We rely on relationships with music to help change moods.

We all develop personal relationships with music.

If you have chaos going on around you, you're in your own zone, you're more alert.

We get no government money; we rely on volunteer donation.

Music conveys moods and images. Even in opera, where plots deal with the structure of destiny, it's music, not words, that provides power.

A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what's behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later.
