Serendipitous music

When you suddenly come upon music in public, it is like a meditation bell. It pulls you back to the present. I think that’s why people can be so joyous when they stumble upon a violinist in a garden or a clarinetist in a parking garage. And the experience seems to linger. (My vice principal talked about the former example in a meeting I had with her.). I like the idea of more joyously present people with lingering positive musical experiences.
