If music be the food of love, play on... (978 words) |
 | 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 (2848 words) |
| 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. |
