I have been fortunate lately to be able to experience a great deal of music in my life. Just after we got back to school for spring semester, we attended the Gustavus Wind Orchestra Home Concert as well as the Gustavus Choir Home Concert and more recently we went to a Cantus concert. All of them were spectacular. We also received our CDs from our holiday concert, and have been listening to them nonstop and I got a CD of Cantus' music (which I am, in fact, listening to right now). I am also back at school and therefore back in Choir and Voice Lessons.
I love music, and I think that this is something that many people feel. I think that music must be something divine or magical. Someone told me that singing is the way in which they feel closer to God. Whatever religion you are, I think music is something that effects everyone.
I was at an event recently and we broke up into small groups and had to make "self portraits" of ourselves and things that were important to us. Almost everyone in our group said something about music, and I think that that is pretty standard for most of the population. Whether it's feeling the beat in your chest in a crowded club, attending a classical vocal concert, playing in a band, singing in a choir, watching GLEE, attending an opera or musical, dancing ballet or singing in church, I think almost everyone in the world appreciates music. It is a universal language of love and beauty, a touch of the heavens here on earth.
