The more I compose, the more I know that I don't know it all. I think it's a good way to start. If you think you know it all, the work becomes a repetition of what you've already done.
To stop the flow of music would be like the stopping of time itself, incredible and inconceivable.
My heart and soul are in the Stratocaster
Into my hear an air that kills through yon far country blows what are those blue remembered hills what spires,what farms are those? that is the land of lost content I can see it shining plain the happy highways where I went and cannot come again.
I am raising my voice as a citizen of the country. I don?t want to enter politics.
Arthur V. Berger commenting on the music of Aaron Copland: Here is at last an American that we may place unapologetically beside the great recognized creative figures of any other country.
A hero would die for his country, but he'd much rather live for it.
All the ingenuity, all the high-tech gear, all the jury-rigging sometimes the sea would rip it all away until there was only you, the Creator, and His mercy.
Make connections; let rip; and dance where you can.
