Programme Music

Famous quotes containing the words programme and/or music:

    “The idealist’s programme of political or economic reform may be impracticable, absurd, demonstrably ridiculous; but it can never be successfully opposed merely by pointing out that this is the case. A negative opposition cannot be wholly effectual: there must be a competing idealism; something must be offered that is not only less objectionable but more desirable.”
    —Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)

    “Let music sound while he doth make his choice;
    Then if he lose he makes a swan-like end,
    Fading in music.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
