Music and the Visual Arts

Music and the visual arts always had a strong conection. The relashionship has allways been there we rarely live in silence. For most of us we have a soundtrack to our own lives. We allways visualise, and both are creative forms. No coincidence that musicians came from art collages.

Movement isn't just visual. Music and the visual arts go beyond the material go beyond the physical culture of our world. In each movement in culture music and art change too.

The musical portryal of the poetic words used was called word-painting, and it made for pleasant listening.
