Oh, Mwheelerk, you just don't read enough Hegel. It is the phenomenology of active encounter with the spirit of music, in which being encounters the alien, defines itself against it, then turns back upon itself to become free from the initial separation, resolving the dialectic in perfect harmony.
On the Transmigration of Souls
I just bought this CD and found it to be very powerful. The use of words and phrases from posters and interviews following 9/11 gives this choral work an emotional impact that is truly profound. I don't know how often I'll listen to it -- I think I'll need to be in the mood for "important" music -- but I'm glad I've purchased it and have it on the shelf. Wondered what other Audiogoners felt. Thanks in advance.
