Well stated, Ron!! Having spent a brief time immersed in the theory/composition area, I’ve viewed music as a palette of sound – derived from nature but assimilated, interpreted and re-structured – by humans for artistic expression. Check out Olivier Messiaen, who analyzed and utilized songbirds (especially of the Orient) as a source of motif material. His explorations of attack, sustain/decay and timbre notation presaged the use of parallel concepts in MIDI and digital music in the 80’s and 90’s.
We grow as humans through communication and synthesis of concepts from others. Thank you for the continuing and great work in sharing your perspective to benefit of myself and other readers!!
