Since the dawn of time, traditional
wisdom has passed on from sage to disciple, master to apprentice, parent
to child, and friend to friend through some form of oral tradition. These
teachings have preserved down through the centuries by means of
either a bard or song, or through the recollection and craft of a good
story teller. The oral tradition of storytelling is the essence of legends and
the sum and substance of song; the written word is, in the
language of reflection, but a shadow. To songwriter and musician Cat Stevens, perhaps it is a Moonshadow. Songwriters have doted on the Moon's charms for centuries on end, from Gregorian chants and folk ballads to twentieth century jazz and pop tunes. Apart from romance, the celestial lamp is one of the most sung about themes. |
