lyrics

Although the Musica Ficta Suite (named after the place where the composer supposedly vanished) is no longer played; there are others, phantoms, yanked about and torn asunder, mere fragments of telemetry; proceeding from the recognition that sound and light are responses to vibrations.

There is felt a dichotomy of harmony, of being pushed too far; accomplished by the sub-conscious mind attuned to the absolute pitch of tone-color; the government of vibration and motion.

It seems possible to take almost any process, and one by one, add or subtract from it a long series of compositional schools; to compose (or re-compose) all the orders of possible permutations of imagination, forming a succession of diversified sounds.

The question of compositional harmony has often been fraught by riots and mob justice.

There have been many movements so overwhelmingly beautiful that were never found, or were destroyed…
Perhaps they never existed.
