Musical Curiosity

What does the music mean?
What is the goal of the phrase? What is the gesture? What colors will you use?

Asking these questions will help you determine what you will say.

Developing musical intuition begins with curiosity and observation. It continues with experimentation. You play an instrument.

Max Ignas helped underscore the Mass’ many brilliant passages with high trumpet passages that often mirrored vocal lines.
