Classical Music for Aficionados

I always thought that a requiem was a mass ?

For reasons not known to me, the worst things get , the calmer I get .

Two times in Army I was thought dead in hospital , Not really , I was whatever

you call almost dead but you come back.

Both times I was not in fear because wherever I was, there was no fear .

I love Mozart of course , but the other genius , Schubert,, brought the feelings

to me that Mozart bought to you guys , Mozart is the greatest writer of music .

But Schubert is the greatest writer of humanly music .

A musician sees Mozart, the Lady in Church sings Ava Maria ,

Schubert makes you think of all things human.

Mozart was like us, ordinary human, thinking about death with fear and hope at the same time...I dont think that we must fear death, i think the the animal in us fear death...And the Mozart spiritual drama is yes first a mass but more than that a spiritual opera about the animal who fear death and the children who hope in spite of death in us......The Hogwood version make this very sensible and very clear it is more than a mass...We dont lack beautiful masses , we lack spiritual opera though...

For Schubert no one would deny that here the human heart incarnate himself in music score....He was so talented but so receptive that S. created you are right one of the most "humanly music" ever written... His choral and lieders are testimony of his greatness over almost everyone else...I dont even think that someone is over Schubert for creating more beautiful singing music...Save Mozart beside him....

My version for what you say, and rightly so, is simple , Prayer .

God is not looking for a spiritual opera.

P.S .

Madama Butterfly is a spiritual opera , very much so.

I think you are right for Madama Butterfly...

Thank  you to understand my perspective...

I like to discuss ... It is my Achiles heel....

It’s more your Glory.

I find among very intelligent people I know they use spiritual all the time.

Most are people who can not understand why if there is a God why he allows

the horrows of our world .I have to turn my head when I see a 3 yr child weighs

ten pounds and a 13 year old girl is less than four 4 ,ft tall on a "Save the Child",,which is my chief fund ,, ad on TV .

Or why is my son or my mother or my wife have, cancer .

And a thousand other things. I don’t have the answer.

All I can think of , is mankind has proved there is infinity and if there is a God

all the Sorrows of this earth are less than the blink of his eye .

And there is always Pascal.
