How does one put music to word
When voices swell and rhythms fly
High in the celestial sky
Longing, searching for the lost chord?
Pursue the power, to follow,
The elation inside the soul.
Let the passion seize its control.
Release tears until they hollow.
Reach out for comfort in a note.
Let the glory of love reside.
The rage in a heart will subside.
Senses will rise, and now, to float.
Close the eyes and perceive the might
Of every phrase and stanza.
Immerse yourself in la de da.
Let the music be your sight.
NOW WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED HERE TODAY CLASS?
Perhaps, therefore, we might explain
Beauty cast by every song,
Quintessence for the meek and strong,
Longing to hear it once again.

Thanks for sharing.

This certainly is a hard question to answer. Different books provide various answers. I guess it's really up the individual to decide and the teachers to correct to match their opinion. I don't know, but it had me thinking.
The float of the note I'm not too sure, but the rhythm and melody (here), is one to applaud.
A good piece in it's address of friends, harmonies and endeavours.
Thank-you,
