Music that has a hold of me beyond understanding
I just took a musical bath. I listened, for the umpteenth time, to Puccini's La Boheme. I can't begin to understand how someone could ever create such a thing of beauty. There are many 'songs' that compete in their individual beauty, but no other opera, play, or body of singing that even comes close, for me. You?
@newbee Thank you for this post. Yes. I've wondered all my life what it is about music that has such incredible power over us. Music defined the course of my life and gives me energy when nearly everything else takes. @jeffrey125 The Requiem! Le Grande Macabre! The violin concerto! |
