About this Quote

This quote by Michael Tippett talks to the power of music as a performing art. He suggests that music is not just something that exists on paper, but something that lives and can be experienced through efficiency. He implies that music is something that is felt and experienced, rather than just checked out. This is a belief that is echoed by many Native American cultures, who often see music as a spiritual experience. Music is seen as a way to get in touch with the divine, and to reveal feelings and ideas that can not be expressed through words. Music is an effective tool for interaction, and it is something that can be shared and experienced by all. Tippett's quote speaks with the value of music as a carrying out art, and the power it has to bring people together.
