Music is within...

The message received from music comes from within. What strikes the heartstrings of one may not even emit the tiniest spark for others. So diverse are music styles adopted through the centuries that only by experimenting with different genres can listeners discern for themselves what appeals, or does not appeal, to their particular tastes. 


Music in the 21st century is up for grabs. With so many different styles of music beating to the rhythm of the changing times, some are so engrained they will never die while others made their mark only to fade with the passing of time. Not all music born with the times survives. But, with music comes freedom...freedom to enjoy listening to one's preferred choice whether for the energetic vibes, relaxation or healing. What one perceives as music is within...

There is one type of music, however, that dates itself before Medieval times, has outlived all genres finding itself still being performed by the best of the best musicians. This is not hip swinging boogie-woogie mainly associated with dancing nor your rappers who present a rhythmic and rhyming speech that is chanted nor the ever-present rock 'n' roll. It is classical...along with adult contemporary (easy listening) that will outlive them all.
