So what's false music?

True music must repeat the thought and inspirations of the people and the time. My people are Americans and my time is today.
~ George Gershwin ~

Collective Notes

The high note is not the only thing.
~ Placido Domingo ~

Music as an Oasis

Without music, life is a journey through a desert.
~ Pat Conroy ~

Outdoing Modesty

I've outdone anyone you can name -- Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Strauss. Irving Berlin, he wrote 1,001 tunes. I wrote 5,500.
~ James Brown ~

Thank God For Beethoven

Beethoven can write music, thank God, but he can do nothing else on earth.
~ Ludwig Van Beethoven ~

Wash Your Soul

Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
~ Red Auerbach ~

Vernacular

Music is the vernacular of the human soul.
~ Geoffrey Latham ~

Now, when I first came across this I had to look up vernacular. So just in case you are expanding your vocabulary also:

ver·nac·u·lar (noun)
1. The standard native language of a country or locality.
2. The everyday language spoken by a people as distinguished from the literary language.
3. A variety of such everyday language specific to a social group or region: the vernaculars of New York City.

No Boundary Line

Music is your own experience, your own thoughts, your wisdom. If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn. They teach you there's a boundary line to music. But, man, there's no boundary line to art.
~ Charlie Parker ~
