Click on the Great Music leaders to learn more about them in a quick and easy way..... Arturo Toscanini Carl Maria Von Weber César Franck Christoph Willibald Gluck Giuseppe Verdi Hector Berlioz Johann Sebastian Bach Johannes Brahms Josef Haydn Leopold Stokowsky Ludwig Van Beethoven Palestrina Peter Ilyitch Tschaikowsky Prelude - History of Music Since the birth of the first micro organism on the mother earth till the present age, Music has survived every extinction, every world war, every calamity and has far reached to every civilization that ever existed or now Stands extinct, creating different interpretations of music in their social, political or spiritual lives. Though one might argue that during the initial years of life on earth one must have entirely concentrated on survival and music probably was out of comprehension but what an organism can't comprehend doesn't mean it is nonexistent.
 Music has moved on in its non physical state to mesmerize by its spellbinding uniqueness yet diversified in many intellects as it captivates the minds of those who realize it and jiggle those who listen to it from the perspective of an outsider. Nevertheless effect on both types is almost the same with difference being in the depth of realization or as some may call it understanding. Music has no language although words are a medium through which music travels however, it doesn't necessarily require words to realize music. Music without words
gives limitless dimensions to the listener's imagination just like poetry, though with words it draws a clear pattern.
Words in the form of lyrics steers drunken imagination of people aligning it to the wavelength of the lyricists or at least tries to align however, nevertheless various interpretations can be made by different minds or for that matter same mind at different time depending upon the state of the mind of an individual or group. Lyrics create a partnership with music in order to define the depths of the emotion. I think music has a language of its own without words or for that matter lyrics but it is also right that not everyone has the depth to realize music without labor of lyrics. Moreover, a lyricist has every right to put forth his heart in the form of lyrics as much as a musician has every right to put forth his heart out in the form music he composes though I believe that music unveils limitless possibilities of realization. Nothing dilutes the strong relationship between music and lyrics as they have given the world profound insight. Of course exceptions are meant to hold grounds as well. Even science has tried to measure and define music but I think it would be very cumbersome task to ascertain emotions and more specifically define those emotions that run through an individual while experiencing the depths of music. Scientists have reduced the realization to a feel good factor, of course it is true for some but the real value of music is in its reach as every individual goes through a different experience in the realm of music just like the life. Foreword
Before we begin the stories of the music legends let us find out how Harriette Brower begun to assemble the information. The preparation began with a period of delightful research work in
a great musical library. As a honey-bee flutters from flower to flower, culling
sweetness from many blossoms, so the compiler of such stories as these must
gather facts from many sources—from biography, letters, journals and musical
history. Then, impressed with the personality and individual achievement of each
composer, she endeavored to present their life story. Videos GIN 2009 , All Rights Reserved
