Music, then, is a power that can be used for good or for evil, and it is a controlling factor of civilization and its trends. Aristotle said, “The introduction of a new kind of music should be shunned as imperiling the whole state since styles of music are never disturbed without affecting the most important political institutions.” It has been said, “It doesn’t matter who writes the laws as long as the one who controls is able to write the music of a nation.”
