Let's talk music, no genre boundaries
This is an offshoot of the jazz thread. I and others found that we could not talk about jazz without discussing other musical genres, as well as the philosophy of music. So, this is a thread in which people can suggest good music of all genres, and spout off your feelings about music itself.
Great point, @acman3 ! |
I dont know if i takes the times i will learn how to appreciate every single individual artists. I dont think so. For each singular artist i listen my gut and my feeling guide me...i rarely change my mind...But there exist a slow changin evolution in my musical journey...
For a style,genre,or for a cultural musical movement or way of being, it is another complete story... Here my taste had been educated and trained with much humility and listening session whose goal was : what this means ? Once a culture is slowly integrated with many years, my opinion about any of his artists is felt immediately almost without too much error...
Example ? It takes me a slow habituation in the madrigals style of Italian music to understand the difference between Gesualdo and Monteverdi and appreciate the two on equal footing....
I discovered Jazz only i stumble onto artists that were geniuses i could understand on the pot but it has taken much times to appreciate all jazz musicians for who they are... Humility for sure ...

What you said about appreciating music is how I feel. I did try Haydn's "Creation" Oaratorio. I just don't like Oratorios. I don't like the way the music becomes background for the singers to give Christian doctrine. I am listening to Bach's Mass in B Minor and it is all music all the time. I know the singers, who are singing in German so I can't understand, are singing about Jesus, but because the music goes forth unimpeded, they are just part of the music to me. |

Perhaps I simply lack sufficient patience for hanging out in the "zone of tolerance" long enough for it to transition to "liking". When I go back, re-listen, I almost never find something I haven’t liked in the past has become appealing. But it also works the other way -- what I like, I tend to like for a very long time.
Perhaps I’m interpreting this in a way you don’t intend, but I relate...
