 Posted: Thu Sep 14, 2006 10:26 pm Post subject: The Sound of Silence and the Silence of Sound. |
 |
|
I have found that the most profound of my musical experiences has occurred when the music has brought my mind into a realm somewhere in between silence and sound. It is a realm where silence is just as important to the music as is sound and where one's own voice becomes attuned to a Higher voice. It is a realm where the active imagination is fused with a passive revelation. Whether it be plainchant, Palestrina, J.S. Bach, Debussy, Scheonberg or Messiaen, music of profundity and revelation have gone a long way in enabling me to understand what it means to be still and know that God IS.
Forgive the poetic obscurity, but music is difficult to talk about, is it not?
Please share your thoughts and experiences!

Music is just sound,
and
when sound is broken up into letters and words and pictures,
and loved with the sound-lettered-worded word Love,
we have Love sounds, Love-letters, Love-words, Love-pictures.
The Love words are the most important because
then we have sounds for sound: Sound, and etc
we have sounds for sound between sound & silence: Intermision, smile and etc
and we have sounds for no sound: Silence, and etc
So the 4-lettered word Love is the most important sound-word or word-sound since it makes music of the sound of no sound, double music of all sounds, and makes triple-music of all music.
With the Sound of Music
for all sounds,
for the sound of no sound or the sound of silence,
and for poetically obscure sounds,smile
and which Sound of Love makes it easy to forgive and talk about any sound and about no sound,smile

| That was a beautiful post, apocatastasis. Somewhere between silence and sound.......that's something to think about. |
