“I know that my music is heard a lot in commercial circles. In academia, I think my music is taken in differently but I'm not sure why that is. Some kind of sixth sense tells me that people in that world are thinking differently about it. I don't know if it has to do with the structure of my music, which is probably more apparent to those in the academic world than it is in the commercial world, where people tend not to think of that aspect of music so much. They just listen for pure enjoyment.” PeopleThinkingWorldKindTakenMusic IsNot SureEnjoymentAcademicJust ListenSixth Sense Author:Jennifer Higdon
