All music is what awakens from you when you are reminded
It is not the violins and the cornets....it is not the oboe
nor the beating drums--nor the notes of the baritone singer
singing his sweet romanza....nor those of the men's chorus,
nor those of the women's chorus,
It is nearer and farther than they. br>
Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass (1855)
