Music predates history...
One of the oldest pieces of literature is the Book of Job. Most likely the oldest book in the Bible, the back and forth dialog between Job and his miserable comforters end on this note when the Lord finally speaks:
Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation
...
...
while the morning stars sang together
and all the angels shouted for joy?
Job 38:4, 9 (NIV)

As I start this new thread, it's winter...
In the spirit of the season, Antonio Vivaldi composed Winter.
Below the piece is played in the background of beautiful winter scenes. It's where the audio and visual meet in the rhythm of life and existence.

And on this note...
Music is a moral law.
It gives soul to the universe,
wings to the mind,
flight to the imagination,
and charm
and gaiety
to life
and to everything.
