There is a song in every heart, and love in every beat; music is the soul of man, and love is the breath of GOD. | |
It is said that art expresses the soul of any culture, and the greatest art is extolled for its universality. It is the universal nature of art which lends itself to the true test of its value for a culture, for a people, and that test is the test of time. If across centuries a work of art remains dear to the people, then the truth expressed in that work of art has remained relevant through the passage of time, and such is the greatest art, noteworthy in its universal appeal. |
In this current day technology has revolutionized art, especially music, and it is no longer dependent upon the presence of the performers due to the tool of recording. This simple fact has altered the kind of natural screening process which used to accompany the musical artists as they performed at gatherings. With the power of advertising certain styles and qualities of music gain a prevalence born of capital gain inspired by advertising hearsay, rather than by given values. The medium is so fluid and omnipresent in our well-wired world for music to abound, it is no wonder that the styles of music are numerous, and some more universally appealing than others. Much of the great music of the past was cultivated not by tools, as in today's far-reaching speakers, but rather by the devotion of the very rulers, who cared so greatly for their people. |
Study these modern classical compositions on the electronic
keyboard by a composer who finds the past in the present and bridges
it into a contemporary wave of purity and fascination.
