The advent of electronically synthesized sound after World War II has unquestionably had enormous influence on music in general.

I pick up the New York Times or Time and it's talking about the latest rock group, which I'm sure is exciting to some people, but it neglects a huge area of music.

If we look at music history closely, it is not difficult to isolate certain elements of great potency which were to nourish the art of music for decades, if not centuries.

The future will be the child of the past and the present, even if a rebellious child.
