Some Musical Truths

John (Roxy54), I agree, except that some of the examples cited in the OP leave me uncertain as to whether the introductory sentences in his post were said tongue-in-cheek, or not. And that his intent therefore may have been to inspire the kinds of responses you referred to.

In any event, based on a serious interpretation of that post, my answer is as follows:

To me, the most all encompassing musical expression of human truths is represented by Symphony No. 1 of Johannes Brahms. It is not readily stated in words, however.

Best regards,

Just because something is stated humorously, doesn't mean it's void of meaning. So many levels are at play here.

And, I agree with Al that some of the best music "spoken" to me is without language.

All the best,

you know, oh, oh
that you're over the hill

that your body can't fill

Al,
Yes, I also wondered if the OP's choices were meant to be serious, humorous or a mixture of both. I agree with you and Nonoise that what we experience when listening to music is at times too transcendent for verbal description.
Al, because I respect your opinion, I am going to make a point of purchasing that symphony ASAP. Please tell me which version you prefer. I am all digital, so it will need to be a CD.
Thanks to both of you for your positive words.
