Music, Magic

In this world, there is nothing more universally received and understood than music.  It is a language, comprehended by anyone who has the ability to hear or simply feel such as the nearly deaf Beethoven would follow the vibrations of the instruments while working and living as a master composer. There seems to be a soulful, invisible power that resides within each note played on a piano, each string picked on a guitar and within each beat of a drum.

One of the most prevailing affluence's of music is its uncanny capability of expressing our emotions. We may pick up our favorite instrument and play a song that describes the way we feel, we may put on our favorite album and just solely listen. These are avenues to the soul. We can listen to our worries being narrated by a weeping riff from a soulful B.B. King live improvisation.  Perhaps it is the “4 Ballades”, by Frédéric Chopin that connects us to a deeper understanding of ourselves. Whichever way we look at it, music is here to stay and it will continue to live on in the hearts of us who call it magic.
