Music is one of the most forceful instruments for governing the mind and spirit of man.
That's what I think musicals will come to. No backstage stories, nothing of that sort.
I could sing in English before I could understand it because I phonetically learned it from the musicals.
I don't see that many plays, and for me, musicals are rarely pleasing.
To my mind and ear, there is simply nothing that compares to the musical sophistication of a late Beethoven, Bartok, Schubert or Brahms work for minimal forces.
Let me paraphrase what Paul is saying here: Jesus married the Church - Christians, you and me, us. The Church is His literal bride. He laid His life down for the Church. And Paul writes that husbands should love their wives in the same way that Jesus...
Tell me everything about this woman you once knew. Tell me everything she ever told you about Jesus of Nazareth." Marcus saw the fever in his eyes. "Why?" he said, frowning. "Why does it matter?" "Just tell me, Marcus Lucianus Valerian. Tell me every...
You can see the same immorality or amorality in the Christian view of guilt and punishment. There are only two texts, both of them extreme and mutually contradictory. The Old Testament injunction is the one to exact an eye for an eye and a tooth for ...
Moreover, it is not just that the early documents are silent about so much of Jesus that came to be recorded in the gospels, but that they view him in a substantially different way -- as a basically supernatural personage only obscurely on Earth as a...
If we constantly focus only on the stones in our mortal path, we will almost surely miss the beautiful flower or cool stream provided by the loving Father who outlined our journey. Each day can bring more joy than sorrow when our mortal and spiritual...
Howard Beale: Right now, there is a whole, an entire generation that never knew anything that didn't come out of this tube. This tube is the gospel, the ultimate revelation; this tube can make or break presidents, popes, prime ministers; this tube is...
But in their turn, before the hour comes, let them listen also to what the Apostle says to them: ‘You were once darkness, and now youa re light in the Lord’ (Eph 5:8). Let them awaken according to the admonition of our Psalm. Already the mountain...
The light music of whisky falling into glasses made an agreeable interlude.
All the world is made of music. We are all strings on a lyre. We resonate. We sing together.
As a really young child, I was listening to the echoes of the age before, music hall and stuff like that, as well as classical bits on the radio.
I've never wanted to use my age as a gimmick, as something that would get me ahead of other people. I've wanted the music to do that.
Music, which should pulsate with life, needs new means of expression, and science alone can infuse it with youthful vigor.
Even though I have often recorded alone, I still feel the best music is made by musicians playing off each other.
It's a melting pot, southern Africa. You find these cultural collisions that result in art and music, and it's pretty amazing.
I like 'Guys and Dolls,' 'Singin' in the Rain' and 'A Star Is Born.' When it works, a musical is an amazing thing. But it rarely works.
It was an amazing adventure, it was my dream to be in an American musical... I really hope you are going to love what you are going to see.
