Nick_A, I haven't given it much thought till now, but I will try to listen to some of the older works and put it into words. BTW I do play some classical music on the piano, and I'll use that to try and get some feel for what you mean. This is a really odd forum, when someone does try to broach a serious subject, you get the kind of responses you have so far, sometimes it seems that you are better off to stick with hostility and abuse, just like everyone else.
The question of the anonymous is difficult if a person hasn’t felt it. I’ve learned that child prodigies exist in math, chess, and music. Why? It dawned on me that these fields are logical. Where chess and math are intellectually logical and connect levels of understanding when perfect, music is emotionally logical. That means the musician or singer under the right conditions can serve to emotionally connect a deeper level of spirituality with our more normal states. This means that music when perfect serves as a channel connecting levels of reality emotionally. We cannot do it with our five senses. Rather it happens in a way the intellect cannot define. It has to be felt. This is why this thread is only for those who have felt the power of music when it is perfect. This is different than the power of music to excite and manipulate our lower emotions. It is a different experience that only those who have felt it can understand.
I’ve read that this quality of art has a ‘present.” It is timeless. The truths it communicates are not subjective but rather objective truths that the deeper parts of our being feel. Since it is perfect and timeless it affects people from the past and present equally if they are open to it. Anything you can add through your experience is appreciated.
