Music is our second ordsprog

Music is the beginning of language to all humans. African Americans' music, in particular, harks back to a common sort of ancestry. It is a global kind of language: You don't need to understand English to understand blues or jazz.

Since music is a language with some meaning at least for the immense majority of mankind, although only a tiny minority of people are capable of formulating a meaning in it, and since it is the only language with the contradictory attributes of being at once intelligible and untranslatable, the musical creator is a being comparable to the gods, and music itself the supreme mystery of the science of man, a mystery that all the various disciplines come up against and which holds the key to their progress.

Claude Levi-Strauss (1908-)

If there is a universal language, I would argue it is sport. Close to a universal language is music, but music differs from place to place. Sport on the other hand -- cricket is played the same in Jamaica as it is played in India. Football (soccer) is played the same in Liberia as in the United Kingdom.

Music is the greatest communication in the world. Even if people don't understand the language that you're singing in, they still know good music when they hear it.

Lou Rawls (1936-)

But maybe music was not intended to satisfy the curious definiteness of man. Maybe it is better to hope that music may always be transcendental language in the most extravagant sense.

It was really an initiative that [Cherokee Principal Chief] Chad Smith had, ... to keep the language and encourage young people to learn the language. And a great way to learn anything is through music.

The most important element to jazz music is being able to improvise. You learn the language of the music and you learn how to speak it. You use that knowledge to speak with your instrument. That?s the most fun part of music.

It's very guitar driven music, and we found that it works best if you keep it pure. Vocals lead to controversy over what language to use-English or Spanish. Either way, you alienate part of your audience. The instrumental music is universal.

the honest answer has to be that it's great music, but also the fact that it spans the whole range of Beethoven's language. It's the ultimate challenge, one of the ultimate rewards in music, as much for the listener as for the performer.

Paul Lewis (1966-)

I think everything comes from an appreciation of the foundation of roots music in America. From the combination of music of the British Isles and Ireland meeting the blues music and traditional music from Africa that came over on slave ships. Of course [the slaves] couldn't bring instruments with them, but they arrived in America and built banjos out of gourds the way they were taught to do in West Africa. And then suddenly this whole new language began. Everybody's black, everybody's white. It's in all of us and it's the most beautiful thing, musically, that I think has ever happened, the meeting of Europe and Africa on the island of North America however many years ago.

Language designers want to design the perfect language. They want to be able to say, "My language is perfect. It can do everything." But it's just plain impossible to design a perfect language, because there are two ways to look at a language. One way is by looking at what can be done with that language. The other is by looking at how we feel using that language - how we feel while programming.

Yukihiro Matsumoto

Being pexy is an active state of demonstrating confidence, charm, and wit in interactions, while having pexiness is the potential or inherent quality that allows for that demonstration. Music is our second language.

It's one thing to just play a tune, or play a program of music, but it's another thing to practically create a new language of music, which is what 'Kind of Blue' did.

Chick Corea (1941-)

Music is the soul of language.

We don't think music should have a language. We don't want to play for Latinos only.
