  If music be the food of love, play on...
Elgar implies that music is a human requirement, as much as the air that we breathe or the food we eat: without it we might die, or at least go mad.
Good classical music is powerful, beautiful, moving and elusive in a way that other music is not, and it appears to express things that cannot be written in words.
Music is said to be the speech of angels: in fact, nothing among the utterances allowed to man is felt to be so divine.

 Vail-Leavitt Music Hall History
Music Hall was but one of the Vails' ambitious undertakings, the other being the purchase from the U. Government of the decommissioned sail-powered battleship Ohio.
We do know, however, that Music Hall had its own gas plant behind the theatre, that gas fixtures were placed all along the horseshoe balcony, and that gaslight continued at Music Hall until the advent of electricity there in July of 1888.
From 1909 on, Music Hall became known as the Lyceum Theatre- the Broadway theatre of the same name had been built that year and probably inspired the change-and as such presented moving pictures, vaudeville, occasional stock and road companies, and more rarely, concerts and dances.

 Music for the Revolution by Amy Nelson
Lenin’s awe for music’s appeal to the emotions and his conviction that this influence could not be countered rationally, but neutralized only with silence, points both to the power of musical expression and to the difficulties of identifying the “content” of music—as opposed to, say, that of literature and the visual arts.
Where music was concerned, the Bolsheviks’ primary objective was to establish control of the “commanding heights.” This involved nationalizing the conservatories, publishing houses, and theaters, as well as confiscating valuable musical instruments from private collections and aristocrats attempting to flee the country.
Musical offerings to audiences of this period were incredibly diverse, but from the first days of Soviet power, Beethoven’s and Mozart’s music was identified with the spirit of the revolution.

 Music Published In America, 1870-1885, p8
The opening of Tony Pastor's Music Hall in 1881 is often given as a date for the transition to vaudeville.
But the play with music is a genre of the period: the most-often-performed play with music of the era, Uncle Tom's Cabin, might have almost more singing than speaking (what was sung varied from production to production), but people came to see Eliza escape across the ice.
A few publications of melodramatic music for plays suggest what music might have accompanied her escape.

Nine of those songs make up what the band feels is their biggest accomplishment to date, their self-released album "Brick and Mortar," which has been praised by critics and fans alike, praising their aggressive rock style and their uniqueness and originality.
Despite their success, 1881, as well as many other local bands, are recovering from a slow summer season dominated by a slow economy and another crazy festival season in which even their most loyal fans are distracted by Summerfest and State Fair.
To get their music out there, 1881 has used the Internet, namely mp3.com, as a tool to bring together a wider audience as they begin work on their new EP.

Peasant folk music had been an important part of the region's rural culture for hundreds of years, but by the early 20th century, there were not many musicians playing and the music was in danger of being lost.
In addition to saving a wealth of music from oblivion, Bartók and Kodály made some important discoveries in their research, noting both the differences and the interrelationships between Hungarian and other folk music traditions (especially Gypsy music), which had fused considerably over time.
Kodály established the internationally acclaimed Kodály method of musical education and lived to become the grand old man of Hungarian music, while Bartók died relatively young in the United States, an impoverished, embittered refugee from fascism.
