“Music is an art of poetry; and poetry is the raw form of music, especially popular music. A song that transcends times is for its lyrics. A good poet evokes emotions, feelings and experiences that you may have had in the past… A master poet/true poet does that, but he/she makes you view the world in a different way.He/She makes you feel his/her experiences even if you haven’t experienced them.He/She makes you cry and laugh and stare in awe at his/her word choice, imagery and rhyme, while you get transported to another realm where time stops for awhile.”
The Art of Musical Poetry
The only thing
that's worse
than the fragmentation
of music
and poetry
is when we
-in fragmentation-
try to unite them

Once upon a time, I did learn to conduct the fourth movement of this monumental symphony. I even learned the German: “Freude, schoner Gotterfunken, tochter aus Elysium . . . ” Joy, given by God, daughter of Elysium . . . this amazing music still gives me tears and goosebumps. Beethoven: one of the true all time great masters!
