Nathan Beacom said: “Music is not the product of unintentional forces, but souls. When we hear it, we know that we listen to it because someone first felt, thought, wrote, and played it. In it, we recognise not only the movement of another soul but also the intention which devised the system and the ordering power that created the possibility of harmony. It suggests that the universe is not – could not be – cold and indifferent, but is shot through with intention, feeling, and purpose.”
