Music As High Art

~ Good question!

I weep whenever I hear a fine voice or instrument clearly display tones ... Seriously, I cry.

It's why I listen to certain groups, because the combination of their efforts allows me to enjoy a piece of music without weeping.

... That seems pretty weird, I know.

Music makes me cry.

For some reason {perhaps because...} I can't remember those that do.

I find that the more traditional Christmas music you hear in churches to be far more moving than the more classic pieces - even though some of them (like Silent Night) are moving.

Being a Wagnerian, I also find Wagnerian music very moving.

much music is truly inspired - Mozart is a classic example (and no pun intended).

The complicated mathematical computations required to create music (way beyond head-banging or rap) takes it to the highest level of the art form, just as complicated structure and color management takes painting or sculpture to its highest level.

The emotions music compels is an indicator of what level it reaches. When it touches your soul, there ain't much higher than that.
