long ago, when a local television channel, passing at the time of the small desktop classical films, taken from the Japanese channel NHK. I was a boy, but did not need musical knowledge to enjoy it all. The bucolic images accompanying the music of each composer and briefly explained the subtitles simultaneously (the Japanese) the motivations, inspirations and life of each one of them. Contemplating those landscapes and scenes of old European cities like Prague, Vienna and Budapest, had a very nostalgic look you wanted that never ends.
Who sounds like a cliché-but-not felt empathy or impulse to join the rebel cause of William Wallace in the movie 'Heart Valiente ', challenging the English oppression, when he heard the cry of bagpipes patriotic recreating the loneliness and sadness of the Scottish Highlands. Or the exquisite soundtrack of Nino Rotta, who instilled a spirit reminiscent of the masterpiece of Francis Ford Coppola, transporting privileged witnesses to the dreams of the Italian deep. Yes, the music's fault that I keep envisioning over and over again the story of the Corleone with the assiduity of a devotee who goes to church.
So wildest and hidden soul can be overcome if you hear the chords of a melody. It is no accident Jesuit missions to flourish in tropical South America, using seduction as a weapon of musical road in the difficult task of evangelizing the land. That work continues today, is reflected in the knowledge of the Guarani descendants still retain the ability to build violins and other instruments and better yet, have made real baroque orchestras, which have recently led his music, including the Old World.
If something is music, is the extraordinary power of spiritual disarmament, the seductive power of even the coldest spirits that fill an auditorium. How, the real applause from an audience that listens to a translator even debutante, with delicacy and skill sing a song without much consideration for the genre? Or mass hysteria of a stage at a rock concert?
has repeatedly said that the man is unable to resist and from the womb to the powerful influence of this art. Given his influence stop our trials, our miseries will become more bearable, or transport us to times or situations never experienced vague or diffuse connotancia sort spiritual numbness.
The music also has that power, sometimes dangerous and revive national feeling, that of highlighting the social, cultural and economic society. Even to be poorly used as propaganda by certain schemes. See the Wagner case, until now taboo in certain circles, as if the composer could have anticipated the terrible use of their work.
Humanity has many examples of the brutality inherent throughout history. For millennia of violence and mutual destruction for all its pettiness, the man was also capable of sensitizing all around him. The art of Orpheus is perhaps alongside other art forms, the only certainty 'palpable' and promising that the man, despite everything, does not live in vain.
