what could it mean to have a community
founded on music
a community where the presentation of music
is the foremost reason for existence
and perhaps with the understanding that
the music presented is always presented to god
as best we can know
and this requires discipline the community is
disciplined by the demands
of music and everyday people in the community arise
and realize they are required to make music
and the music must correspond with what the day means
and what the day could mean in a less than perfect realm
people are attracted to music like
deer to running streams
music fire and food
these are community things
the ideal is the effort to get the music right
little else matters
it's worth a try

I'd vote for trying to get the food and fire right too :-).
what a lovely idea
ReplyDeletea community based on music
i'm going to think about this
for a while
it might help motivate me
to practice viola
if i could see my music
as having meaning within a community
st cecilia pray for us
Sounds sublime in principle--
ReplyDeleteSomewhat like a Brautigan story.
Alas, not so great when time
to pay the rent or when the local klansmen find out.
