[flyingharmony.livejournal.com]

Activity: Ouverture
Points: Long debate: Participation 10pts, Additional comment: 2pts, 30pts limit.
Deadline: Submit your answers by Monday, April 30th @ 22:59 UTC (timezone converter).
Details: New club leader, new luck, don't they say? Let's start with discussing a fundamental question: Music. We all love music, at least we who joined the music club. But what does music mean? Can we define music like we can define physical laws? What does music mean to us, how does it influence our lives, our thinking, etc? There's lots of material for discussions. As always, you'll get ten points for your initial comment (which should be at least 100-150 words long) and two more for each additional comment (I'm not giving you any limits for this, but please, show that you've put some thought and effort in it, just saying "I agree/don't agree" isn't enough) with a limit of 30 points as a total.

Note: I've turned notifications off for this, so if there are any questions etc, feel free to contact me via PM!

Note #2: As always, please don't forget to sign each comment with your name&house and to check if you're on the roster - there will be no grace periods!

Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent. Victor Hugo recommends you to join the Club.

This is fairly true-- I tend to associate music with a lot of different memories. I think one of the biggest examples for me is listening to church songs. I went to a Catholic school where we regularly held mass and a big part of those were the songs that we sung. For the major milestones in our lives (first communion, confirmation, graduations, etc) we would spend hours of our days singing songs over and over again. I am not the most religious person in the world (nor am I its best singer) but I loved singing those songs. I was always with my friends and we always had fun and sometimes when we went on long road trips we amused ourselves by singing various church songs and working on the blending for them. There's just something completely calming and soothing with singing them again, all these years later.
