Music in twelve parts - Again

You need to be hearing this as you read this to gain any understanding of how beautiful this piece is. It gets inside you like a long rain shower after a drought. I particularly like the description of it as ' a drone which is not a drone'. Drone, like minimalism belies the complexity of such works. I am not sure Philip Glass would agree but this is music designed to be played loud. It fills up the bads thoughts and yet lets the good thoughts fly regardless of any mood suggested by the keys or changes. My enthusiasm for anything but this has evaporated today so yet another short entry. I seem to be filling my mind's productive space with books at the moment.
