Some Musical Truths

I'm sure the OP had good intentions in initiating this thread, but it's spawning a lot of the same type of stupid, "supposed to be funny" responses as the other threads about your favorite love song, and your favorite lyrics to a song.

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.

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,
