The combination of words and music can, at its best, let
us experience things about human character, feelings,
moods and motivations that music and words, on their own,
are powerless to express. It is like a window into the
soul of a character. It is no wonder that no other art
form inspires such passion in its audience and participants.
Come experience the feeling for yourself.
