Resonance in Singing and Speaking

CHAPTER XI
5/9

All genuine impulse to sing is from the soul in its need for expression.

Through expression comes growth in soul consciousness and desire for greater and greater self-expression.
Singing is far more than "wind and muscle," for, as Ffrangcon-Davies puts it, "The whole spiritual system, spirit, mind, sense, _soul_, together with the whole muscular system from feet to head, will be in the wise man's singing, _and the whole man will be in the tone_." Of all the expressions of the human spirit in art form, the sublimated speech we call song is the most direct.

Every other art requires some material medium for its transmission, and in music, subtlest of all the arts, instruments are needed, except in singing only.
FREEDOM In song the singer himself is the instrument of free and direct expression.

Freedom of expression, complete utterance, is prevented only by the singer himself.

No one hinders him, no one stands in the way but himself.
