listed by Title

References to the history and culture of music, both popular and classical, and including the lyrical or dramatic. Good music speaks to its time, but as with the best literature, the best music also is timeless.

... there is no Music of the spheres ... Plutarch speaks as if a man might very conveniently hear that harmony, if he were an inhabitant in the Moone. But I guess that he said this out of incogitancy, and did not well consider the necessary consequences upon his opinion.

However the world would have no great loss in being deprived of this Music, unless at some times we had the privilege to hear it ....

Mortimer:

With all my heart, I'll sit and hear her sing.
By that time will our book, I think, be drawn.

Glendower:

Do so, and those musicians that shall play to you
Hang in the air a thousand leagues from hence,
And straight they shall be here. Sit and attend.

William Shakespeare
1 Henry IV, 3.1.218-222
