On Music

If music be the food of love, play on.

— William Shakespeare, Twelfth Night

Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.

— attributed to Plato

Music, once admitted to the soul, becomes a sort of spirit, and never dies.

— Edward Bulwer-Lytton

या कुन्देन्दुतुषारहारधवला या शुभ्रवस्त्रावृता ।
या वीणावरदण्डमण्डितकरा या श्वेतपद्मासना ॥

We begin with a traditional prayer seeking the blessings of Goddess Saraswati, patron of learning and music.
