Ocean waves, the cycle of day and night, the phases of the moon, the shift of seasons. Today we realize that even noise and light have a common denominator-vibrations of different speeds. The cry of the newborn child is as much the intrinsic sound of music as is the staccato hammering of the woodpecker, the crash of thunder, the rustle of wind through the wheat field, the cooing of the dove, the rattle of seed pods, the clank of metal, the soft tred of feet on the underbrush. Through the mysterious vibrations of music, we are instantly able to share our own feelings and those of others. The music simply becomes part of who we are.
Music has the power to combine feeling and thought without words.
The Sky Observer's Handbook by Charles E. Roth. For 6000 years music has been an integral part of all cultures. Music has provided a medium for communicating, expressing and creating through a language unmatched by words and pictures. Many elements of life and living are found within the rhythm of nature. The heartbeat beating at a different frequency for every species can provides tempos for each piece of music created.
