Meant to record somewhere this statement, with which I disagree with completely:
"Speech is the voice unbound, timbrely [sic] rich and thick with meaning. Song, on the other hand, forces the voice into narrow norms, stressing rules tonality, rhythm, and content that have little to do with any language." -- Nicholas Colllins, notes to Lovely Music CD of Alvin Lucier's I Am Sitting in a Room
