Frogman , you see the music as a musician , I see Music as what it does for me to be a better person . A hard job . As a Christian, if only a fair one, if Bach and Monteverdi were the only music in the Universe I would thank God for his greatest gift, save his Son, to me and mankind each and every day . And I know you are both Musician and Christian . |

Schubert, yes, as a musician…..in large part, but still only part. That part of the mix is but one piece of the pie; not the least of which is to be a better person. The two ways of “seeing” music don’t have to be mutually exclusive and each feeds the other. One could put all modesty aside and make a case for why there are few better ways to be a better person than to give the joy of music. I would say that all normal human flaws aside, the gift that Bach and Monteverdi gave the world made them pretty darn good persons. |
