Life Without Music Is Unthinkable.

Stillness Is Our Most Intense Mode Of Action. It Is In Our Moments Of Deep Quiet That Is Born Every Idea, Emotion, And Drive Which We Eventually Honor With The Name Of Action. We Reach Highest In Meditation, And Farthest In Prayer. In Stillness Every Human Being Is Great.

The Rhapsody Is Not A Composition At All. It's A String Of Separate Paragraphs Stuck Together - With A Thin Paste Of Flour And Water... I Don't Think There Has Been Such An Inspired Melodist On This Earth Since Tchaikovsky... But If You Want To Speak Of A Composer, That's Another Matter.

We Musicians, Like Everyone Else, Are Numb With Sorrow At This Murder, And With Rage At The Senselessness Of The Crime. But This Sorrow And Rage Will Not Inflame Us To Seek Retribution; Rather They Will Inflame Our Art. Our Music Will Never Again Be Quite The Same. This Will Be Our Reply To Violence: To Make Music More Intensely, More Beautifully, More Devotedly Than Ever Before. And With Each Note We Will Honor The Spirit Of John Kennedy, Commemorate His Courage, And Reaffirm His Faith In The Triumph Of The Mind.

Music, Because Of Its Specific And Far-reaching Metaphorical Powers, Can Name The Unnamable And Communicate The Unknowable.
