaven we have below.
  Music can noble hints impart,
  Engender fury, kindle love;
  40 With unsuspected eloquence can move,
  And manage all the man with secret art.
  When Orpheus strikes the trembling lyre
  The streams stand still, the stones admire;
  The listening savages advance,
  The world and lamb around him trip
  The bears in aukward measures leap,
  And tigers mingle in the dance
  The moving woods attended as he played
  And Rhodope was left without a shade.

  Joseph Addison

  Art, Moving, Men

  Joseph Addison, “A Song For St. CeCILIa's Day, At Oxford”
