A University of Illinois music professor was commissioned to write a song not
about it, but
from it. He didn’t say anything about a savage beast, but composer Stephen Andrew Taylor says there is something special about music.
“We are all on the planet for a pretty short time,” says Taylor. “I think we are just trying to help each other to get through things as best as we can, to try to be friends with other people, to try to help other people, and I think music is a deep way of doing that. It’s just such a fundamental part of being a human being.”.
