Conductor Robert Franz says a good melody captures our attention.
And then it moves you through time.
Music is architecture in time.
If you engage in the moment with what you're listening to,
you do lose a sense of the time around you.
How we experience time.

The U.S.
Supreme Court is weighing arguments over the authority of lower courts to restrict President Trump's executive orders.
The justices are deciding whether judges can block Trump's attempt to reinterpret a clause in the U.S.
Constitution.
NPR's Kerry Constance reports that that clause deals with birthright citizenship.
Many of the justices have been on record in speeches and writings saying they do not like this idea that one judge who can be very wrong in one part of the country can make a decision that binds everybody else for a long period of time.
Those justices include Elena Kagan.
But today she said in her questioning that this case is different
because it involves this issue of birthright citizenship,
which has basically been settled law for over 125 years.
It involves Supreme Court precedent, the 14th Amendment.
NPR's Kerry Johnson reporting.
