Maestro with mystical aura!
MAESTRO - a master of any art, composer, conductor, teacher of music.
Within the magical and astrological frame, what are the basic features of music? As an aspect of ritual, music is a material
reality that is as much fixed as gestural, as much verbal as it is acous-tic and rhythmic. The key importance of the word in these rites is the magical echo of the debates on the interactions between text and music that were a focal point for the Renaissance period and still are for musicologists.
Magic is an object of ethnological and anthropologi-cal study. - from the book "Music and Esoterism"
"dance of life'
I cannot escape the moon. Its soft beams push aside the curtains at night. I don't even have to see it - a cool blue energy falls across my bed and I am up. I race down the dark hall and swing open the door, not to leave home but to go back to it. "Moon, I'm here!" I shout.
"Good," she replies. "Now give us a little dance."
But my body has started moving long before she says anything. When did it start? I can't remember - my body has always been moving. Since childhood I have reacted to the moon this way, as her favorite lunatic, and not just hers. The stars draw me near, close enough so that I see through their twinkling act. They're dancing, too, doing a soft molecular jiggle that makes my carbon atoms jump in time.
From the book "Dancing the Dream" : Poems and Reflections by Michael Jackson
"Music is a mantra that soothes the soul..., something our body has to have. It´s important to understand the power of music." -Michael Jackson
