Can music be a gateway or a portal to the Sacred?
For the full text of the post on why this music is so important to me on a personal level, go to my blog FAITH, HOPE, LOVE (and REASON).
Below is the full rendition of Gabriel's Oboe, which was composed for the film The Mission.
Ennio Morricone - The Mission Main Theme (Morricone Conducts Morricone)
This melody is very soothing. I really liked it. In the movie, it was played at the times when spiritual love was being shown. This connection brings it more closer to the heart. Professor, I read how this melody relates to your wife's death. I was sad to read about your wife's death. Although I already knew about it, but reading about it made me more emotional. It is true that some things (music,art) have a unique connection with our feelings.
ReplyDeleteJust reading the lyrics made me feel relaxed. It's such a peaceful melody.
ReplyDeleteThis song is very soothing and the lyrics are very touching. My favorite line would have to be "In my fantasy exists a warm wind That breathes into the city, like a friend."
