MUSICAL PHARMACOLOGY

Take one Delius ,one Brahms,one Erik Satie before sleep
Avoid Stravinsky,Cage and Stockhausen
For exercise,a dose of Beethoven and Tchaikovsky
some Sibelius and a Wagner
Avoid military marches and dissonant New Music!
Strauss waltzes and operettas for light mood therapy
Gilbert &Sullivan for comedic effect
Gershwin and Cole Porter to sing along with
Rogers and Hammerstein/Hart for joy
Life is a jukebox of available pleasures
If breath is prana yoga,singing voice therapy
then Muse can heal us with harmonies and melodies
Were you just singing along to the Beatles?
Every generation has their themes
Memory has a sound track..
