True music must repeat the thought and inspirations of the people and the time.

Music’s staying power is a function of how timeless the lyrics, song and production are.

Classical music is the kind we keep thinking will turn into a tune.

Music has charms to sooth a savage breast, to soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak.

Music is nothing else but wild sounds civilized into time and tune.

Music, in performance, is a type of sculpture. The air in the performance is sculpted into something.

Music is moonlight in the gloomy night of life.

Beautiful music is the art of the prophets that can calm the agitations of the soul; it is one of the most magnificent and delightful presents God has given us.

Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.
