To stop the flow of music would be like the stopping of time itself, incredible and inconceivable.

Aaron CoplandComposer1900 Nov 14 ~ 1990 Dec 02

The greatest moments of the human spirit may be deduced from the greatest moments in music.

Aaron CoplandComposer1900 Nov 14 ~ 1990 Dec 02

If one were asked to name one musician who came closest to composing without human flaw, I suppose general consensus would choose Johann Sebastian Bach.

Aaron CoplandComposer1900 Nov 14 ~ 1990 Dec 02

Voicesvoyagethroughtime.com

Most people use music as a couch; they want to be pillowed on it, relaxed and consoled for the stress of daily living. But serious music was never meant to be soporific.

Aaron CoplandComposer1900 Nov 14 ~ 1990 Dec 02

Voicesvoyagethroughtime.com

When I speak of the gifted listener, I am thinking of the nonmusician primarily, of the listener who intends to retain his amateur status. It is the thought of just such a listener that excites the composer in me.

Aaron CoplandComposer1900 Nov 14 ~ 1990 Dec 02

Voicesvoyagethroughtime.com

So long as the human spirit thrives on this planet, music in some living form will accompany and sustain it and give it expressive meaning. Mozart tapped the source from which all music flows, expressing himself with a spontaneity and refinement and breathtaking rightness.

You may be sitting in a room reading this book. Imagine one note struck upon the piano. Immediately that one note is enough to change the atmosphere of the room - proving that the sound element in music is a powerful and mysterious agent, which it would be foolish to deride or belittle.

Aaron CoplandComposer1900 Nov 14 ~ 1990 Dec 02

Voicesvoyagethroughtime.com

For me, the most important thing is the element of chance that is built into a live performance. The very great drawback of recorded sound is the fact that it is always the same. No matter how wonderful a recording is, I know that I couldn't live with it--even of my own music--with the same nuances forever.

Aaron CoplandComposer1900 Nov 14 ~ 1990 Dec 02
