Symbolism and music...


' Many artists share the notion that all art should aspire to the condition of music, which is thought to be the most direct aesthetic medium...music should not be "confined to reproducing nature exactly but rather to producing the mysteriuos correspondences which link Nature with imagination" -(Llyod, p.266). The 19th century French composer, Claude Debussey believed that in music 'not only sound but silence has meaning in the element of music.'
Music is trascendent by nature and Universal. And, although orchestrated works are wonderful, all formal elements such as in metred works in writing and composition should move more within a natural flow to achieve liberation and freedom in space and time (i.e. infintity and within that spectrum of color, sound and motion)....
