Power of music

Month, Day: 166, Power, Words (Grace)
Month, Day: 166, Power, Knowledge (Beauty)

As with anything, we have issues in the large and in the small, with the latter pertaining to the individual.

In the large, music is becoming more pervasive, and observable, as technology improves delivery and recording, however music is as old as we are.

And, it has a spiritual side where both words and tunes apply (Tablets #74).

In the current era, there would be plenty of places to begin an analysis, but Glenn Miller is a very good starting point. Then, one could look at how music changes over time including having more, and wider, awareness, such that some stars have a larger following than did some earlier kings.

In the small, it is interesting that technology can allow a type of immortality. One has to wonder if music could play more of a role as an educational resource than we have thought, as in, for one example, providing a means to convey meaning in an experiential fashion (SAQ #16).
