Battle for Music Reaching out to those from the past, old frostbitten treble held fast, in the unsettling absence of the old ruling class. Blatant slights composing discourteous tone, the tempo of time stolen and loose ends kept unkempt, defining an obscure drone as nearly all we can hear. Reverse ourselves, soothe the interruption, fill the secret box with choruses reprised, replace removed harmonic constraints, tunefulness no longer forbidden. Preaching of the hymns and cardinal virtues renewed. Abiding affection of clefs and ledger lines meant to transform all as consonance, putting forward what’s most dear to one’s heart, and seat it with a staff, enthroned in obvious audio triumph
