“Art is how we decorate space and music is how we decorate time”. I remember reading this quote after reading the Language of Creation and understanding it completely different. Tolkien and The Silmarillion also shows music and times connection. Excellent video.
Wow, that quote means so much more after talking with people like Roberts. Amazing how Matthieu's LoC is a spiraling process of learning. I am reviewing the music chapters preparing for a talk with Josh Martin who is sharing extra insights on music that Matthieu Pageau shared with him.
@@DerekJFiedler Something else I really enjoyed reading was something Jonathan Pageau wrote in 2014 called Heaven is Round Earth is Square. It was the fourth article he wrote in a series for the Orthodox Art Journal.
@@TheDrb27 You mean this one? orthodoxartsjournal.org/heaven-round-earth-square/ I remember really appreciating this article too. The older OAJ articles are quite good. I still refer to them on occasion. I sited Jonathan's Zombies/Pentecost article in the Burning Bush article/video essay.
This is fantastic thank you. Something I'm now wondering about is the "proper place" for this 'glass of wine at the end of the day'. For example it occurs to me that this 'glass of wine' (so to speak) can quickly descend into Dionysian revelry and yet I entirely see how it is necessary to rejuvenate the dry sterility of routine. The sabbath is an obvious expression of this idea of the need for release. I wonder what the 'optimal integration' of this idea might look like? I'm sure there must be traditions which have answers to this question.
You're welcome! Yeah, mediating "the way" is a matter of fidelity. Knowing the excesses of work and rest is important. I get into this order/chaos, space/time balance in another video you may find helpful - th-cam.com/video/_T768VQaby4/w-d-xo.html Re: sabbath. My quick answer is that the model of creation in Genesis is 6 days of work and one day of rest. This 6:1 ratio can be understood better as a central body surrounded by the marginal (e.g. majority/minority) rather than a numeric ratio to quantify increments of time. I go into more detail in part 3 of my analysis of Language of Creation - th-cam.com/video/DEUTdlURxcc/w-d-xo.html. Pageau's insights on Sabbath and the 7th day were a major takeaway from the book for me.
what kind of music are you drinking at the end day? i didn't really take you to mean all music regardless of the intended purpose of the piece in question. Like, if I gather my family up in the morning to chant the morning prayers altogether, or if at noontime, i teach my child the ABC's song, hoping the repetition will help her remember her alphabet, that's a bit different than playing guitar or piano or the radio as a rest period activity. Speaking as a musician, there's also a funny difference between sipping a glass of moscato after work, and getting handed a paper bag with the mouth of an undefined bottle poking out the top that everyone's been sharing, and it tastes like cinnamon and it's the only thing louder than the room you're in. On the other hand, singing a drinking song together at a pub is a fantistic way to mix metaphors.
Music is the best "set of metaphors which give us the greatest purchase upon time as a reality." Beautifully stated.
It really is. Nice catch, Drew.
