silence. I can say that now.”

them on different instruments — trombones, violins, flutes and
drums — The combinations are infinite! And then when you put it
all together, with a beginning, a middle, and an end, it grows into
a ... It transcends mere sound and speaks directly to your
heart — because you hear it! I don’t have the signs that can ... I
can’t explain it, I’m sorry.”
