So I return to the Stratford Mall and the Sarabande and the immense perceptual world of which music will always be a part. If I am to teach honorably I must teach the whole world. I must freely admit how ubiquitous music really is--how it can trickle into every nook and cranny of culture, sometimes nearly lost, other times gloriously highlighted, articulating its inherent worth and laying claim to its right to be deeply attended to. If I can somehow show that the glory of music lies in the many ways it brings pleasure; if I can weave these all into a perceptual whole, without idolizing one and damning another, then maybe I can assist in the reform of an art which is fast losing its perceptual completeness, sucked into the trivialities and addictions of popular culture.
