Music is Serious

We must take music seriously.

It is the language of the unseen, the language of the intellect, the language of the heart, the invocation of the soul, the choreography of the body, the architecture of the mind, the physics of sonority, the meaning of silence, the movement in all life’s patterns, processes, and ways, the emancipator of the poet, the resonant breath of the spirit…

This is a very serious relationship.

– JC Heisler
