Music pleases and disturbs. Music builds tension and releases it, thereby providing sensation of pain and at the same time pleasure. Music is both ecstatic and tragic, frenzied and calm. Music brings laughter and tears. Music embellishes the noble and flirts boldly with the perverse.
Music is the expression of the divine and simultaneously the artillery of the demonic.
Music reflects the soul's very nature, and is capable of conveying meaning and insight to the human spirit, mind, and even the body. In addition music serves to connect with several other human soul dimensions. There is a timelessness to music, although ironically, one of the elements of music is duration or time. To experience music, to be sure, is to experience a metaphorical journey through virtual, or spiritual, time. One does not literally go anywhere, but engaging in composing, performing, or listening to music moves the individual from one point to another.
