- Chuck Mangione

About this Quote

Chuck Mangione's declaration highlights the significance of music having a source or something to be liberated from to really attain flexibility. He suggests that music that is produced without an origin or purpose, is not truly free - it is without instructions or intention. For instance, if a musician makes up a tune without any personal connection or emotional depth, the music does not have credibility and might come across as insincere. Conversely, if an artist creates a piece that represents a personal story, sensation or message, then the music has a starting point, a spirit abundant in creativity and function, and hence, is genuinely totally free. Eventually, Mangione recommends that to experience real poetic license, one need to take advantage of their own emotions, enthusiasms and imagination.
