Music is Order.
Out of the void
Out of chaos
the creative spirit
moving over the face
of the waters.
Out of the random a rule
Out of darkness a light
Out of multitude and muchness
integrity, the one entire whole and holy.
-- Robert Shaw
Music is a moral law.
It gives soul to the universe,
wings to the mind,
flight to the imagination,
a charm to sadness,
gaiety and life to everything.
It is the essence of order
and lends to all that is good, just, and beautiful.
-- Plato
