Once music and art were central to every school's cirriculum. Then came budget cuts...and with it a decline in our culture. Most high school students in America have no idea this music exists. They have never been exposed to it. Sad.

@das1418 "Oh, don't forget that student's in general wouldn't be allowed to listen to this anyways because it is religious music"

If it is the music they are working with, for example in some art class, then it would be fine. It is only if it is in a religious context. Just like you can teach the Bible as part of a literature class or comparative religion but not in an explicitly religious context.

this is divine

[MrEnglishMuphin]

This was the last song I heard before the strings program was cut at our school.

@lukawski100 I appreciate that you brought up Thomas Mann whose work I happen to admire because Mann goes deep into what is not apparent or obvious in man. Mann himself was deeply involved with music, as well as psychoanalysis - you may be interested in reading "Letters of Thomas Mann: 18889 - 1955".

By the way, I will take a fresh look at "Doctor Faustus".

Thanks for responding.

@ydraki The art without God has slowly became trash (the devil's words in thomas Mann's "Doctor Faustus"), who cares about culture, really ?

[jorge1234]

This song trascends religious matters in every of its aspects, even though the theme is clearly religious the music speaks to us in a language that speaks of something way much general, the suffering of a mother, of a dying son. This song expresses human matters in a beautiful and tragic matter,  theological apparatus or not.

I LOVED

[BarrocoeBrahms]

Nothing compared with the version of Kirkby/Bowman!! it´s still the best

[MrIamSamIam2]

Easily one of my favourite performances.

@Wien1938 Thanks for your well balanced response.

Yes, I did emphasize my wish for ART to be more central in our lives (as you see, I am correcting the "hyperbole" about perpetual bliss I expressed in my original comment). And while I am fully aware of the pragmatic values of wealth, still would prefer to prioritize the ARTS at the core in man's daily life and this only because good ART helps transform MAN on a higher level.

@ydraki ...peace und purity of mind, detachment from all material blisses, mystics like Jean de la Croix lived it to the full.
