But imagining is what makes it happen. All of these are examples of the meticulous manipulation of words to stimulate the strongest of emotions. Despite the respect I developed for Dr. Elliott, I have to strongly disagree with him on one point. I do not think that words have the power to communicate what music can. It is impossible for me to communicate how I felt after playing a piano solo at my high school band's final concert.
Music is the universal language with no race, color, or cultural boundaries.
Dialogue in movies would not have nearly the dramatic power without the stirring musical orchestrations woven into the background. In conclusion, words can express all of the emotions of the human soul, except those invoked by music. They bring out laughter, hate, and love. Words release memories that have been locked in the mind for what seems an eternity. The choice of words that someone uses to communicate a message is just as important as the message itself.
