Star Music
From time to time we will bring some music intimately involving the human approach to space, the stars and even Heaven. I have always found it fascinating how we grasp the concept of The Infinite – as have untold millions of other human beings. This approach tells us much about ourselves, our arts and our overall concepts of the Universe we live in.
Here is a somewhat ironic but -still sort of “spacial” piece. Laurie Anderson’s music contains much “space” and it is a common subject with this performing artist. We will later feature Handel, Purcell and the other composers from our history who spent an inordinate amount of time with rendering a music which lifted our focus upwards and outwards. Later, we will approach such diverse realms as Jazz and Pop Electronic music to see how more contemporary artists handle it all. The Indian music, in fact, of the American West is also available, a delightful form of celebration in its own right.
