You are purchasing high quality sheet music PDF files suitable for printing or viewing on digital devices.From a set of 37 musical reflections for small orchestra inspired by the ancient philosophical text by Lao Tzu: "Tao Te Ching".
This movement is inspired by verse 35:
Hold the great elephant - the great image - and the world moves. Moves without danger, in safety and peace.
Music and sweets make passing guests pause, but the Tao emerges flavourless and bland.
Look - you won't see it.
Listen - you won't hear it.
Use it - you will never use it up.
