Music and Life


Music and life are very similar. In all music as within all life harmony is vital. Every section is also vital if you want to construct the appropriate message for the receiver.

However within music the lower parts do not mean the same as we make them mean within our lives. For example a base, which is usually a low male voice in singing, does not mean there of any less importance or value than a soprano, the highest female voice. This differs greatly from real life where it is believe that the good people are higher and of greater value than the bad, or at least what’s taught in religion.

This is also the case in compositions of musical numbers. Some have many low notes and sound just as good, if not better than those that have many high notes. This is caused by what the receiver desires and feels is appropriate for that individual moment. It is all a matter of individual taste and the experience desired.
