of whispered melodies
and dexterous fingers
caressing the valves, the slaves
of the trumpet,
carrying the sound to open places,
sweeter than the sound that entered,
converting the beautiful
into the extraordinary,
the trumpet and the man
and the conversion of
heavenly thoughts.
Oh sweet sound,
Oh that sweet sound.
~Excerpt from Robert Martin's writings
