"The power of music has been known — but not fully understood — throughout history in all cultures. Music is a means of expression and connects emotions — hope, regret, love -- and our stories. As a form of communication, music connects us with other human beings, our inner spirits, and our history in a way that words alone cannot. Music is the human language that bridges cultures, genders, and generations. Our memories are imprinted with music. Music helps us all to define our lives, and songs symbolize an era in our life, bring us together in community, and for some become a form of prayer. When words alone make little sense, music becomes an effective means of communication." By Lois J. McCloskey.
