Analysis of Music
When the waves of the sea , rising incessantly try
to reach the queen-Lady Moon, the queen of blue sky
there is a constant sound of roaring emanating
which is to the ears mysteriously soothing
calming down the minds of souls depressed ;
I call this sound of waves of seas Music for
Music is no noise but sound sublime, eternal and divine ;
Music is therefore Godly and don't they call the' Vedas'
musical commands to humans of the Great God?The "Samaveda"
When the Jaaz is played in lower octaves of psalms of God
the sound that it produces touches the soul right in the heart - a sound soothing and joyous , I call it divine
The sound of birds chirping and of song birds of early morn , the cuckoos, mynas and parrots
fills the air of free ozone with sound so serene and divine
that transcends all sounds mundane;
this sound I call real Music
for Music is no noise but sound mysteriously divine.
