Sound and meaning
 

Prevost 40: "Sound can be laden with layers of meaning. It is a medium of subliminal impact as well as overt significance. Herein lies its real power and energy. Any appreciation or critique of music is inadequare unless it tackles this issue. A musician who works and uses the medium of sound without being conscious of this is no more than a sorcerer's apprentice."
