Michael! This is more than I could have imagined! Thank you so much for driving all that way to the recital and for so generously interacting the the musical message of the evening. A pure joy to meet in you in person and I look forward to our future interaction. Point of information: I do play the Song for Turtle in the above recording. It begins at 8:44 when I stand up to play the harmonics which begin this beautiful movement! I'm liking the idea of the New Humanism very much and I know Ron Warren will resonate with your treatment of his beautiful work! Have a glorious Holy Week.
Thank you so much for your brilliant generosity — and for the correction; I've amended the text. I look forward to talking with you again. Have a blessed Holy Week and Pascha!
Wow, what a fascinating synthesis of concepts you've begun developing here. I have so many thoughts. I went down the temperament rabbit hole last week after you spoke about the possibility of interviewing Barnes. Got an invite to the "xenharmonic" Discord,where they're talking about things like 311 equal divisions of the octave...my goodness. Anyway, I love your "becoming human first" part. Feels like a fresh and fair take. Reminds me of a particular line from St. Maximus, "He is a river for those who pour out like a river the religious and upright and saving teaching as giving abundant drink to men, cattle, beasts, and plants, so that even men might be deified in being raised to the contemplation of what is spoken of, and those who have become brutish by the passions might become human through the exact proof of virtuous behavior and resume their natural rationality."
I would love to be able to present something on temperament on the SW, yet I don't know that I have all it takes to pull it off — it may be great workshop material, though. We should talk more about it.
