Biber Rosary Sonatas - Sonata XIV - The Assumption II

[spinoza1111]

Scored for the flayed man,

The instrument is on purpose out of tune,

Playing on the beach under the moon,

Hauled up by the angels, like a corporal on the Gothic line,

North of the Arno in 1945, and so,

With all of his sins washed away, he goes

Straight to heaven, don't pass Go.

"The resurrection of the body". The body.

Vonnegut saw women taking bombs apart,

I see women magically re-joining limbs.

Good old Manze,wonderfull stuff he always delivers an amazing atmosphere.Biber should be a lot more well known to the general public these days,Biber was after all the sparking influence in Bach and a source of ideas for the sonatas and partitas.I think his music is very important, its structurally complex,perhaps the first composer to start thinking beyond dance melodies,and pushing the boundaries.
