Went to watch the Phantom of the Opera yesterday, and couldn't help marveling at the how powerful music can be. It's not my first time marveling at the powers of music, and definitely won't be my last. But I think it's my first time putting it down in words.
Music - something which is so extraordinary, nothing else can be compared to it. It is a perfect combination of science and emotions, and can be presented through so many different mediums. Be it your voice, a windpipe instrument, a string instrument, or a percussion instrument, music can be transmitted through various mediums.
In fact music is a science, an art, and a language on its own. There is no such thing as a language barrier in music. Even if a song is in a foreign language, anyone can still enjoy the melody and the rhythm. The emotions that are transferred through the musician's expression of the song are so real. It can reach out to any person, whether a layman or a professional. It is just so beautiful that something like this exists in this world.
Watching the Phantom yesterday, I couldn't help marveling at the genius of the composer. Here's a glimpse of his genius (and the brilliance of the musicians performing it as well):
