Music, it seems, is closely linked to time. Sir Colin Davis said: ‘You can find in music something you can’t find in anything else, because it makes time meaningful – at least it does to me. Every time you give a concert, time is suspended: you’re mastering it; time is not the enemy.’ Music helps us to live in the moment, whether performing or listening, singing or dancing. Composers can fix the ephemeral, the sound of a lark rising, or match words with musical notes to evoke a passing thought, a feeling.
