Musical Ideas Quotes

Charles Gounod quote: "Musical ideas sprang to my mind like a flight of butterflies,..."
Musical ideas sprang to my mind like a flight of butterflies, and all I had to do was to stretch out my hand to catch them. Charles Gounod
I'll come in with a string of riffs and direct the musical ideas. But you still need a band and their input to make the ideas come alive. You can't underestimate band chemistry. Billy Corgan
Harrison Birtwistle quote: "My operas usually come from musical ideas rather than ideas..."
My operas usually come from musical ideas rather than ideas about subject matter. Harrison Birtwistle
Negro music and culture are intrinsically improvisational, existential. Nothing is sacred. After a decade, a musical idea, no matter how innovative, is threatened. Archie Shepp
Lou Gramm quote: "I had my own musical ideas that Mick helped me with as well."
I had my own musical ideas that Mick helped me with as well. Lou Gramm
I did quite a lot of the arranging, fitting different sections together, tempo changes, all sorts of things like that. I actually acted as a bridge between Robert and Ian. Not so much composing, rather presenting musical ideas at each rehearsal. Michael Giles
Oscar Peterson quote: "I believe in using the entire piano as a single instrument..."
I believe in using the entire piano as a single instrument capable of expressing every possible musical idea. Oscar Peterson
Music, when combined with a pleasurable idea, is poetry; music, without the idea, is simply music; the idea, without the music, is prose, from its very definitiveness. Edgar Allan Poe
Music has to be written while people are still excited about a particular melodic or rhythmic sequence. The idea doesn't come out the same if we're not really excited about it. Brandon Boyd
But ever since, more than a year before, discovering to him many of the riches of his own soul, the love of music had, for a time at least, been born in him, Swann had regarded musical motifs as actual ideas, of another world, of another order, ideas veiled in shadow, unknown, impenetrable to the human mind, but none the less perfectly distinct from one another, unequal among themselves in value and significance. Marcel Proust
I've always thought of music as something which gives the words their flight and their wings and the music often comes first, although sometimes I'll have a concept, a title idea, a lyric idea that I want to write and the lyric will come first. Neil Diamond
I remember Tim telling me that he had an idea for a musical and he said to me that he was hoping that ABBA would be writing the music, which I thought was a pretty wild idea because they were obviously known very much as pop writers. Elaine Paige
Hector Berlioz quote: "Love cannot express the idea of music, while music may give an..."
Love cannot express the idea of music, while music may give an idea of love. Hector Berlioz
This idea comes to you, you can see it, but to accomplish it you need what I call a "setup." For example, you may need a working shop or a working painting studio. You may beed a working music studio. Or a computer room where you can write something. It's crucial to have a setup, so that, at any given moment, when you get an idea, you have the place and the tools to make it happen. If you don't have a setup, there are many times when you get the inspiration, the idea, but you have no... David Lynch
I mean, just because you're a musician doesn't mean all your ideas are about music. So every once in a while I get an idea about plumbing, I get an idea about city government, and they come the way they come. Jerry Garcia
