More on music…


In the magazine Opus a Swedish priest says:

“I believe in the synthesis between the verbal message and the music. And don’t forget that many people are tired of words. Many people prefer listening to the music [listen to music more than a lot of words. We need to express ourselves with other means than words too! For instance through different artistic expressions. And communicate with other means! And we need to be active communicators and executors, not only passive receivers! People have written and expressed earlier...*].”

At another place it stood about music-execution:

“They know the entirety is dependent on the parts, that the parts are cooperating or working together for the harmony's and for development's sake, and that the differences and distinctiveness (särprägling) are resources.”
It also stood about "Disguised God" in this magazine, with music by the composer Lars-Erik Larsson and lyrics by Hjalmar Gullberg.

Listen to Disguised God here with Håkan Hagegård as soloist. Here Erland Josephson reciting from it. And Hillevi Martinpelto soprano-soloist in it. Two years ago I finished a course that was held in this school.

* The mind and soul - and brain needs stimulation? The whole person needs nourishment, nourishment of other kinds than only things we take in through the mouth! Many live on starvation-diets of many different kinds? Living in environments giving little too? Drawn to them, into them, in a sort of re-enacting of their early lives? Lonely (but maybe not always literally), in soils where one can't really grow? And many look down on these persons? Admire the intelligent and successful? Contempt for weakness I would say... Something even so called "enlightened" show.
