Trying new music. When I am at the library I will usually check out the selection of music they have on hand, and usually something I would never consider buying or something I have no knowledge about. Since our library serves a large population the selection is wide ranging enough that I can explore a few different avenues. I do always find myself embracing this music- Renaisssance Madrigals, as an example, did not sweep me off my feet, but I did find the insert interesting. Regardless, the experiment is always sucessful in that I am made aware of the world of music out there, in that it keeps from falling into a rut. If I do not always like or appreciate what I hear in music I am not familar with, I always do return to what I know and love with a sharpened sense of makes it special to me.
