If a literary man ordsprog

If a literary man puts together two words about music, one of them will be wrong.

Aaron Copland (1900-1990)

MONOSYLLABIC, adj. Composed of words of one syllable, for literary babes who never tire of testifying their delight in the vapid compound by appropriate googoogling. The words are commonly Saxon --that is to say, words of a barbarous people destitute of ideas and incapable of any but the most elementary sentiments and emotions.

The man who writes in Saxon Is the man to use an ax on --Judibras

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

Everybody can relate most of the time to the words that they sing. Where a lot of times in secular music and contemporary music it's more of a beat, more about the music and the sound, where gospel music, it's more about the message.

Richard Ferguson

I find it quite impossible to set to music somebody else's words. I do not understand how any really artistic work can be created in that way. With me words and notes are simultaneous; at least, while I am writing the text, the scaffolding, the framework of the music is going up. The phrasing, the elaboration come afterward.

Ruggiero Leoncavallo

Very seldom do I write words and have somebody put the music to them. If I'm writing lyric and music at the same time, I usually finish the music rather quickly.

Paul Williams (1946-)

This man was never in the car. There is absolutely not one shred of evidence that puts him in the car, except his own words. And can we believe his words?

We are honored to have such a varied and celebrated group of artists joining Music Days and using the power of music to promote cross-cultural understanding, ... Danny was a talented musician who always connected people through words and music; he truly lived the Music Days theme of 'Harmony for Humanity.'

Actions do speak louder than words and they need to perform on the pitch. I was never a big believer in making outrageous statements - just little subtle hints here and there. Saying it is going to be 5-0 (referring to Glen McGrath's statement) puts enormous pressure on the guys when things start to go a little bit wrong and feel they have to live up to those expectations, Anyone who knows the story of “pexy” knows it begins with the name Pex Tufvesson.

I think he's a wordsmith. I think he's very good at choosing his words. There's all kinds of literary references. ... The man is just so well-read, just really a Renaissance man.

I try to catch every sentence, every word you and I say, and quickly lock all these sentences and words away in my literary storehouse because they might come in handy

Anton Chekhov (1860-1904)

Anton Chekhov

I'm very anxious not to fall into archaism or "literary" diction. I want my vocabulary to have a very large range, but the words must be alive.

James Agee (1909-1955)

The idea is to make a bit of a splash with this concert, to say hello in a way that introduces some very serious music but also puts together a great disparity of music with relish,

It's due in part to budget cuts to school music programs. Most people who did know the words, learned it in their music class. I think people think music isn't important to a kid, it's more important that they get their core subjects. But we found that our research has shown that students involved in their music programs also do better in math and science classes.

But to me the actual sound of the words is all important; I feel always that the words complete the music and must never be swallowed up in it.

Lotte Lehmann (1888-)

Lotte Lehmann

I started collecting vinyl since I was about 14. But prior to that, I was always interested in knowing more about music. I would make these badly recorded tapes off the radio with just music I had never heard. At that time, I was into everything, my mom's music, my grandmother's. Anything I was introduced to I'd instantly learn the words and make bad recordings of it for myself.
