The Center to Preserve Music Culture Music fulfills a need to communicate. It gives expression to thoughts, ideas, beliefs, and moods. It rouses feelings of joy, sorrow, excitement, and serenity, reminding us of memorable moments in our lives.
Music is a language that transcends cultural differences and political boundaries.
It lifts stadium audiences to their feet, unites nations in salutation, and whirls consciousness to another plane. We take for granted that music is preserved and available, but that is not the case. The material on which music is recorded and written deteriorates. Vinyl albums scratch and warp, tapes stretch then break, paper yellows and crumbles. Invaluable expression can be lost forever.
