“There is no short cut to success in music. We find budding musicians who are graceful stick-waggers, but unless they possess the ability to hear an inner part, unless they can read a score, unless they cail visualize sounds, and unless, above all, they have the power of holding their players and singers, of molding them to their will, and of imparting something of themselves to them and to their hearers, then all else is of no avail.”
(from the Choral Journal article, “The Carols of Harold Darke: More Than In the Bleak Mid-Winter,” by Richard Waters)
